Might have, yet its the highest grossing Bollywood movie of all time. So mostly it was accepted by the people in India, despite having such a controversial theme.

How does a pot boiler masala film being highest grosser mean the idea of hindu muslim marriage was acceptable to them? Faulty argument.

@Balthier

No, we don’t. PK’s theme was not merely to expose fake “mullahs” and fake “peers”, seems like you missed the point of the movie. As far as I know, Pakistan has never made anything remotely close to something as powerful as PK, wrt its core message. Obviously you are free to prove me wrong.

No, I did not miss the point and Yes we do expose fake mullahs and peers all the time on our tv. That was the main PLOT of PK . Pakistan has made Khuda ke lie and Bol which were far more scathing, critical , controversial and direct. India has never made anything close to that.

@Balthier

Breaking cultural and religious barriers, to show that human beings are more worth than religious sentiments and religions, does translate into tolerance. Unfortunately most Pakistanis don’t get this. So I’m not surprised by your response.

Your response does tell us about the taboos and bigoted stereotypes that you’ve created in your head about Pakistanis and “religion”. You’re assuming that Religion is a barrier and that religion is different from humanity. Both the assumptions show your bias. May be right for you but not for others. Infact declaring religion as a barrier contradicts what you profess about “tolerance”

@Balthier

Btw, there are scholars who want to revise and reinterpret Islamic family laws to better suit them to the 21st century. Unsurprisingly they receive death threats. Hopefully they will succeed.

Off topic comment. By that logic, I can drag babri masjid , modi here and it would go on and on. If you’ve no argument left on topic then no point posting.
