"THE MOCKING REALITY"

Recently,there was a movie released produced by Amir Khan named "PK".The movie did pretty well in the box office.As Luck would have it, i had the privilege to watch it 2days back with my little friends.

At the beginning part,i felt it was like any other Bollywood movie when i saw the aliens and the spaceship stuffs.However, i still went with the flow of the movie.There were few comedy scenes causing all of us to burst into laughter.The lord Shiva ji drama scene was the part, that i found the most mirthful.Also, the scene regarding cultural difference in terms of clothing during weddings and death ceremony,was amusing.But,i realized that the theme of the movie had much more to give than this.As from my understanding,i felt that the movie was  mocking at the orthodox taboos of various religions.I really liked it at one part when Pk advises a man to spend time with his sick wife instead of going to some far-off risky Mountain for getting God's blessings to cure his wife! Similarly,the colour of the bridal wedding dress in Hindu culture is Red.It is with the belief that Red colour is Vibrant and filled with energy which adds charm to the bride's look and happiness.On the other hand,White colour dress is worn during the mourning period.But,in the case of Christainity,its just the opposite.The Brides are beautifully dressed in their White Gowns.Here,white colour symbolizes peace and softness.So,this was a wonderful example to illustrate how the cultural practice varies with the varying cultural beliefs and social taboos.Hence forth,Its not really about what is right wrong.Its rather about what culture we are following and with what cultural beliefs we've been brought up.
