NO ONE CAN STOP PK!

I have discussed in the past few weeks how 2014 hasn’t been great, especially the last couple of months. The pile of flops increased with each passing week. The much-awaited PK too didn’t have a record opening as such. However, it picked up gradually and dramatically and sustained beautifully in the weekdays. It rocked on Christmas day and in the second weekend too, it refused to slide down! What’s more, the collections even in the weekdays of 2nd week are rock solid. This is despite the fact that the film has crossed 250 crore, meaning it has been seen by almost everyone. However, the film is attracting repeat audiences (which happened in the case of 3 Idiots as well) and no wonder that the film is on a record-breaking spree! It’ll hopefully break the Dhoom 3 record (260-261 crore approx) today or maybe tomorrow morning and will then become the biggest grosser of Indian Cinema!

Another thing to be noted is that, some religious groups have raised objection to certain scenes in the film which they have found offensive. There were even reports of theatres getting vandalized. Such cases can spread fear and prevent audiences from coming to theatres. But in case of PK, there has been no significant drop in the numbers!

PK in my opinion is one of the best films in recent times and that it’s having such a dream run is very heartening to know. Here’s hoping the film earns much more at the box office and wins many more hearts!
