The title picture of amir Khan’s latest movie PK clearly voilates asian values and concept of nudity, it also make it clear that bollywood is following the footsteps of Hollywood in this domain. Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma’s PK has caused a lot of media uproar and many controversies in the recent past. Where on one hand the film has received a lot of critisiam from the audience owing to its unique concept and implementation, on the other, it has been a victim of legal trouble.It all began with nude pose used to advertise PK where he held only a transistor in one hand, to cover his private parts. This pose obscene and vulgar according to asian standards, and thefull size posters were demanded to be removed from the stands.

The Film concept deal with some sequences which are bound to hurt religious and spiritual sentiments of certain classes of society, which force different NGO to take action on basis of Human Rights and Social Justice Front and supported the banning proposal. According to some Lord Shiva lovers the makers of PK have portrayed the Hindu Gods, especially Lord Shiva, in a negative way.

Supreme Court of india give remarks about film, clearly stating that there was no need to ban the film at all. SC had rejected the plea to ban the film, and instead asked viewers to “not watch the film,” if they had qualms with its sentiment and presentation.

“If you don’t like it, don’t watch the film. Don’t bring religious facets here,” said Cheif Justice Of India RM Lodha. He further added saying,” These are matters of entertainment. If you restrict it, it will affect others’ rights. Everything is on the internet. What will you hide?”

Where many social organizations seem to have problems with the presentation and the message of the film, the SC has brought forth a completely different point of view!
