Mosque Stands Tall In Scene Where Alien Chases Shiva, Flings Trishul (pk)

In pk, Aamir Khan chases the “fearless Shiva”, that is, a man dressed as Shiva. In the chase, Khan disrobes a sadhu, flings a Trishul and spits paan in front of a Hindu devotee in prayer. All this while a wide shot of a mosque towers over the “fake and scared” Shiva.

Enraged? Wonder how such a scene, and indeed such a film, got away with so much mockery of Hindus and Hindu deities?

Well, if you set it to a comic background score, you can indeed get away with it. Not just get away, but have your film added to the National Film Archives. Ask Aamir Khan. 

"Fearless Shiva" mocked, Sadhu disrobed. Mosque towers over a scared Shiva (1 min 50 sec). Film pk by Aamir Khan, who is right now on his way to be in Haryana as an esteemed guest at Khelo India Youth Games 2022

Great way to reward Hindu mockerypic.twitter.com/pKksBFm5o8
