PK.

Our third day in the garden city! We'd booked for the morning show of Aamir Khan's new film, 'PK' at a mall nearby.

It was the show at 1030h and we're at the premises on the dot but by the time the vehicle was parked in the basement, tickets collected and we'd taken our seats, it was ten minutes into the movie - a situation that I abhor but given the circumstances it was acceptable. The multiplex hall was packed, in fact, we'd got our bookings on the second row and the screen looked really big(?)!

The movie - made by the winning trio of Vidhu Vinod Chopra-Raju Hiraani-Aamir Khan, after '3 Idiots' - was nice and we(There were eight of us and I can safely say that mom was the oldest viewer in the hall) enjoyed it thoroughly. It had a social message about God being one and the people being exploited on their fear factor by the numerous 'messengers of god'! The society is divided into religious communities, each distrusting the other - a feeling perpetrated by the heads to reinforce their enduring importance!!

Tautly edited, the story is told in an interesting manner and the actors play their parts well. Every character has a role, I mean, no one seems out of place and is integral to the storyline.

During the afternoon session, there were visits by a few of our relatives and friends of my sister. The day was packed, therefore, with activities and we didn't realise as to how time flew!


Tailpiece.

A lack of forethought saw mom feeling uncomfortable in the harsh air conditioned environs of the multiplex. But she insisted that she'd enjoyed the movie anyways! Sorry mom for the faux pas.
