Aamir Khan's PK accused of being anti-Hindu as #BoycottPK trends on Twitter

The recent Aamir Khan-starrer PK, which is being lauded by the public and critics, has come under attack by Hindu fundamentalists on Twitter. The religious fanatics have started ranting on social media because they are unhappy with the "portrayal of Hindus" in the movie.

On Twitter, the hashtag, #BoycottPK, began trending as people "hurt by some derogatory remarks" against Hindus and godmen took to the site to express their anger. Some even went as far as to accuse the film of promoting the 'love-jihad' agenda.

Raju Hirani’s cult movies, such as 'Three Idiots' and 'Munna Bhai', are known for carrying social messages and have also won accolades from critics as well as viewers. Hirani's recent venture, PK, questions an individual's interpretation of religion and sends out a message on social harmony.

 

Clearly, the people behind the hash-tag trend did not get the message and took to the micro-blogging site to vent their anger.

Insult Hinduism, Make Money. Insult Islam, Start World Wide Riots #boycottPK
