With Hirani, I’ve rarely if ever been very impressed by the actual trailers, but I’ve also never been less than completely impressed by the resulting films. This is really the exact opposite case with just about every other filmmaker in Hindi cinema, where their trailers are usually the best thing their films have to offer.

“I am not used to eating paan, but for this film I have eaten as many as 50 to 60 paans in a day because of my character. We used to have a paanwala on the sets,” Aamir. Anything with paan is annoying. Yuk. That too in a message movie.
The most impressive and handsome looking was Sushant. Anushka is annoying as always. Aamir is fatigued in those mega close ups and looks fake. All the three/four khans should retire. Am tired of seeing their tired, old faces. Men like young girls, so we have new actresses coming every few years. Not sure why they don’t make same assumptions for Heros. Women (audience) don’t like to see old men making fool of themselves (unless if they have a role like king lear or something that demands you to be old or if you are Amitabh Bachchan)

Looks good…pretty much in line with the Aamir-is-an-alien theories floating around.
If his past films are any indication, Hirani will again try to blend a social message with an entertaining story…in this case, the outsider possibly teaching humans how to live and enjoy life?
I’m one of the very few people on Earth who wasn’t so enamored with 3 Idiots and that view hasn’t changed since. But I do remain a fan of Lage Raho Munnabhai.
In Hirani’s worldview, it’s all about inversion. The very characters who are (socially) frowned upon (the Bhais, the ‘rebel/unconventional’ student) turn out to be wise men who go on to find solutions to extraordinary problems. It’s a nice fantasy to believe in. And it works, at least on screen…

an older comment…
[I think in an odd sense the poster (and the director) perhaps capture a certain earnestness which has sometimes been Aamir’s weakness, certainly in the 90s when he tried out the more flamboyant stuff at times (something he finally got over in Fanaa, a point I made at the time). Put differently the ‘alien’ element here, specially with that Spock-like look perhaps taps a certain Aamir strain, very much there from the beginning. At a more mundane level people have made fun of his ears over time. Well he now converts this ‘oddity’ into a strength with a Hirani film!]

After every wedding feast I make it a point to have the paan on offer. It is excellent for digesting a heavy meal. It is also given regularly to pregnant and lactating women, for digestion and to provide calcium.
As for the film PK, I wish with all my heart that it works for Aamir and Hirani. Aamir has revealed in today’s press interaction that he hasn’t been allowed to blink through the film. So obviously Hirani has written the character thus. Sadly, Aamir is already getting ridiculed for his wide eyed look. He could have done a conventional role in a conventional film. But he has chosen to be brave/ foolhardy. I hope his risk pays off.

I think the look is poking fun at Aamir in the way he has always been poked fun at. It’s almost like he finally lands “the” role where he is having fun about these aspects himself.
I sense this film has a touch of 3 Idiots hangover. I hope not and that everything is fresh.
Overall the trailer has done a lot to dispel the posters and the general monotonous aspect of that poster releases.
And I think the big one is being saved for last…I don’t think this film will disappoint but Hirani and Aamir will need to “convince” the audience on the look first. Establishing this rather odd look will be key. All sci fi films need to get you to believe that world. Once transported and involved, Hirani has the skills to draw you in and keep you invested.

Think that at least on paper it looks to be a far more ambitious film than 3I. In a way there’s a continuity between all his films (hirani) is terms of the wry socio-political commentary and so forth. This film looks to be a more ambitious reformulation of the same. An alien arrives and has to learn how ‘earthlings’ behave. And then of course there’s the ET-like element with the alien being the one ‘pure’ being amidst all these ‘alien humans’! On a related note since Aamir is also speaking in dialect it will be interesting to see how Hirani marries these two archives — the rural and the alien!

No way.
Let’s just start with one file Awara. There were so many scenes in that movie like him with a dog under street light, him stading behind nargis, him and nargis starring at moon where just one pose still is looked upon today. Let’s not forget about the music of Awara too, still heard today. Oh and by the way, he not only directed Awara, he starred in it too with powerful performance.
And that’s just one film, when you add, Aag, Barsaat, Awara, Shree 420, Sangam, Mera Naam Joker, Bobby, Prem Rog, Ram Teri Ganga Meli, there’s no competition.
Raj Kapoor was a complete package. His command over script, music, dialogues, creating big sets were just amazing.

Raj Kapoor is best director of Bollywood .. there is no two opinion. I consider his Awara, Shree 420, Sangam, Mera Naam Joker (Not as strong though), Bobby, Prem Rog and Ram Teri Ganga Maili as one of India’s best.
But with 4 ACES delivered (?), It will be only Hirani which will come very close to his stature .. if not equal. One department where Hirani completely falls flat is Music sense .. Raj Kapoor had great ear for music .. with SJK, LP and Ravindra Jain, he able to extract equally good sound tracks.

SJK, LP and Ravindra Jain are even on record saying that some of the tunes were created by Raj Kapoor himself.
above all, Raj Kapoor scores big time over Hirani in Direction department.
Now, I’m probably being old fashioned on this but Direction in old movies were thought of how do you direct a specific scenes and how can you use the things within the frame to give points to the main object.
Take Bobby for example, there’s a scene where Pran ad his wife are arguing and her saree falls off her shoulder and she immediatly pulls her saree up. That one scenes tell yo how stale and broken the marriage is ad that if wife has to cover herself fully in frot of her husband, than that marriage is so off track ad the obvious that they haven’t hed s@x in long long time.

Liked this trailer.. think it’s the best one so far..
there’s something very interesting about this conceit in any case. Hirani has always been a wry commentator on contemporary India, specially ‘urban new India’. One of those rare exceptions in contemporary Bollywood (at any level of cinema) who’s not a cheerleader for the contemporary dispensation, at least not in any easy sense. To now have all of this reflected through the eyes of an ‘alien’ really brings his cinema to a logical conclusion in this sense. Because this would seem to be the ultimate ‘bird’s eye view’ for his contexts. Similarly Aamir himself has been about fostering a meaningful rooted cinema that by its very nature argues against the complacencies of ‘New India’. This happens just about everywhere in his significant work over the past decade or more (across genres) including most recently (and I think rather potently) in Talaash. ). And so this is a rather ‘natural’ marriage between director and actor in this case. Once more I’d also stress that Aamir-as-alien also brings about a certain essence of the actor to the fore inasmuch as and for all his strengths he’s also quite often been a rather earnest actor. If pulled off well this film has the potential to be the director’s greatest. My favorite film from Hirani is still the first Munnabhai though I of course love all of them.

Yes I thought that initially about KPAX but now I think the cat is pretty much out of the bag. Sanjay Dutt’s character talks about,’MEMORY GAYO TOH AADMI AURAT KA PHARAK BHOOL GAYO??,
So I am guessing that Aamir is hit by something on his head double the size of the weapon used in Ghazni wiping out his memory??
Anyhow, the concept of introducing an ‘alien’ in the form of Aamir who will pin-point the many vagaries of the human/indian behavior will be too radicalized for the hinterland. They might prefer ‘memory’ loss as a more consumable option..
The alien stuff has of course been copied by Roshan Sr from ET but then again that was that – an ‘object’ far, far removed from any sort of human resemblance.. the alien ‘power’ is of course injected in Roshan Jr who then indulges in the usual shenanigans of pumping his muscles to play basketball which is far more in the realm of acceptability for the Indians..

V V Chopra is said to have suggested the unblinkng wide-eyed look.It’s there in one of the promo videos above. Apparently it was a strain for Aamir.
It’s going to be a strain for the viewers too. and I am an Aamir supporter saying this. Too much of the wide-eyed idiot- savant persona about this character. I am hoping that the film as a whole is more varied, not a one -note affair. 3 idiots did not disappoint and I am hopeful that there is a similar treat awaiting. I found 3 i funny and charming; there was variety and colour and characters like Viru Sahasrabuddhe and a fairly normal Rancho. Absolutely loved the Zoobi Doobi song sequence with the delightful song- dance and Aamir’s funny cameos as a newsreader, a pandit and the like. Here, PK seems just a wildly dressed clueless character. Though there could be a zoobi type song- dance sequence– a glimpse in the teaser.

Just watched the song clip again, fully this time. It made me smile — Sunjay’s scenes and dialogue plus Aamir being chased by group. The song too has interesting words and a good beat. Well, perhaps, the film just may work.I have rarely been optimistic about Aamir’s films as a result of promos. Yet finally it all comes together.I loved Talaash, was even ok with Dhoom 3 (along with Utkal, I am one of the few net commenters to have accepted the film). Loved the songs in both films. I think PK will have at least two memorable song sequences.
Interestingly Aamir has occasionally spoken about the commercial Indian film and it’s song- dance nature. He has talked about song and dance being an intrinsic part of Indian life and how we need not be ashamed of Hindi cinema’s musical identity, and how songs can be used to carry a story forward.

Average song which is no surprise because Raju Hirani’s films have never had good music but the video is great and I’m sure I’ll like the song during the movie. Aamir’s expressions might become a bit annoying during the film but it probably won’t be a big deal. The story seems very very interesting. Sanjay Dutt is looking great-the man’s been in jail for 1.5 years yet he has 2 movies coming out in the span of a month. The movie seems a little “wacky” unlike 3I and the Munna Bhai’s but I have no doubt that Raju Hirani can pull it off.

I am reminded by the reaction to 3 Idiots promos. Aamir’s bug eyes. It’s a Priyadarshan film. It’s a David Dhawan film. I’m disappointed and deflated. Totally uninspired comedy elements in this promo. Trying too hard..(nice one NYKavi!). It’s not a great promo (me). It’s surely OTT and Aamir as a coll student turns me off altogether. Not a great promo but the sheer number of comments and impassioned responses is enough to pretty much guarantee that this film won’t be skipped out on on the merit of an average publicity machine. When’s the last time there was this much talk over a Dhawan or a KI trailer? (Ha GF). Akshay Kumar’s acting in Garam Masala is the best acting done by an actor in this decade (cheers Sunil). The promos are turning me off this movie. Aamir does not do comedy well – the bug eyed look is ridiculous. He is too old for this role.
And that’s what we have in the 3 Idiots thread and I am not even half way down.
How we were all so wrong!

I agree that 3I predictions totally missed the target. But his bugeyes were not omnipresent like this, his physical attributes actually fit the role. Probably the same attributes fit the role of an alien (or simpleton retard or whatever) here. And I do trust Hirani/Aamir, surely they cannot have missed this cringing-bothersome look while filming. Just hope that they did not get carried away with whatever ‘message’ they wanted to deliver, totally ignoring the visual-acceptance of the character.

Firstly except for a Sush and among the newer lot Kangana, I feel the others are not bold enough to step into an actual surgery room. Fuller lips transformation is easy peasy for a Anushka or a Kat but the other enhancements are the real deal and its easier just changing pads to suit the needs of the character. Indian costumes sort of assist in these concealment.
On the other hand heroines like Madhuri never needed these supports and had so much going on with their faces….that’s why I will forever be indebted to her for a Aaj tum pe pyaar aaya hai from Dayavan and Dimple for Jab Jab Teri Surat Dekhon from Jaanbaaz for that transition from boy to manhood……

So, forget promoting on TV shows. Victor also mentioned since Dhoom3 has that kind of muscle, we could afford no publicity stance, it can’t be done with every movie.

God alone knows how many times I would have watched One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. I haven’t been watching too many contemporary Hindi films but Lagaan got me hooked completely. Jab We Met was such a seamless piece of story-telling.

Unlike other FTII graduates who might speak of Fellini and Antonioni as their inspiration, Hirani lists Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Guru Dutt and Pyaasa as his favourites. Sriram remembers that they got along because of their shared love for mainstream Hindi films. “At the time, in FTII it was almost a sin to love Hindi films. But we bonded on the films of Vijay Anand, Manmohan Desai, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Ramesh Sippy, Raj Kapoor and more,” he says. Those who know Hirani well feel his cinema reflects the kind of man he is himself: nice. “Someone who takes life as it comes, with a smile,” says filmmaker and long-time friend Rajesh Mapuskar. “He has this basic faith in human spirit. I can’t see things like that,” says filmmaker Sudhir Mishra. Nonetheless he enjoys Hirani’s “joyous vitality, the life-affirming stories”.

Aamir Khan: I don’t select films in order to break records
Last updated on: December 08, 2014 19:23 IST
‘I don’t think I will have a release in 2015.’
Aamir Khan talks business, and PK.
He has broken box office records and has set new benchmarks with his movies. Yet, Aamir Khan considers his part in PK the most challenging role of his 29-year-old career.
With just two weeks to go for its release, Aamir is on a promotion-overdrive. He chats with the media in Mumbai, and discusses the mystery surrounding the PK trailers, why the 100 crore club is an unfortunate trend, and his son Junaid joining the film industry. Sonil Dedhia/ Rediff.com listens in.
It was a rare sight to see you sharing the stage with Salman and Shah Rukh Khan in a special episode ofAap Ki Adalat.
I don’t think there is anything special about the three Khans sharing the same stage. We have often been together and I hope this is not the last time. We have been buddies for so many years.
Will we see the three of you in a film together?
Doing a film is a bigger responsibility than just hanging around. If there is something that all three of us like, then we will do it.
Is it true that you are playing an alien in PK?
It is one of the many rumours floating around. We have not answered that question. We would like you to discover what my character is when the film releases on December 19.
The suspense behind Talaash was revealed on the very first day of its release. Don’t you think not revealing much about PK is like taking the same risk?
I don’t think so. When I signed Talaash, I knew it would not bring in huge numbers because it is not such a film. If I had to work in films which will give me numbers only, I would have never picked a film like Talaash. When I read the script, I loved it and wanted to do it.
When we sat down to discuss the potential of Talaash, my judgment was that it would do a net box office of Rs 60-70 crore India-wide, and 40-45 crore overseas. We made the film appropriately within a limited budget. The film went on to make Rs 95 crore. I have no idea (about the suspense being revealed so soon) but it did 40 per cent more (business) than what I expected it to do. For me, it was a happy situation to be in. If a similar thing happens with PK, I would still be happy!
The nude poster of PK created a lot of buzz, but some people objected to it.
We have to be honest to our work and hope that when people see the film they will understand why I have gone nude.
I don’t think Raju (the film’s director Rajkumar Hirani), Abhijat (Joshi, writer), Vinod (Vidhu Vinod Chopra, producer) or I are the kind of people who would add a nude scene in a film to make it sensational. Nor would we come up with the poster just to market our film. The poster is an important moment in the film and when you see the film, you will connect to it. I wasn’t apprehensive about shooting for the poster. If you had asked me the same question a couple of years ago, I would have said no. I would have felt uncomfortable going nude. But when I read the script of PK, the nude scene seemed very natural to me.
Your character has a poker face expression throughout the film. Why?
I don’t really have a poker face; there are several expressions that you will see in the film. I don’t blink in the film and that was something that came up during one of the rehearsal shoots on camera. Vinod happened to drop in one day. I had just rehearsed one part and he saw it on the monitor. He told me, ‘Why don’t you try the same thing without blinking your eyes?’ I tried it and everyone loved it. So by and large, my character doesn’t blink in the film. If you see, I am wearing green lenses in the film which made it difficult not to blink. Physically, PK was probably the most difficult roles in my career.
Your character speaks Bhojpuri in the film. Whose suggestion was that? People may not connect to the film because of its language.
(Thinks hard) I thought that the character might some colour and so I suggested it to Raju (Rajkumar Hirani). If you notice, I speaks my lines in a phonetic way. I had a Bhopuri language expert Shanti Bhushan, who helped me speak my lines. I remember when we were doing Lagaan, a lot of people told us that the audience wouldn’t understand Awadhi. But we kept it at a level that people would understand. Similarly, we have kept that balance in PK by using a simpler version of Bhojpuri. When I was doing Rangeela, a lot of people said that your tapori language is such that people outside Mumbai won’t get it. But it clicked with everyone.
It’s not often that you have worked with the same director twice. Rajkumar Hirani seems to be an exception.
The biggest USP of the film is Raju Hirani. He is the number one director of the film industry right now and his track record shows that. Raju is the star of PK. His ability as a writer-director is the force behind the film. I can be replaced in the film but you cannot replace Raju. He is one of the major reasons I signed on to do the film.
Ghaijini was the first film to earn Rs 100 crore at the box office. How do you see this trend going forward?
It’s a very unfortunate trend. The moment people start thinking about numbers, it influences the kind of films that an actor will sign.
The moment I start choosing films which have a potential to do Rs 100 crore at the box office, my choice becomes limited. I don’t select films in order to break records. If I only look at numbers, I would not have done a film like Lagaan or Rang De Basanti. That was the fifth remake of Bhagat Singh. It makes no sense to tell that same story again. Or I would never have done Taare Zameen Par. It’s a film about a dyslexic child. What potential does it have in terms of box office numbers? My choice of films is dictated by my creative instincts. Numbers is the last thing on my mind when I’m listening to a story. A lot of actors inflate the box office figures of their films and pass it on in trade circles and as press releases.
It’s childish. For some reason, people in the film industry feel that by inflating the figures, they will convince people to watch the film.
You even get to buy editorial space in newspapers, and say how much business a film has made. It’s extremely unfortunate.
It’s meaningless because when you go home, you know how much business the film has done. Even the industry knows exactly how much each film has done. You can try and fool people but how many times will you fool them? Ultimately, you are just fooling yourself.
Your elder son Junaaid was an assistant director on PK. What was it like having your son on the set?
It was fun. And just because he was my son he didn’t get any special treatment on the set (laughs). He was one of the junior assistants and stayed with the unit. He ate with them, travelled with them.
Any plans to launch him as a director?
It depends on him. He is still learning the craft. When he feels he is ready to take the step, and if I feel the step that he is taking is the one I can back, we will surely come together.
What has been your son Azad’s reaction to the teasers of PK?
Azad loved whatever he has seen and he dances to all the songs (smiles).
A member of the Hindu Mahasabha recently said that actresses who do item songs should be called prostitutes. In the last episode of the third season of Satyamave Jayate, you spoke about the objectification of women and said that sometimes films are responsible for it. You criticised the lyrics of songs, but at the same time, PK has songs with lyrics like Tharki Chokro and Nanga Punga.
As an industry, we need to reflect on how we are portraying women. It is the need of the hour. Calling actors, who are doing item numbers, names, is very unfortunate. A prostitute is a human being; she has her own reasons and problems. We are no one to judge anyone’s profession. Tharki Chokro or Nanga Punga are not songs that come in the bracket of item songs. The lyrics by themselves would project bad things. But when you listen to the songs when watching the film, you will get their real meaning.
Have you signed any film after PK?
No. I am reading scripts but haven’t finalised anything yet. I don’t think I will have a release in 2015.
Is that because you want to concentrate on Satyamave Jayate?
No. don’t think we will come up with a new season of Satyamave Jayate next year.I have just finished the third season, and my team and I need to take a break. It’s emotionally very difficult for us to deal with the material and the research.

But besides the film stuff, there is some good non-film talk (
(obviously in reply to a question about recent Delhi cab rape) from 7.55 to 12 minutes or so, when Aamir spoke about the necessity for quick convictions. He mentioned how in the US a rapist is awarded as much as 120 years punishment, meaning life term.
Before this rape bit, from 4 minutes onwards, Aamir and VVC spoke about using Rentrack for computing exact box office figures for PK.

I’m afraid I’ll have to avoid looking at Amir most of the time. He’s so weird in the pictures and trailers. One hope is that perhaps in the film he’ll not be so bad.

(400 cr net domestic)
OR
Aamirs and hiranis reputation and enhanced standing—
EIther ways–
Tu jaiso bhi hai bhaaya re
Tane yaar humne banaya re
Achha hai jo kho gayi yaadein
Jhagda na takraar..
Arey na to kisi se lena-dena
Na koi sar pe udhaar
aamir and hirani stand on the CUSP OF HISTORY–
Sincerely hope this doesn’t become another ‘talaash’…
Seems aamir and hirani are set to deliver the best film of their careers ?

Excited to watch this aamir film PK
Have earmarked the first day or atleast first weekend
As I’ve been sensing as above–history maybe rewritten here …
Even ‘zoobi zoobi’ comes with an upgraded (& better) version
Tujhe tak tak tak takte rehna
Teri bak bak bak sunte rehna….
Kaam-kaaj sab bhool bhula ke
tere piche piche chalte rehna
ee to hai bhaste of time
Ps: loved the ‘ee’…& ‘bhaste’…
But importantly it’s the lingering melancholy & intrigue even in the most ‘light’ & comedic moments …
Hope this lives up to mŷ immense expectations —
One of my truly certified ‘spoofs’-PK…

Haven’t seen more promoted movie this year than PK. But I’m sure people on this site won’t agree. With the poster launch, promo launch, 9 city tour and there is song promo every 30 mins on any channel you watch. During this last week.. there is running ad at the bottom screen while the TV shows are running. Eventually Hiram’s and Aamir’s image and combination does gives it positive vibe and doesn’t make it negative. If it was Farah Khan or Karan Johar doing same promotion with same number of days and TV ads, they would call it over promotion without blinking!

was interesting to hear Raju mention in an interview that their first draft had the same idea as “Inception” and after it released they had to completely re-write pk all over again…
