Nice post criticizing PK

http://m.firstpost.com/bollywood/pks-error-attacking-sacred-valid-way-critique-religion-2028367.html

I don't want to read too much into the movie. It was an ok movie. I see that Hinduism gets the brunt of criticism but that is possibly because Hinduism happens to be the major religion. But I do agree with the article that the criticism is quite superficial and fails to appreciate genuine love and faith. For example, PK makes fun of rolling on the temple floor - but isn't it up to the practitioner to do what they want? I mean it might seem funny but it is an issue of faith and discipline - which is harder to discuss but easy to ridicule.

Anyway...
