#13- Aamir Khan's PK: Why This Film Changed Everything | Bollywood - Bollywood Films Uncovered

Speaking of the multiverse, Speaking of.

The Bollywood verse or Bolly verse?

Yes, I'm determined to make it a thing.

OK, humor me, will ya? So, Speaking of Marvel.

'S superheroes. Have.

You. Ever noticed Amy here?

I guess I got ahead of myself. Excited.

To get into it, what else is new?

So have you ever noticed with? Superheroes.

It's. Never who?

You would expect, right? Who becomes the one or the one

on a team? To save us.

All with. Superheroes or superhero?

Teams. It's always.

Someone we wouldn't expect. A little bit.

Different, right? Definitely unique.

Someone we would. See as special who has.

Definitely been misunderstood and misinterpreted.

By those. Around them their.

Whole lives. Even less traditional.

Superheroes without. The same types.

Of. Showing capes.

Like a Harry Potter, right they are.

Sometimes. I mean, they're actually usually

outcasts in the beginning. As they start life.

Different. I mean, because they're supposed

to be different. It takes something different.

To save all of us. Something unheard.

Of. Not expected, not imagined.

Weird to. Conquer the strongest.

Forces or. Phenomena on Earth who make the

mistake of being or choosing dark and darkness, destruction,

evil, a light, a weird light. They hide or.

One hides because, well, you want to fit in more than

anything you may. Be teased for what?

Makes you unique, tormented even for not being ordinary, extra

extraordinary, extraordinary, exceptional.

If you take the root of the word exceptional.

Latin. It literally means taken out

from the norm, not normal. Weird.

If you. Zoom out on all of us now and

past as humans. We love.

Different, I know, I. Just love to look for.

An ice cream flavor? Never.

Before heard of. If you truly zoom out and look

around in our cultures. And societies.

Humanity as a whole. In the.

Past and now everyone, for the most part, we.

Look up to. Is different from the rest of us

in some way one-of-a-kind. Those.

We admire the most or hold in such high esteem are not the

norm fascinate us. We try to study.

And learn from their unique understanding.

Or perspective. We imitate hey, even many people

we find most. Beautiful.

In the world as a. Society real.

Humans, not AI generated yet anyways.

Are beautiful. In unique ways that stand.

Out a. Difference.

A light. Maybe drastic, maybe blinding,

annoying even standing out in a crowd like the.

Childhood story. And film, well, many films have

been made that we. See every year.

Around this time here. Rudolph.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. As.

The song also goes Saved Christmas a reindeer.

A character whose. Difference made his.

Early life difficult. Painful.

Whose bright light? His nose made him a target early

on, as we see with so many. Superheroes early.

On everyone was wrong about him and what was.

Criticized. Was needed more than anything,

huh? After all, now, as one of

Santa's flying reindeer. Yes, you heard me right as one

of Santa's flying reindeer mostly staying in the North Pole

with Santa and. All of.

The magical Alves stay with me. He wasn't from outer space and a

certain someone from outer. Space.

May not. Have as a bright light.

A nose, bright and shining, leading the way during a

snowstorm to get presents. To every child.

Waiting and believing in magical Santa to come and.

Deliver gifts. To them, in goodwill and

generosity, this someone had a light.

In a way it's shown. It was bright.

It glowed. And I.

Bet he wished it was his actual nose or a part of his body like

Rudolph. The Red nosed Reindeer.

Because poor guy. Poor.

Alien. Got that?

Bright light stolen. Let's talk.

Amir Han, I mean PK. Let's talk PK.

PK and Rudolph my kind of. Peeps PK.

Looks small. Socially powerless.

And naive. Yet he.

Stands up. To a powerful figure.

Claiming to represent an even more powerful entity on national

television and changes how millions of viewers think, he

shows that moral clarity, empathy and simple, honest

questions can be more powerful than institutional status.

Or loud. Authority and Rudolph.

Is literally the. Smallest, youngest, wrong

reindeer. The last one anyone would bet on

for leadership. I mean they won't let him even

play with them when the storm comes.

The entire grown up world depends on his light turning.

The tiniest, most mocked. Creature.

Into the quiet leader who? Carries everyone.

Through danger PK moves. Through spaces of grief, loss.

And communal tension, but his presence.

Keeps. Creating small.

Pockets of. Warmth, friendships, truth

telling and reconciliation between people.

Who were divided His. Childlike questions about wrong

numbers. To God are a.

Way of shining light into the darkness of.

Fear. Guilt.

And blind obedience so people can see a gentler path.

Rudolph's nose. Literal.

Light in literal darkness. But.

It also symbolizes. Hope for.

Everyone who has been told they don't belong.

The elf who wanted to be a dentist.

The Misfit toys. Who?

Feel discarded and nobody wants. They're told they're useless.

Broken when? Rudolf Guides.

The sleigh and Santa. Goes to the.

Island of Misfit. Toys the story.

Becomes about bringing light and belonging to those corners of

the. World.

That were forgotten PK and. Rudolf are both outsiders.

Who never fully learn to hate. The people.

Who hurt them? Which is crucial to their.

Impact. I would say PK is mocked, beaten

and manipulated. Yet keeps.

Asking honest questions instead of becoming better.

Rudolph is. Bullied and excluded.

But still. Returns to.

Help. Save Christmas and speak.

Up for. The misfit.

Toys. Each of them has a mark of

difference that cannot be hidden without doing damage to their

identity. P KS Alienness.

His direct. Questions.

Odd clothing and literal understanding of faith sets him

apart from every religious and. Cultural Group.

Rudolph's glowing nose is framed as.

A defect. A.

Defect that his father tries to cover.

With the mud or a fake nose trying to.

Suppress their. Uniqueness only increases shame

and confusion, whereas accepting it unlocks.

Their purpose Both. Experience ridicule and

exclusion, then become indispensable when a.

Crisis reveals the value of their.

Difference. What looks like a defect or?

Weakness can become exactly the. Light.

People need when things are darkest.

And now, my friend, I want you to give me your hands.

Yes. Your hands.

Here. Give me your hands now.

Let me hold your hands. Let me share what is inside my

heart and inside my mind with you.

Hold my hands, close your eyes. Let the.

Download happen, it won't take six hours.

So you can understand the meaning behind my language now,

behind my words. Ready.

OK, here it goes my friend. I think it is important if you

are doing your best, truly working on yourself, learning,

growing, really trying, being fair, facing what needs to be.

Faced. Improving.

Staying true. To yourself.

And what you know to be good in this world.

And you? Feel that?

You are not seen, not appreciated, not understood or

valued. I think it is important to

remember I'm not done. Keep your hands in mind now.

I think it is important to remember that sometimes it is

not. What?

Is being looked at so much as who?

Is looking. Maybe the issue isn't your

value, but in the ability of. Others.

Around you. To.

Recognize value. It's certainly possible.

Oh yes. Because.

As Am Kapoor from Am Shanti Am would say, maybe it is not yet

the end. As was the case with.

PK and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer early on and as is the

case with many. Superheroes who are.

First mocked and scorned as more.

Of weirdos. Than.

Superheroes early. On in their journey or maybe

these people who do not see. The value of you.

What makes? You so special so.

Unique right in front of their. Face just.

Have the wrong number.
