It’s one thing to go into a film with a general assumption
about whether it’ll be good or bad based on what you know about the film
beforehand. It’s quite another thing, however, when you go into a film without
any idea what to expect because, quite frankly, you don’t know thing one about
the film itself. Granted, this is far less a case for people who do the
sensible thing and choose what they see at the cinema, but for critics who have
to see and give an opinion on as many movies that come out as possible (or
idiots like me who have a compulsion to do a similar thing), there can be the
occasional blinder. The last time this happened for me personally, funnily
enough, was with Happy New Year, another Bollywood movie. This is another one of those occasions: This is PK.
