Essence of the original is totally lost.
In Pink, the emphasis was on the three damsels in distress. There was enough room to showcase their emotions and mental trauma they experienced post that incident. It connected automatically with the audience.
Vakeel Saab was all show and no go. Emphasis was totally on PK as lead character, the three girls took backseat.
The recurring brouhaha of PK’s aide (that aged person) was nauseating.
The court scene was the only saving grace (though it stands no where compared to Pink).
Fans gotta come out of the aura of Khushi’s PK. He is no more that same youngster.
PK speaks Telangana dialect in the first half of the movie, as the moves on to second half i.e., court scenes, PK’s dialect is diluted and eventually lost.
PS : A request to Telugu script writers. Please write scripts suitable to their age and grace. Box office is not the only measuring rod.
PPS : Prakash Raj’s performance is much laudable.
