pk and other movies

My Dear Son,

You slept when we went to see GI Joe, Frozen, both the Hobbit movies, and the long list continues. There is somthing about a darkened cinema and very loud Dolby speakers that lulls you to sleep gently. I ried it at home and it didn't work. Only during Dhoom 3 you were partly awake and insisted very loudly that you needed to go and do potty, making me miss the last part entirely.
Anyways we went to see PK and to my surprise (do i keep repeating that phrase? i wonder why), you saw the entire movie spellbound. We were happy. The torture started next day. When you insisted you wanted to see the movie again. You made us play the songs on youtube, made us copy the steps, danced to it yourself ad hummed the songs the entire day. Then you started singing, I don't know why but loudly. Even the abusive ones. Like me you have the talent to replace the lyrics as you seem fit. But not the abusive one. That you sing word y word to my dismay. So i drafted a letter to the PK crew in anguish and posted it on their fb page. here's it

To Mr Amir Khan, Mr Hirani, Mr Shantanu Moitra, Mr Swaroop Khan or whoever may it concern,


As a family, we never miss any of your movies Mr Hirani. By we, I mean to include my soon-to-be 4 year old son. He loves all the songs of your latest movie PK. He starts listening to them at 6 am when he wakes up. All of them. He can even sing all these songs. Word by word.  Even tharki chokra. I tried to tell him he is hearing it wrong and its actually firki chokra. For a while he believed me. Imagine my surprise today when he woke me up with haraami, kamina and some other choice words. I know its trendy to use abusive language in songs these days but we want to continue going to your movies as a family. A humble request. Please no more dirty lyrics. It does not suit you.
