After Uttar Pradesh, the Bihar government today declared Aamir Khan-starrer PK ‘tax-free’ after senior JD (U) leader and former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar gave the film “10 out of 10”, saying more people should watch it.

“We have declared PK tax-free. Entertainment tax will not be imposed on those who watch it in theatres. It is a good movie and attacks superstitions and hypocrisy in the name of religion. Waiving taxes on it will allow more people to see it,” state Commercial Taxes Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav said.

Kumar had watched the film late last night at a multiplex in the state capital and showered praise. “How could anybody oppose such a nice movie? It is so beautifully made. It gives a simple message. It doesn’t attacks faith anywhere, but just hypocrisy. Only those pretenders who believe in hypocrisy and superstitions will attack it. I give 10 out of 10 to PK,” Kumar said while sharing his views on a social media site.
Incidentally, people affiliated to Hindu right wing organisations had staged sporadic protests at various places in Bihar too.
