It has all chances to emerge as the first film to cross the Rs. It will easily prove to be one of the biggest Bollywood blockbusters, probably, the biggest also. On the whole, PK is an outstanding entertainer with a strong message relevant to all human beings. Ratings :– Review By: Komal Nahta Site:Zee ETC Bollywood Business Including a humdinger of a last scene.Make one more, Mr Hirani, make a sequel and take us to the planet of the naked. PK is no satire - it’s a bit too toothless for that - but it is a rollicking mainstream entertainer with ambition to evoke some introspection, one with compelling moments and some genuine surprises. Ratings :4/5 Review By: Raja Sen Site:Rediff Appreciate its truths – which aren’t so alien after all. Its amusing insights and bold message make PK hit home. PK features brave scenes – money extracted at temples, coconuts offered in confusion at a church, god-men doling out tortuous advice – and strong lines, including a Muslim girl bravely asserting, “Itna chota nahin ho sakta hamara khuda, ki use hamare school jaane pe aitraaz ho.” Capturing faith whipped into hate, PK’s sterling message, directed sensitively, stands out. Ratings :4/5 Review By: Srijana Mitra Das Site:Times Of India (TOI) I’m going with three-and-a-half out of five for PK the director’s best since Lage Raho Munnabhai. Packed with sharp dialogue and genuinely funny moments that offset the lack of subtlety, it is easily one of the year’s better films. PK sticks faithfully to Hirani’s well-oiled formula, and yet there is no question that it’s a courageous film.

and Lage Raho Munnabhai, which tackled corruption and 3 Idiots, about India’s mad rush of college competition. Rajkumar Hirani holds a unique place in the pantheon of mainstream Indian filmmakers, with a nearly unerring gift for capturing the zeitgeist in films such as Munnabhai M.B.B.S. Khan’s touching and at times hilarious performance captures the otherworldly oddness of PK.

And the familiar face of Mahatma Gandhi is the source of another pointed gag.Ī wealth of top actors beautifully fill out PK’s key roles, including Anushka Sharma as a plucky TV journalist bent on helping PK get home and Sushant Singh Rajput as a young Muslim man she falls in love with against her family’s wishes Saurabh Shukla as a wealthy Hindu mega-swami and most memorably, Munnabhai star Sanjay Dutt as a ruffian wedding band musician. How he learns language, an earthy Bhojpuri dialect from an unlikely source, is another opportunity for some risqué humor. Writer-director Hirani and co-writer Abhijat Joshi stud their scenes with rich comic details: PK learns early on that when he needs something to wear, he can purloin the cast-off clothes of illicit lovers in parked cars, and a running gag finds him in their successively incongruous and inappropriate outfits. Read more Disney-UTV Unveils Bollywood Slate for 2014 In one moving montage, PK joins crowds of nearly every major faith in India, from Jainism to Christianity, Sikhism, Hinduism and Islam (only Buddhists get a pass, it seems). When PK’s one chance to return home is sabotaged, he is forced to undertake an odyssey that will direct him through the minefield of human relationships - and especially through the inexplicable rituals of religion. That mystery is dispelled in the first scene, when a glowing spaceship deposits him in the middle of the Rajasthani desert as part of his alien race’s research project.Įarthlings, of course, have no idea what to make of him, and quickly dub him PK (“pee kay” means “after drinking,” or “tipsy”). The film has been kept tightly under wraps in India, with viewers wondering if the titular character - bug-eyed and goofy, with prosthetically enhanced ears - was autistic, otherworldly or even God himself. Read more ‘PK’ to Get Broad Worldwide Release This eagerly awaited Khan vehicle is guaranteed brisk business in the week before Christmas, and even if PK doesn’t have quite the deep emotional impact of Hirani’s other message films, distributor Disney India’s decision to release the film on a record 4,844 screens worldwide assures robust returns. The film deftly pokes fun at the foibles of earthlings - especially their warring religions - with warmth and compassion, and shines a light on the contradictions of India’s strict but unwritten social rules. An inquisitive space alien ( Aamir Khan ) lands on Earth dressed only in his birthday suit, and shakes up society in Rajkumar Hirani’s pleasantly subversive PK.
