PK

Plot synopsis:
A humanoid alien (Aamir khan) lands on Earth naked on a research mission in Rajasthan, but is stranded when the remote control of his spaceship is stolen. He manages to get the thief's cassette recorder, a Panasonic RQ-565D. On the same day in Bruges, Jaggu (Anushka Sharma) meets Sarfaraz (Sushant Singh Rajput) and falls in love with him. Jaggu's father (Parikshit Sahni) objects to their relationship because Sarfaraz is a Pakistani Muslim, while Jaggu is a Hindu. He consults godman Tapasvi Maharaj (Saurabh Shukla) who predicts that Sarfaraz will betray Jaggu. Determined to prove them wrong, Jaggu proposes to Sarfaraz, who accepts. She is heartbroken at the wedding chapel when she receives a letter calling off the marriage due to their cultural differences.
Jaggu returns to India and becomes a TV reporter. She meets the alien and is intrigued to see him distribute leaflets about the "missing" Gods. She saves him when he attempts to take money from a collection box, earning his trust.
The alien tells her that he is a research scientist from another planet. His people know nothing about dressing, religion or verbal communication. They transfer ideas by holding hands. The alien learned to fit in among humans by wearing clothes and using money stolen from "dancing cars".
In the flashback, after being accidentally hit by a truck, the alien is befriended by bandmaster Bhairon Singh (Sanjay Dutt), who takes him along with his troop. The alien attempts to learn to communicate by grabbing peoples' hands but people chase him away, believing him to be a pervert. Bhairon takes him to a brothel, where the alien holds a prostitute's (Reema Debnath) hand for six hours and thus learns the Bhojpuri language.
Bhairon has a conversation with the alien, and suggests that the thief may be in Delhi. The alien leaves for Delhi. Due to his strange behavior, the people assume he is drunk and call him "PK" (pee-kay, Hindi for "drunk"). People tell him that only "God" can help him find his remote. PK sincerely practices every Indian religion attempting to find "God", to no avail. He later discovers that Tapasvi has his remote, who claims it was a gift from God, and refuses to return the remote. Jaggu promises PK that she will recover his remote and he can go back home.
PK conjectures that Tapasvi and other godmen must be dialling a "wrong number" to communicate with God, and are therefore advising the public to engage in meaningless rituals. Jaggu encourages the public to expose fraudulent godmen, by sending their videos to her news channel. This "wrong number" campaign turns into a popular mass-movement, to the dismay of Tapasvi. Meanwhile, Bhairon finds the thief and contacts PK, telling him that he sold his remote control to Tapasvi, after which PK realises that Tapasvi was actually a fraud all along and that it wasn't a "wrong number". Bhairon then informs him that they will come to Delhi, but both die in a terrorist attack. The terrorist attack is later declared by Tapasvi's group to be stated as protecting their Gods.
Tapasvi decides to confront PK on-air. Tapasvi asks PK what the "right number" is. PK says that "God that created us all" is the only concept people should believe in, and that the other "duplicate Gods" are created by man. Tapasvi argues, saying that PK is trying to take people away from their Gods and that they will not stand for their Gods being taken away from them either. He claims he has a direct connection to God and refers to his prediction of Sarfaraz's betrayal to try to prove that Muslims are liars, but PK disagrees. PK realises that Sarfaraz did not write the letter. The letter was not for Jaggu. She contacts the Pakistani Embassy in Belgium where Sarfaraz worked part-time. The embassy tells her that Sarfaraz still loves her, and transfers the line to Sarfaraz, who is now living in Lahore. Jaggu and Sarfaraz reconnect, and Tapasvi is forced to return PK's remote, while also being exposed to the whole of India that he had planned to break Jaggu and Sarfaraz through his "predictions".
Meanwhile, PK has fallen in love with Jaggu, but refrains from telling her because she loves Sarfaraz. Having filled multiple audio tapes with her voice alone, he takes two suitcases full of tapes and extra batteries when leaving for home. After his departure, Jaggu publishes a book about him.
One year later, PK returns to Earth on a new research mission on human nature along with several other aliens (including one played by Ranbir Kapoor)

Review:
What makes it so bloody brilliant is the story which takes some pretty serious subject matters and portrays them to the audience in a way that the audience can only laugh, and when in the serious scenes, they do not laugh, what they do is reflect over what happened and THINK and the obvious BRILLIANT direction by Rajkumar Hirani.
I don't know whether most of the people actually knew the plot, but surprisingly I did, somehow some brilliant guy about an year ago already guessed or leaked the plot of the movie and I SERIOUSLY THINK it must be some spot boy jerk.
But the upper layers of the story were like any other Indian movie, with same emotional drama in awkward places, a love story, an evil guy who gets ridiculed, etc.
Not only Aamir, but Anushka Sharma and Sanjay Dutt did a very good job of their character which I think no one could have done.
Raju Hirani has proved that a movie with a strong content can be made with fun and comedy as well.
If you're looking for a rare experience of emotion packed message n quality entertainment then #PK won't disappoint you.Enjoy Its truly your best performance till date!!!
PK is Something more than the pure Entertainment.I still wanted to clap after the movie was over because it was that good.I went into watch PK with high expectation...and i got more than i bargained for.This film is simply the best by Rajkumar Hirani YET.All of his other movies are too worth watching a billion times.All of Rajkumar Hirani typical Mix is present in this movie: Entertainment - check Sentiments - check Social Message- check Epiphany - checkI was not much religious to begin with so I sure Enjoyed the movie.Everyone should watch this movie and should have "Epiphany"The kinda funny thing(Ironically too) is the protest against this movieAnyway I think everyone should watch this movie..........
Modest, Enlightening, Emotional, Hilarious and out and out entertaining, it's a plot with some serious elements that truly has a soft presentation, if any movies makes you feel something, put your brain to think on some matter or make way to evoke new ideas rather than just entertain then such movie truly create an impact.''PK'' is one such kind of movie that has all mixed elements that is neatly bought together, the modest portrayal of the character ''pk'' and the supportive role of the ''Jaggu'' and the Bhairao Singh, almost every character that appears in the movie has very intense place in the plot that makes us to feel good, it reveals the view through the modest eyes that is in the process of adjusting in the purely new system of civilization, those modest viewpoint and the child like mind truly reminds us about our lost modesty and the logical way of thinking.To speak about technical aspects, it's all about the performance, when its Aamir in the show then there must be something special and yes ''PK'' has those speciality coming out with brilliant acting by the Mr. Perfectionist, and also Anushka, who had neatly presented her role up to the mark, Sunjay Dutt's cameo and the performance of Sushant along with Saurabh Shukla and Boman Irani are appreciable, all those comic characters succeeds in creating the feel good impact to the viewer, though it bit resembles Umesh Shukla's OMG it has its own way to deal with the concept, the humour is another +point of the movie, Raju Hirani's work both as the director and the editor is fine and neat, in some instant point though it seems like losing the hold on the story soon it get into the track, music are great and synch properly with the flow, overall again the 3 idiots team creates the magic along with its heart touching and enlightening concept..
I did not feel offended by any of the things related to god.Everyone has a perspective of looking at a religion there is nothing right or wrong in that.My main concern was the movie as a whole.It felt as if this movie was made to give a Tribute to Aamir Khan.For example Boman Irani is such a great actor but he was only like a prop in the film.
There was nothing in the movie which touched by heart as a whole unlike other films of Rajkumar Hirani which kept me thinking about it even after going out of the movie theater.There were some scenes which were irritating and not even funny and were just put to show the whole world of why Aamir khan is such a great actor.The songs were like children's poem.I just want to tell everyone that don't blindly appreciate whatever he does,he is not always right and perfect.If this movie was made with a new comer it surely would have bombed at the box office.The movie didn't have a particular story to keep you edged at the seats,things just kept happening with a few laughs here and there.There are so much better movies made which don't get that appreciation because of the small star cast and low marketing..
Aamir has given performance of his life.Best film of Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan's career.
There's something that you usually experience after watching an Aamir Khan Film - You always have a smile on your face after you have experienced it.
The innocence and cuteness of both Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma will make you feel very good.
The song 'Love is a Waste of Time' has been continuously humming in my mind since I've come out of the theater.So Guys, go to the theaters nearby and experience the movie.
Coming to the movie So Aamir has done very well to his role, he will make you laugh and make you cry, a very childish and innocent guy who is trapped in the Earth and cannot go home.
After seeing the movie it seemed to me a combo of Oh My God. The plot started with a Alien lost his device to making a statement at the end that Muslims don't cheat people.
Few examples about the lost plot.......People enjoying PK possibly could also enjoy the movies like Joker or Tees Mar khan.No originality's in humor (Filled with vulgarity), instead audience laughs on realizing the value of this movie.Amir Khan, please stop making nonsense copies of a far better scripted movies like (OMG), as you did with Dhoom-3 (copied from The Prestige and Now You See Me).The fact that Sushant Singh calls Pakistan Embassy in Belgium everyday, it self makes it a totally lost plot.
As a lover for good cinema I am in my strong opinion that this film has no outstanding acting, direction or story which will allow it to be the top film (250) of all time.
But the entire plot derailed in second half when the movie lost its humor and was more or less illogical and focused mainly on defending Muslims and asking stupid questions like "Is religion is written on the body of a person?".
It deserves 0 stars but I am forced to give 1 star.This movie also reminds me of 3 idiots in the sense that the first half was excellent while the second half was filled with utter nonsense like making delivery of pregnant woman at home using batteries and TV instructions!
Amir Khan looks like he is losing the grip over his movies.
Nice Movie.Movie communicates a nice message of Unity in society, that is filled with superstitious traditions, deceptive & discriminated with orthodox beliefs that divide all human being in the name of religion.Focus on Religious equality, which means treating all religions the same, whether Christians, Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists Muslims, Jews etc as well as all denominations within each of them.The inevitable consequence of orthodox beliefs & discrimination in the name of religion leads to misconception about people...All religions are divinely inspired, but they are imperfect because they are products of the human mind and taught by human beings based on their moral ethics.We should think towards eliminating all the atrocities that happen in the name of religion and caste in this society & make everyone realize that we are one and the same and bring a sense of brotherhood.
I always considered Amir as best of 3 khans & he did give good movies like Sarforosh or 3 idiots.
To his credit, its probably hard to act good when you are asked to keep your eyes wide open like a Tarsier throughout the film.
Best film of Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan's career.This film is once in a lifetime experience.
With PK, I can only say that it's one good time watch.Some people are saying that PK is Aamir's best performance!
Expectations were high after "3 idiots" from Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan...And they delivered..If you were thinking, how could the pair of Hirani and Joshi possibly better their effort after the superb script of "3 idiots", you will get your answer after watching "pk".Through unique story, brilliant acting and superb screenplay, the movie leaves us with much to ponder, especially the issue of stereotypes which we implant in our minds towards certain matters and not give them a second thought.
When we hear Aamir Khan working on a movie from Rajkumar Hirani, we expect something original, something unique.
I want my money back for sure.Indian Audience should really stop making such foolish movies hit, there are many meaningful cinemas coming in theatre, go watch them.
A movie expected to be a super hit much before its release because of Aamir Khan's presence and Raju Hirani's direction.PK, to me, doesn't fall in a good movie category.
The plot is kind of stupid and immediately leads the viewer to feeling as to what a wrong decision to watch the movie.The social message given by PK has recently been conveyed by OMG Oh My God movie in a much better fashion.Audiences are just appreciating the movie for Aamir's presence and acting.
If it takes Rajkumar Hirani 5 years after 3 Idiots to make a movie, I'll wait for 2019 to watch his next!.
Best Bollywood movie made after 3 Idiots Movie coincidently both starring Aamir Khan and both directed by Raj Kumar Hirani...
There was absolutely no need for few scenes like dancing cars which was shown multiple times in the movie.
Honestly, I had more expectations from Aamir - Hirani movie so that is the reason I would not give it a 8 star.
Aamir - Hirani please make an innocent movie next time like you used to do (like Three Idiots) Good luck!.
And that last scene where PK and that guru argue about God and Anushka goes on to call her long lost love around the world on national television, the film deviates from its point and that kind of ending is just unacceptable.
Just watched The most awaited film of the year with my friends and its been a great day for me.About the movie, the more story goes deeper and deeper, i found a plot similar like "oh my god".Now the difference is sir Paresh Rawal doing all the things because he know all this god business,and Sir amir Khan as "pk" here doing similar things without knowing what he is doing.Same plot,but placed in a different way.Each and every one in this movie looked amazing.and no doubt Amir Khan proved or lets rip that word "Proved" for him because he don't have to prove anything again,we know he is the best and done a great job,and Anushka- Well done.Good Movie but you know those people who didn't see the omg yet,they are going to find this movie extraordinary,but for me i didn't find it in that way because it's just 2 years ago when i saw the same kinda movie..
The superstitions found in others will not let the people to live, especially ladies, but in ours, it leads a way to life, the hopes that it gives, could not be called as superstitions.Being an Indian, first learn to respect Indian culture.Only in India cows are considered as God. Is it not great?, but you have shown it as a foolish thing,...
Worst Raju Hirani / Amir Khan Movie Ever.
Full Bakwas.Recap of OMG / reused ideas.Poor acting or i should say over acting.Poor Direction.Poor Storyline and screenplay.Very Predictable.Intermission / 2nd half is very boring and annoying + predictable.Annoying and over used feel good background music.3 idiot's wining formula used again, but not working anymore.This movie is like OMG V2, completely mocking religions at the same time embarrassing it.
Above all you got a message like Amir Khan's movie 'wrong number' which means 'Raise your voice against all wrong steps are taken by the system'..
However this is played in a very funny and satirical manner and Aamir's superb acting promises never a dull moment in the movie.
**** SPOILER ALERT below ***** The beginning and end of the movie felt like ET, however I was a bit disappointed - only for the first 5 minutes though - that they could not come up with a more non human looking representation of ET.
With the kind of perfectionist Aamir is, you will not come home watching an Aamir Khan movie, rather you would be back home after meeting PK.Rajkumar Hirani is another shining star of the movie.
One of Aamir Khan's finest performance and undoubtedly the best movie of 2014.
I really appreciate Aamir Khan, Rajkumar Hirani for their efforts in the PK movie.
I just want Aamir khan to act in Raju Hirani movies.My rating - "An exceptional masterpiece".
This is surely the best bollywood movie i have ever watched.
A perfect blend of comedy drama and emotions ,great acting by the entire cast.The presentation of a story like this is not something a lot of directors can do.
Go and Watch Bollywood's Best Movie of the Year.
Let's talk about the Movie .The movie takes a bit time to start but once Aamir Khan's character is introduced , it just a matter of time that forget that 2 and half hours of life is gone.
This is the best of the best movie.Amazing direction,screenplay,songs chemistry everything.I Can't tell u about movie ,go watch and enjoy with your family.This is a masterpiece GOD PROMISE.Subject is little old but the way of story told is amazing.
Aamir does his job with emotions from heart.In this movie their is several original jokes on which you can't control your laugh.Also last seen is so hilarious.So you leave theater with huge smile on your face.
Quality entertainment, yes you have it.Well enough of chit chat, The movie: As it is expected, Amir steals the show, at the end, you are supposed to have sympathy with PK what I really felt, there was not much but supportive role from Anushka what she gave, the script somehow tries not to involve into any trouble somewhere feels not to involve too much, but it relieves the intellectual that they see what they expected to see.
Rajkumar Hirani, after 5 years down the line with 3 idiots, comes with a religious satire from which our country and country people are suffering.Nice script, good direction and all well-fitted characters in the film.
"Not the best work of Rajkumar hirani, but extremely impressive and worth watching" The film scores very well in comedy and the way Aamir khan has portrayed the character P.K (specially Bhojpuri dialect) ....
Aamir Khan obviously delivers one of the best all time performances and Anushka sharma , Saurabh Shukla, Sanjay Dutt and all others just add to it.Cons: The film doesn't have much heavy weight dialogues which may become memorable and iconic and at some parts, it appears to repeat Oh My God..
PK is the best movie Hindi movie I've ever seen!Amazing performance by Aamir Khan!So flawless.Definitely a must watch!
If bollywood movies are to be called good, the only factor is Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan.
I am not usually a big fan of Indian movies, but Amir Khan can do and have done better than this...Maybe all these religious problems in the film makes this movie work if you are Indian, but this "wrong number" crap that the movies keeps repeating just seems like such a juvenile idea.
This alien learnt lying and cheating in his short stint, these humans have 5000 years of recorded history to learn non-sense from.Yes the masses won't understand a Garam Hawa, or Satyakam (a masterpiece that deserves much more praise than it got), but do we have to be dished out this simple straight good-bad people talk in the name of 'best movie' of the year..
The director of the movie is Rajkumar Hirani, so had to watch it!
so far will be watching again on Christmas and new year.Aamir Khan has delivered his career best performance in PK he'll make u laugh,cry,amuse,provoke..all at the same time!!
Make a movie like Oh My God where every religion is involved and conveys a better meaning rather than telling your religion is fake.
A movie expected to be a super hit much before its release because of Aamir Khan's presence and Raju Hirani's direction.
PK is by far one of the best Bollywood films I have watched in a very long time.
I loved this film for Aamir's acting and the concepts it experimented with.
Rajkumar Hirani is one of the best directors and he delivered the message in a very unique artistic way that every Indian will love to watch this.
Aamir Khan), you are continuously kept attached.Finally, I would say it's a 'Good Movie' definitely a must watch with Family – 4 out of 5..
PK is a not a good movie but not the standard of Rajkumar Hirani.
God bless the marketing team and Aamir khan(he definitely is a good actor who has matured with time) for their excellent job.This movie is a pure satire on blind religious belief emerged as a result of fear.
