Anakin W Apr 13, 2019 I may not agree with everything about all the religions but the questions he makes you ask are good. Wrong number is a good concept. Always ask questions and follow no man just on his word. Adorable love story. <3 See more

Luke R Feb 9, 2019 A great movie for humanity. Nowdays, people attract to prejudice and wrong religion. They pray wrong Gods that was nevet create. This movie must watch Hindu peoples. It proofs that Islam is True and Allah is right we all should pray Allah See more

Han S Feb 6, 2019 This film is a brave exposition of the conundrum between God and organised religion. The unique approach of couching such a sensitive subject behind a seemingly comedic premise of a visitor from another world, is much to be admired and unexpectedly refreshing. Aamir Khan gave a superb and moving portrayal of a hapless outer space visitor, who had an innate sense of truth and compassion. See more

Rey R Jan 22, 2019 It's very funny but it makes me cry every time I see it that's why I gave it 3.5/5

Theodore W Nov 16, 2018 PK is a fantastic film directed by Rajkumar Hirani and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a Bollywood film filled with rich substance. Firstly, Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma give an outstanding performance in this film. Aamir Khan plays the role of PK, an alien from a distance planet who's on a quest to find the remote control for his spaceship, so he can go back home. Anushka Sharma, who plays an ambitious reporter, Jaggu, befriends PK and helps him on his journey. Similar to the famous Bollywood love story Veer Zaara, PK promotes secularism, but takes it to a larger level. Like Veer Zaara the main love interest in PK is between a Pakistani boy, Sarfaraz, and Jaggu, a Hindustani. Kavita Daiya in her article "Violent Belongings" talks about how Veer Zaara focuses on people who identify as either Muslim or Hindu and manage to set aside their differences. PK does this on a larger scale. Through PK's quest on finding his remote we get a crash course of the various religions practiced in India. This is unique to PK because viewers are introduced to religions other than Islam, Hinduism and Sikhism which are classically portrayed in Bollywood. PK has all aspects of a Bollywood film, the music, the dance sequences, a heartfelt love story, cheesy humor but it goes the extra mile because teaches its viewers about religious tolerance in a respectful manner and promotes loving others no matter what their identity is, which is why this film is easily one of my favorites. If you like sci-fi, humor, meaningful messages and Aamir Khan, this film is for you. See more

Nov 16, 2018 PK is a highly enjoyable and complex film that features great performances by Amir Khan and Anushka Sharma. It manages to discuss complex political issues in a fun and entertaining way, while tying in sci-fi elements flawlessly. It's a great discussion of secularism as an inclusiveness of all religions and nationalities, and provides great insight into relations between India and Pakistan. While the film is comparable to the the 2004 hit Veer-Zaara due to its overarching message about relations between India and Pakistan, it differs from Veer-Zaara by providing an 'outsider's' perspective (in the character of PK, an alien), and is packed full of humor. It's a great film to look at as a continuation of Saba Naqvi Bhaumik's thesis in the article, "Politics of Indian War Films," as the film industry can be seen to be moving in a more secular and inclusive direction over the years. The article demonstrates that from Gadar, to Veer-Zaara, the atmosphere of film has moved from 'othering' Pakistanis and accentuating the divide between India, to discussing secularism in a truly moving way. Now, ten years after Veer-Zaara, PK shows audiences that secularism has increased as international tensions have decreased, and that the deeper issues in the attitudes Pakistan and India can be discussed in a comedic, enjoyable and still thought-provoking way. While Veer-Zaara was a plea for change, PK functions as a celebration of diversity and an encouragement for the continuation of positive change between India and Pakistan, and director Rajkumar Hirani has really done a fantastic job with the film as a whole. On a more personal note, I absolutely loved this film, and think that it really did something special with its combination of sci-fi and humor. It was really powerful, despite the fact that I am not an avid follower of Indian or Pakistani politics. PK was a fabulous character, and highly enjoyable to watch on screen, and the love story between the characters of Jaggu and Sarfaraz made the movie even more compelling to watch. I would highly recommend PK to anyone who wants to laugh a bit while celebrating diversity, true love, and the innocence of extraterrestrials. See more
