PK is an exceptional movie. It has a story with a believable fairy tale premise that goes forward and becomes a philosophical one on God and the oneness of all religions with no sign of being preachy. It has humour, romance, affection, heart- warming moments, goose bump inducing scenes and a logic that you cannot fault. It has an idea going viral and the common man becoming an activist. In short a Rajkumar Hirani classic. And like the Munnabhai movies and 3 Idiots these go right into your DVD collection to be watched multiple times. He can put a point across gently and humorously and that is a rare gift indeed. PK is an alien from another planet whose remote device which can take him back home gets stolen the moment he arrives on Earth His efforts to find it take him on a journey where he makes friends, learns about God and the hypocrisy of religion and also fall in love with a TV reporter Jaggu who helps him in his quest. The start cast excels. Amir as PK sports a Bhojpuri accent and random clothes. He has ears and eyes that pop out and yet he manages to show emotion on that exaggerated face. Anoushka is bubbly yet vulnerable though her mouth look like a goldfish. But she is in step with Amir and that's what matters. Saurabh Shukla's Godman is superbly underplayed. Sushant Singh is cute; Boman is Boman and Parikshit Sahni as Jaggu's dad is sweet. Sanjay Dutt as the Rajasthani man who first befriends PK stands out. I would have loved to see more of him in the movie. I would have just wished for a bit more information on the planet that the alien comes from. We know they don't wear clothes there and mind read but apart from that we don't know much. Do they have families? are they as emotional? What do they eat? Some more information would have fleshed out the alien more but that is a minor quibble. The songs are melodious, the dances sweet and simple, the humour spot on and the message of the movie seeps into you gently yet so strongly that the audience was wildly clapping at all the right spots. A review for a good movie always runs the danger of being too gushy and mushy in it's praise. I'll cut the hyperbole. Just know it's a wonderful movie and that you have to see it. Must take kids.

Mixture of comedy and some lifetime lessons together constitute PK. A journey in which you will learn the life lessons and face the reality of our society in a different way. Amir's acting, Anushkha's cuteness and Shushant's innocence will win your heart. Thanks for making this film Mr. Hirani. At least somebody is there don't make movies just for money. Every dialogue, every scene was so perfect that you will a smile on your face all the time. Loved the simplicity of the movie. Beautiful locations, amazing songs and the funny dialogues adds spice to the movie. A must watch movie for all.

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 anyways, despite knowing the plot I still went to see the movie, that too First day first show. The moment I saw the plot becoming real within the first 10 minutes, I was skeptical whether I will like this movie. But to my surprise Aamir Khan blew me away with his incomparable acting skills and cuteness of the character. He will make you feel as if you are looking at a child who has been introduced in the world for the first time but has a consciousnesses. The main subject of the movie or so to say the "Strong Message", has been adapted by many movies before but PK stands far out from any of them. This movie will make you laugh but also make you cry. My year definitely ended with such a present from Rajkumar Hirani.

A film like PK can never be made again in Hindi Film Industry because of it's vast variety of content and emotions which directly grips the audience along with the characters. With PK being made, the scale of good cinema has risen further. Raju Hirani has proved that a movie with a strong content can be made with fun and comedy as well. All the characters have their own importance and every incident feels real as one can easily connect with the moments happening in the film. Direction and scripting is so good that you can not point out what mistakes are there. It might not be a perfect film but it is a much better film.

The expectations were not high ever like it has been for PK....That's the problem with PK.... Raju Hirani's Track Record is brilliant ,,, and thankfully will remain the same after PK at least until his next movie .. The Munnabhai Series was great .. Being comical with though provoking concept is something which is liked universally. With 3 idiot Hirani and Aamir Khan had made a masterpiece , a movie made with perfection without a single flaw. So whats beyond perfection ! Nothing . And that's where PK stands , behind perfection and behind 3 idiot. As i have always said that the hardest movies to review for me are of Aamir Khan's as he is my favorite and i expect a lot from him always. I will try to keep my emotions out of it. So the movie starts with a spaceship flying around the sky of earth and left Aamir(yes he is an Alien) somewhere in Rajasthan to do analysis on earth and there people and somehow the remote which is used to call back his accompanied aliens is lost by him. That's all about first 15 min of the movie. Cut to Belgium we have Anushka Sharma fallen in love with a Pakistani boy(Susant Singh Rajput) and somehow separated before they can get married and Anushka came back home. This Belgium sequence was the most uninteresting part of the movies although in between that the Char Kadam song was really fresh and sweet to watch. Rest of the movie shows how in the way of finding the lost remote PK(Named unintentionally by the human beings) with the help of TV reporter Jaggu (Anushka) learn about the earth , people here , their believes and get confused out of it. The first half deals mostly with introduction of PK , establishing Anushka's character and PK telling the back story what actually happened to him when he was left by his fellows (which also includes how PK learned Bhojpuri - watch out for that sequence).Up to interval the flow was nice , no melodrama , full comic elements(although the level of comedy was not high as it was in Munnabhai and 3 idiot). Its the 2nd half where film drags a little bit and pull it down from perfection. The problem is that the way Hirani has tackled with the concept of God vs Godmen was not unique. It was too similar to OMG starring Paresh Raawal and was more hard hitting in OMG as compared to PK. And also the climax was of the track concentrating on the love relationship of Anushka and Sushant instead of the religious belief and the questions movie has asked earlier. Don't think i have to say anything about Aamir's performance. He has mastered his acting capabilities with each and every film . To play an alien is not an easy work but he has killed it. Anushka looked too cute , a girl to whom anyone can easily fall in love with , what exactly happened with PK too. SaUraV Shukla could have done a better job as a Godmen. Boman , Sushnat and Sanjay dutt are in the movie as extended cameos . Music suits the movie as situation bases although i have liked it more if Dil Darbadar song has been in the movie in full length. The song Bhagwan by Sonu Nigam has been picturized with great emotions. PK is a nice movie to end the year with , only if Hirani didn't have made 3 idiot before PK , it would have looked much better. Can't say this one was the best of this year , for me QUEEN got that position , still its one of the best this year have given us. 8.1 / 10 . by ANuP APu KuMaR.

'PK' is latest offering from blockbuster duo of Aamir Khan and Rahkumar Hirani. They deliver first 200 cr film '3 Idiots' and this time expectations are for 300 cr. Let's see whether they manage to achieve that. Film has rather interetsing plot. Alien PK (Aamir Khan) lands in Rajasthan and he lost his connection with spaceship and so he tries to survive on earth on his own. But his mannerism and thirst for knowledge of this new planet result in questioning of basic premises of religions. Though this sounds similar to 'Oh My God!' but that was more entertaining and here the treatment is more serious. In middle of this journey he meets good friend Bhairao Singh (Sanjay Dutt), Jaggu (Anushka Sharma). Jaggu is a student from Belgium but her role is half baked though that looks deliberate. In the end how PK manages touch upon some relevant issues and leaves a mark form the climax of the film. Performance wise Aamir Khan is simply outstanding and his methodical acting in every frame is commendable. He never goes out of character and his emotional impact is superb in climax. Anushka Sharma again gets 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' kind of character which is catalyst but not a typical actress role. She manages to make a mark despite half baked role and presence of Aamir. Sushant Singh Rajput looks like a star and even in brief role he is too good. Boman Irani and Saurabh Shukla get very little to do and Sanjay Dutt is decent. Film has some real boring songs and all songs work as welcome break in the film. Editing is uneven and cinematography is decent. Background score is good. Story and screenplay are so tight that they manage to hold the film together throughout despite flaws. Dialogues are strictly average and at times Bhojpuri dialect looks out of the place. Art department and costume department are below par. Director Rajkumar Hirani again makes an entertaining social film where he raises few important points in right manner but this time impact is no where clsoe to his best work 'Lage Raho Munnabhai'. Film tries hard but then that should not be visible. Because it is releasing after 'Oh My God', the novelty goes away to some extent. Film will release today and will get 4000 screens which will be apt for such film. Film will do roaring business in multiplexes for sure but will single screen audience embrace this content remains the question. Still a big hit is on the card for sure but how big is the million dollar question! Go for this one for right medley of entertainment and message! Pluses: Aamir Khan excels once again with his methodical approach, Aushka Sharma looks fresh, Sushant Singh Rajput is scene stealer, Sanjay Dutt is average, Saurabh Shukla and Boman Irani remain underutilized, excellent screenplay Minuses: below par dialogues, boring music, uneven editing especially in 2nd half

2 things: Aamir Khan, Rajkumar Hirani. Actually, one needs nothing more than this to go and watch the movie. Two of the finest people in their craft when join hands, you can expect nothing short of a BLOCKBUSTER, in every sense of the word. Saw this movie first day, first show and might I add the occupancy of the theater was about 60% for a 10:00 am show. That speaks for itself about the enthusiasm that people had about the movie. The year 2014 has surely ended with a SMASH HIT. I was disappointed with Aamir after Dhoom 3 and I guess I am not alone but this movie makes up for everything, every darn thing. It is not Aamir's best performance but would surely count as one of his best. 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. This movie makes you THINK. PK caters to both the types of audiences, one who just want uninhibited CRAZINESS and just want to ENJOY their time while they watch a movie, and the other, who want the movie to make sense and make you think, they want to learn something from it. THIS MOVIE CATERS TO BOTH!! Sushant Singh Rajput was used adequately in the movie, some might feel his role was small but I don't think so. Sanjay Dutt does justice to his role too. Boman Irani had a small role, smaller than that of Sanjay Dutt's. Anushka Sharma was pretty okay. Nothing great or spectacular. Oh and, watch out for that SURPRISE at the end of the movie!! PLEASE GO AND WATCH, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

First half of the movie focuses on comedic aspect. I think the last time I heard such hearty laughs were at 3 idiots screening. Amir Khan's acting is brilliant as always. Whoever wrote this story had given it much thought on the basic idea as it was thought provoking and tries to shatter the root of evil in our religious society. 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. Thus the movie couldn't get too deep. It couldn't deliver to its full potential, but at any moment in the story I didn't feel bored. Songs are right on spot and creates a good mood. The movie also makes you realize how colorful, beautiful yet complex Indian society is. If you liked the movie Oh my god! then I am sure you would like this too. Worth a watch anyway.

Till yesterday, the benchmark for the best Hindi movie was 3 Idiots. But after watching PK, I would say that the benchmark should be changed. The same team that brought 3 Idiots has brought another magnificent movie. Everyone in the movie acted exceptionally well. The manner in which the social issues are depicted is very good. If we see the comedy aspects alone, 3 idiots is better. But if we see the social issues taken, PK is far better than the other movie. This is Aamir's best performance till date. Ranbir Kapoor comes in a comical guest role. Anushka Sharma, Sushant Singh Rajput and Saurabh Shukla are the other main characters.

Director Mr. Raj Kumar Hirani have different sensibilities, which he proved again. His style of depiction of a serious subject on a light note with humor toppings are again delicious. I love, respect and support this subject so there would be changes of being little positively biased. This is a very good extension of one of my favorite flick "Oh My God". That one was of single plot but PK is multi plotted. Story is just to support and explore the basic idea of film but it's interesting. Screenplay by Director himself and Abhijit Joshi is fresh, logical and different even being very close to "Oh My God". Dialogues by director and writer duo are perfect and logical. In a scene, where Amir Khan is emotionally broken then blast in the background enhances the intensity and carry forward the story ahead very smoothly. The use of old song in a very light note or serious note is also interesting especially "Pardesi Pardesi Jana Nahi" in beginning and "Aasman Mein Hai Khuda Aur Zameein par Hum" in between the film, is good tribute and use of songs. Now this type of film must have been made to rebel the business of fear. We should change our lifestyle by not being God fearing but becoming God loving. Hope such type of films will make changes even a little. Love is a side track but it's very good and emotional with a message too. I personally feel that after a long gap this movie has repeat value. Performance wise Hats off to Amir Khan. He is absolute perfect and first time I witnessed him, doing fantastic in emotional scenes too. He needs extra praising for always choosing something different subject with a message too. Anushka Sharma is fantastic. Her look is different and expressions are very real. Sanjay Dutt is endearing. Shaurav Shukla and Parikshat Sahni are very good. Sushant Singh Rajput is fine. Boman Irani is impressive. Music is melodious, lyrics are perfect. Both gel with the mood and subject of the film very well.
