PK

It has become a trend of sorts now that the year ends with a major release by none other than Aamir Khan in the month of December. After the release of DHOOM 3, as we gear up for the Christmas holidays, Aamir Khan brings his new film PK.

Said to be a comedy-drama, the makers of the film have managed to keep the story tightly under wraps, despite the film's heavy promotions. As already reported in the media, Aamir Khan plays the role of an alien, something that is relatively new in Bollywood. Add to that, director Rajkumar Hirani wielding the megaphone after three back-to-back hits, PK has managed to generate tremendous hype prior to its release. However, does the film manage to live up to the expectations, will the past success (3 Idiots) of the Aamir Khan - Rajkumar Hirani combination work its charm in enticing the audiences to the theatres, will PK be a Christmas gift to cherish for the film loving audiences? Lets analyze.

The film starts off with PK (Aamir Khan), an alien, landing on earth, in the desert of Rajasthan, to study about human begins and life on earth. Arriving stark naked on a earth, PK has a rough start on the planet when his tracking remote, that helps him send signals back to his spaceship, gets stolen. He now has to find the remote to contact his spaceship and till then survive on earth on his own. Unaware of human mannerisms, language or life in general on earth, PK finds it difficult to adjust. However, fate brings him in touch with Bhairav Singh (Sanjay Dutt) who becomes his dear friend and helps him with life on earth. But destiny takes PK to Delhi. From here on starts a whirlwind story of a stranger in the unknown city of Delhi asking questions that despite their innocence hold a valuable and deep meaning. Aided on by Jagat Janani (Anushka Sharma) who teams up with him on this journey, PK challenges some of the oldest rituals of religion that are ruling life of people on earth.

As for the performances, Aamir Khan excels in the title role. This is probably one of the most challenging characters that he has played so far and with his stellar performance, Aamir Khan carries the film all the way. His childlike innocence, his Bhojpuri accent and his love for 'paan' only adds layers to the character of PK. Anushka Sharma, who has in her previous releases earned quite a bit of critical acclaim, does a good job as Jagat "Jaggu" Janani. She stands shoulder to shoulder with Aamir through the entire film. Sushant Singh Rajput is impressive in an extended cameo. Saurabh Shukla, though good, seems to be underutilized along with Boman Irani who too could have been given a meatier part. Sanjay Dutt, on the other hand, manages to carry off his role as a Rajasthani man with panache.

Music of PK is composed by Shantanu Moitra, Ajay-Atul and Ankit Tiwari and the lyrics are penned by Swanand Kirkire, Amitabh Varma and Manoj Muntashir. Songs like 'Nanga Punga Dost', 'Tharki Chokro' and 'Love Is Waste Of Time' have already gained popularity and they take the story forward in the film. 'Chaar Kadam' featuring Sushant Singh Rajput and Anushka Sharma is a soft number that sets the mood for romance just right.

Rajkumar Hirani, known for his films like 3 Idiots and the Munnabhai series tries to live up to his reputation of telling an engaging tale with a message. Though the storytelling is seamless, PK does seem to lack the punch that his earlier films had. Though the screenplay (Abhijat Joshi and Rajkumar Hirani) of the film is comprehensive and engrossing, with humorous situations and entertaining dialogues, the narrative does get slow at certain points. PK however hits the right notes and entertains.

Overall, PK that releases during the Christmas holidays enjoys a three week free run at the box office. Despite the film having its share of ups and downs, it is surely a good entertainer. Being a film that deals with the topic of God and Godmen, audiences are bound to draw a few similarities between PK and the previously released Akshay Kumar-Paresh Rawal starrer OMG OH MY GOD! But while latter dealt with a lay man asking some prominent questions about God and the almighty himself coming down to earth, PK differs with an alien not directly questioning God, but instead questioning the belief system that humans have created to reach God. But with high level of anticipation and a massive release (approximately 5000 screens domestically and 800+ screens overseas), PK is sure to create new box-office records.

On the whole, Aamir Khan's PK is a solid entertainer that will surely entertain the masses and classes alike. An outstanding film. Go for it.

PK movie review: Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma share adorable chemistry on screen

By Rishabh Chakravorty @RishabhChkrvrty | December 19, 2014 1:53 AM | comment
Tags: Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma, movie review, PK, rajkumar hirani

Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma starrer PK is in a class of its own, to say the least. Rajkumar Hirani has exceeded what expectations we have from him and a film that has Aamir Khan's Perfectionist angle beyond the horizon of what we thought could be done. The film has been nurtured over a long time and it shows when you enjoy each scene in the movie.

PK stars Aamir Khan as PK, Anushka Sharma as Jaggu or Jaggat Janani, Sushant Singh Rajput, Sanjay Dutt as Bhairon Singh, Boman Irani and Saurabh Shukla. PK is directed by Rajkumar Hirani, produced by Rajkumar Hirani, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Siddharth Roy Kapur and the film has been written by Rajkumar Hirani along with Abhijat Joshi of 3 Idiots and Lage Raho Munna Bhai fame. The film runs a little over two and half hours at 153 minutes of running time. (Read: PK Music Review)

The actors have done a fantastic job at being convincing in their roles. Aamir Khan is without a doubt the highlight of PK as he elegantly and brilliantly gives a well-conditioned role to remember as he plays on your minds with his interpretation and voicing his thought with his face and actions. The reality of PK's character is sure to leave you astonished given the well-executed role by Aamir Khan. Anushka Sharma as a curious journalist is great while her friendly chemistry with Aamir Khan is amusing and captivating. (Read: Sachin Tendulkar at special screening of PK- In pics)

Anushka Sharma is an aspiring journalist who befriends a strange friend when she meets PK and the budding friendship is captivating. Aamir Khan's dialogues in Bhojpuri and Saurabh Shukla as the self-proclaimed Godman are what you should look out for in the film. Boman Irani might not have time on his side in the film but his acting prowess and well-placed role is the link that joins the events in the film to real life scenarios. Sanjay Dutt plays an even shorter role but a memorable one as Bhairon Singh. Sushant Singh Rajput seems to have been underused in PK but he does justice to his role in the film.(Read: PK will release in 5000 screens)

PK can be watched with the family as you enjoy the comedy and let the drama develop while wondering why the film is called PK. If you have seen the dialogue promos or any promotional clipping that you might have a better idea about what or who is PK. (Watch: Aamir Khan's Bhojpuri accent in PK)

What or who is God? The film revolves around this question and watching the film will force you to think about what we consider holy and beyond understanding, is it real or just a prank played by influential people long time ago and to further twist the fabric of history to suit their needs. Here have been films in the past and the recent past as well like OMG - Oh My God! (2012) that have brushed the topic but they have received more flak than accolades.

The same issue has been presented in a wonderfully different manner by Rajkumar Hirani with a bit of mockery and sarcasm but he has managed not crossed over to blasphemy which angers the deeply pious folk in the world. In an age of predictable plots, the end manages to keep on the edge of your seat and very few, if at all any of us, would have been able to foresee the end.

The film begins with Anushka Sharma aka Jaggu who is studying journalism in the romantic city of Bruges in Belgium. She returns to India after her journalism course has finished and that's when she meets Aamir Khan aka PK. PK quite simply has an out-of-the-world view of things but there are deep underlying thoughts put in to the seemingly humorous and satirical scenes involving PK. The scenes have been shot at various locations giving us the visual treat of exotic as well as the regular sites we see.

Jaggu is intrigued by PK's view on life and things in general so she joins him in his quest to answer the questions no one seems to be asking. PK is a Rubik's Cube who can definitely be solved but solving the puzzle requires an ability to envision things before they happen which we lack. Jaggu's curiosity in PK itself raises many multi-levelled questions which are stacked like a Russian doll.

PK will constantly blow your sub-plots forming in your head as it never gets boring while the several layers unravel themselves. The film will make you laugh but also think about matters that we so easily ignore by shrugging our shoulders but are relevant to us.

Don't miss the film thinking about all the thinking you have to do and go for the no-brainer masala flick because the concepts are dealt with in a fun and playful way so that the message is passed on without making the audience yawn or leave them scratching their heads. There are two stories that fade in and out keeping the mystery alive throughout the film.

PK has seven songs composed by Shantanu Moitra, Ankit Tiwari and the Ajay-Atul duo. Swanand Kirkire, Amitabh Varma and Manoj Muntashir are the lyricists for the songs in PK. The songs have been sung by Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal, Shaan, Ankit Tiwari and Swaroop Khan.

Rating - ****

PK' (Peekay) - Movie Review: Aamir Khan-Anushka Sharma's Chemistry Impresses Viewers

Rajkumar Hirani's "PK" (Peekay), which is the last highly-awaited Bollywood movie of 2014, has released in theatres in the international markets on 18 December and received positive reviews from the foreign viewers.

"PK" is a comedy-drama film, which has been jointly produced by Rajkumar Hirani, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Siddharth Roy Kapur. Besides direction and production, Hirani has also penned script for the film in collaboration with Abhijat Joshi. The movie has an interesting story and the makers have kept it under wraps, which has created lot of curiosity among the film goers across the globe.

The story of "PK" revolves around a stranger in the city, who asks questions that no one has asked before. Known only by his initials, PK's innocent questions and childlike curiosity will take him on a journey of love, laughter and letting-go, according to IMDB.

The film is a satire on "God and godmen". Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma, who have teamed up for the first time, are seen in never-played-before roles and the amazing chemistry between the two and their impeccable comedy timing are the main attractions of this much-hyped movie.

Sushant Singh Rajput, Boman Irani, Sanjay Dutt, Saurabh Shukla and Ram Sethi have ssayed important roles in "PK" and their performances are also among the big assets of the film. Ajay Atul, Shantanu Moitra and Ankit Tiwari scored music for the songs and background score, while CK Muraleedharan handled the cinematography for the film.

The movie buffs, who watched "PK", have fallen in love with the movie. The interesting story, lead actors' sterling performances, melodious music, high entertainment quotient, amazing camera work, beautiful, costumes, makeup, art direction and locations are the big attractions of the film, according to the audience.

Here is the live update of "PK" movie review by viewers:

Bhawana Somaaya

First time as a #critic I feel some films are better experienced as a #discussion rather than as a critical analysis and #PK is among them. Writer director #RajuHirani like every time presents a new thought. His strength as filmmaker is his honesty, his intention n his simplicity. #AamirKhan has done many challenging roles in his career but #Pk is beyond imagination. His performance has to be experienced!

Aniruddha Guha

In Rajkumar Hirani, I trust. #PK #NowWatching Half-time at #PK screening. Silly, far-fetched, occasionally hilarious, but never dull (the songs, though, are a bhaste of time).

Oddee

So far couple of really good scenes ('Acchaa episode', 'Gandhi photo on currency'..) but overall neither boring nor interesting. Interval. 3.5/5. Good stuff. But satires on mass hysteria and the same questions were asked too many times. #PK

Ravi Sutharsan

Watched #PK! Its going to take a hell of a lot of media reels and everything to talk and talk and talk about this masterpiece! #PK You start up laughing, and the laughter turns into crying. You experience the whole gamut of emotions, and end up saluting the makers. Oh My God scratches the surface. #PK scratches it up to the point where it drives in a hole. Anushka Sharma is seriously excellent in the film. Her best ever. Raju's heroines have meaty roles, but I think Anushka takes the cake. Two negatives - one the start was not very attractive (the first 15-20 mins). Two, a few transitions into the songs looked forced.

Ashish Saksena

@RajkumarHirani-exceptional director. @aamir_khan-immaculate sense of script. Anushka Sharma-terrific. And #PK is outstanding. Monster hit.

Karan Johar

PK yet again proves that Rajkumar Hirani is the best director of our country...it's undoubtedly Aamir Khans best performance to date...#PK PK is hilarious and emotional in equal measure...it's a game changing film...Kudos to the team!!! @AnushkaSharma you were superb!!!

Jim Bessman

Back from #PK screening. Wonderful. #AamirKhan great, #AnushkaSharma adorable. Still singing "Love is a Waste of Time."

Swapneel Badve

#pk outstanding movie till interval Best bollywood has ever witnessed

Rohit Amble

Somebody here is #Alien...#Pk . Interval..#Pk is on way to be Masterpiece phenomena .

Mahiie Gill

@PKTheFilm is so well-scripted, skilfully crafted and a thought-provoking entertainer! A sparkling example of qualitative cinema! [1/3] #PK Everything about @PKTheFilm works! It's rare to see a film dat bounces between humour & sentiment so seamlessly. Luv @aamir_khan [2/3] #PK @AnushkaSharma's perfection and @itsssr has got coolness in his blood! @RajkumarHirani I honestly feel dat #PK is my birthday gift! :D [3/3]

Darsheeka Singh

What n amazing movie! #PK must watch! Tho I needn't advocate it :P @aamir_khan is enuf! Thank u sir for keeping special preview 4 police!

Jaydeep Bharat

Ashoke Pandit

Kudos to Raju Hirani-Aamir Khan duo for a brilliant film PK.U once again proved that you are one of the finest Actor Director Jodi.#PK Where the world is spreading hatred because of religion, Raju Hirani and @aamir_khan's #PK spreads love through it. Revelation!

Knight Rider

So Review of PK is Out - A Good movie With same subject as Oh my God , Saurabh shukla plays A Godmen , He is also the villain in the movie. PK review - NOT a Masterpiece Like 3 idiots, Not a Laugh riot , Its A Gud movie With message , Bhojpuri dialougues are Spoilers. PK Review - Strictly For Aliens. Families Stay Away from #PK Too many vulgar scenes ,Kissing amd sex scenes in Climax aamir runs With the tramsistor showing his ass

RickshawWala

Saw #PK .. Anushka has done quite well.. Aamir acting and Bhojpuri jokes are Chutiyapa.. And story is copy of OMG .. Don't waste ur money on #PK I must say ..

Miss Marple

Dont get the nannying treatment given to Sanjay Dutt by film-makers like R.Hirani.I mean the guy is a felon.& Munnabhai was so overrated!#PK. 3Idiots gave me Royal headache(literally,watched it in London),so giving #PK a pass.
