The narrative jostles with a very ordinary dramatic curve in its final act. The result is a feel good comedy that looks as if its India’s answer to Steven Spielberg’s ET.
But PK intertwines the subject with a love story and a bit of science fiction. Akshay Kumar and Umesh Shukla’s Oh My God! explored similar territory before. It’s not challenging your faith in the almighty it’s simply asking questions for what people do in the name of God. As well as portraying the evil of men that breeds from the same system. There’s the absolute need for religion to invoke faith and hope in humans. And even the answers aren’t black and white. While that could easily stir up a controversy in our country, Hirani uses the motif of an extraterrestrial asking all the logical questions. It offers a logical argument to those blindly following religious rituals and figures. Along the way they get down to debunking superstitions and religious myths. The story deals with a scrawny little alien teaming up with a spirited young girl and learning how human lives function in a complex system of communication, religion and faith. You have Sanjay Dutt and Saurabh Shukla playing key characters in PK’s little adventure on planet Earth. Anushka Sharma plays a young girl out of love and feeling out of place in a big bad world driven by religion. Why he’s on Earth and what he does with his time on the planet is the larger picture. Yes he plays an extra terrestrial character but that’s just the first few seconds. If you’d heard fleeting rumours that PK was about Aamir Khan playing an alien, nothing’s spoilt for you. Even with its flaws, PK is still one of the best of the year.
Fact is this film had the promise to be much more. Had this not been a film by Aamir Khan, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Raju Hirani such criticism would’ve been unfair. A great concept goes through an average execution to reach a climax that is good if not great. Rajkumar Hirani’s guile as a storyteller adds to the experience. But a film like PK offers the right kind of resistance. There’s no rocket science to where this analogy ends. But as you start constructing it in celluloid it starts losing bits of its fancy. The creative scope of such a subject is beyond brilliant. A film like PK starts at the very top in its first phase. The second is where he uses the craft and techniques of filmmaking to execute his ideas. One’s the concept where the filmmaker decides what he wants to make. Right wing activists protest against Aamir Khan and his film ‘PK’.Cast: Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma, Boman Irani, Sanjay Dutt, Saurabh Shukla, Sushant Singh RajputĮvery film, good or bad, gets made in two phases. The film has further added Rs 134 crore from its overseas earning in North America, the UK, Australia and Gulf countries, with the producers hoping for a bigger increase tomorrow, when details from other territories would be available.
Reporters asking me, how much I think PK will make? I feel it has already made much much more than money! ‘PK’ has faced criticism by right-wing organisations, who said the Aamir Khan-starrer film disrespects Hindu religion, an allegation rejected by its makers. ‘PK’ box office collections have been exceptional in the international markets, having generated Rs 124 crore at the overseas box office. I am literally in tears reading the overwhelming love & response you guys have shown for PK & us. ‘PK’ with its Rs 278.52 crores at the box office is the second film by both Aamir Khan and Hirani after ‘3 Idiots’ (Rs 202 crore) to be a part of the Rs 200 crore club.Īamir-starrer ‘Dhoom 3’ is second biggest earner with Rs 271.82 crores followed by Salman Khan starrer ‘Kick’ (Rs 231.85 crore) and Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Chennai Express’ (Rs 227.13 crore).
PK MOVIE MOVIE
The manner in which ‘PK’ movie has kept up its momentum in building up box office collections burnishes the Aamir Khan aura further and gives greater credence to the trend of his movies packing great stamina for the long run – his movies may start a little slow, but as the days turn into weeks, they show no signs of slacking in pulling in the crowds into theatres. Aamir Khan and Sanjay Dutt in a still from ‘PK’. It’s humbling,” Rajkumar Hirani said in a statement. People are watching the film over and over again. We can continue making films we believe in. It reinforces faith that content is king. “I had never in my wildest dreams thought this film will cross these numbers. Director Rajkumar Hirani, while breaking the news, said the film’s word-of-mouth performance has been overwhelming.
