PK is a winner all the way, a film that Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy and Guru Dutt would have been proud of had they been alive. Rajkumar Hirani is without a doubt their most worthy standard-bearerRead full review5.0

Aamir Khan’s PK is a solid entertainer that will surely entertain the masses and classes alike. An outstanding film. Go for it.Read full review4.5
Shubha Shetty-Saha | Mid Day
pk’s script lacks the laugh out loud and memorable moments that Hirani’s earlier films, ‘Munnabhai MBBS’ or ‘3 Idiots’ had, but nevertheless there is a healthy dose of subtle humour which keeps you chuckling once in a while. But its potent dialogues make up for the lack of laughs. That one gripping and extremely effective scene where pk is taking on the shrewd godman (Saurabh Shukla) is alone worth the ticket.Read full review4.5
Anindita Dev | Zee News
The movie indeed is a combination of entertainment, humour, glamour, wit and perfect comic relief with a message that is shown throughout the movie. It is bound to compel you to ponder and question certain myths.`PK` has enough substance to keep you hooked to your seats for the entire run time. If you find your attention wavering in the first half, the second half of the movie will put your doubts to rest. The story only gets interesting and picks up pace towards the end.Read full review4.5

It’s amazing that the makers thought of bringing us such an entertaining and thought- provoking film through the eyes of this unique character. Perhaps we all need a PK with us. As PK says, Earth ki to lulli baji hui hai.Read full review4.5
Saurabh Dwivedi | India Today
PK attempts to question narrow-minded rules and opinions of religious heads and the very definitions with which we segregate one from another.Crisp and crackling PK redefines the term – ‘healthy entertainment’. This is Aamir’s best performance till date. Anushka fits the bill as Jaggu. Sushant Singh Rajput proves his mettle as loverboy yet again. Saurabh Shukla and Boman Irani are delightful. Sanjay Dutt does a great job as Bhairon Singh.Read full review4.0

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.Read full review

PK is a fun film with proper dose of ‘gyaan’. It’s a film that shouldn’t be missed and it’s brave because it attempts to create a better world. Another winner from Rajkumar Hirani. It would be hard to stop it from owning the box-office as well.Read full review4.0

MovieCrow Reviewer | MovieCrow
It is rare that a film questions beliefs, especially of a god fearing nation like ours that has million gods smiling on us every single day. It is even rarer that the film does this with a smile on its face, without pontificating and sermonizing. PK does all of this with a flair only Hirani can manage. After Munnabhai, PK is the next buzzword for years to come. All Hail PK!Read full review

PK is no satire — it’s a bit too toothless for that — but it is a rollicking mainstream entertainer with ambition to evoke some introspection, one with compelling moments and some genuine surprises.Read full review4.0
Rahul Desai | Mumbai Mirror
I can think of nobody but Aamir Khan as PK, and nobody but Rajkumar Hirani as our teacher. Take in what they say. Enjoy the way they say it. Make this mandatory for impressionable children waiting to hope. After all, these kids will be the ones in charge if extraterrestrials ever pop in to review our planet. And for once, let them think past the stars.Read full review4.0
Noyon Jyoti Parasara | NowRunning
It is a film that has the Hirani stamp all over it – an entertainer with a message. And of course it too has tremendous repeat value. And yet, PK is not Hirani’s best!PK is by far the most honest and earnest big-budget film of the year.Read full review

Mohar Basu | Koimoi
It’s not often that you go to the movies to learn, absorb, comprehend and yet come out exclaiming what a delightful time you had. This is better than just an ordinary Hirani affair. It’s his most valiant product till date and I for one will applaud him for not frisking away with easy routes in a film that’s better kept ‘safe’. It’s a thing to learn from him, how to drive home a point without any bhesht of time.Read full review

Even though PK left me underwhelmed at times, there is no denying its utter sincerity of purpose.That feeling when you’re effortlessly floating in the air….In PK director Raj Kumar Hirani makes us feel good about life.

Its amusing insights and bold message make PK hit home. Appreciate its truths – which aren’t so alien after all.Read full review4.0
Anil Sinanan | TimeOut
Director Rajkumar Hirani has fashioned a clever film which asks progressive questions about dogmatic beliefs and does not attempt to bombard us with ‘right’ answers, encouraging viewers to rethink accepted social and religious beliefs. The performances are pitch perfect, with A-lister Khan proving yet again that he’s the most versatile and intelligent Indian actor of his generation. The result is probably the best mainstream Hindi film of 2014. But do be sure to stick around for the final credits!Read full review3.5
Surabhi Redkar | Koimoi
PK is a must watch and surely ends 2014 on a good note. When there is a confluence of smart direction, excellent content and an actor like Aamir Khan at hand, there is little that can go wrong. If you don’t end up asking the same questions as PK to yourself, then you may want to consider yourself an alien.Read full review3.5
Sukanya Verma | Rediff
Beneath its vibrant bouts of humour, PK mocks at the societal arrangement we have grown apathetic to. Those jokes are ultimately nothing but PK’s sarcasm at the expense of our collective desperation that wagers to chance and dubs it a miracle, rejoices in disparity, exhorts fear and has forgotten their fundamental right to question.When PK works, it does with great merit, spunk and surprise.When it does not, it meanders, sermonises and guilt trips exactly in the tone of the one it reproaches.Read full review

Martin D'Souza | Glamsham
PK is a simple film with a strong message-of love, peace and humanity. That is what every religion teaches us. If only we humans understand that. The message by Pope Francis last week [at the start of the review], aptly sums up the situation. We all need a change of heart! It’s a pity an Alien has to teach us that!!Read full review3.5

Rajeev Masand | IBNLive
PK sticks faithfully to Hirani’s well-oiled formula, and yet there is no question that it’s a courageous film. Packed with sharp dialogue and genuinely funny moments that offset the lack of subtlety, it is easily one of the year’s better films. The director’s best since Lage Raho Munnabhai.Read full review3.5

Meeta Kabra | Wogma
To say the film focussed only on one religion would be completely missing the point. It is up to us to extrapolate it to the religion of our choice, including our own. How many of us will “get it” and be able to internalise it is a completely different question altogether.Read full review3.5
Manjusha Radhakrishnan | Gulf News
PK makes for an entertaining one-time watch. Their hearts are in the right place, but this drama would have benefitted hugely from tighter editing and enhanced screen time for cameo stars Sushant Singh Rajput and Boman Irani. Sanjay Dutt, in an extended cameo as a large-hearted villager, pitches in perfectly.Watch this film if you are a Khan fan and want to learn a thing or two about religious tolerance without making it a bitter pill for viewers.Read full review3.0
Mayank Shekhar | The W14
At some point towards the end the filmmakers also take their eyes entirely off the ball and begin to deal with extraneous things and side characters.Responding as an audience, was I disappointed? Yes. Anybody walking in with massive expectations will be (Ab dil hi toot gaya, PK kya karenge?). But could that well be a knock on the expectations rather than the film? Who knows. Was I glad I watched it? Yes. There you go.Read full review3.0
Suhani Singh | India Today
It may not entirely live up to the lofty expectations one has of a Rajkumar Hirani film, but PK is still very much a Hirani film. It is a feel-good, family entertainer with a charismatic lead. It is well-meaning and amusing film, occasionally brimming with great ideas.Read full review3.0
Tanaya Ramyani | BookMyShow
PK is a fun film to watch. Watch it for Aamir Khan’s outlandish yet heart-warming performance. PK will make you smile, laugh and cry. And most of all, he will make you realize how important it is to believe in ourselves and humanity, rather then following any faith blindly. Just the perfect message to usher in the New Year.Read full review3.0

Shalu Dhyani | Bollyspice
PK is not a bad film at all. In fact it is a good film. However ‘good’ is not what one expects from Rajkumar Hirani. When one walks into a cinema hall expecting brilliance and gets only good, there is bound to be disappointment. However, there is no denying that Hirani’s weakest film is still better than 95 percent of the films released this year. Don’t miss it but do keep your expectations low.Read full review

Shubhra Gupta | Indian Express
Post interval, it slumps. The focus, which till then is on a character who intrigues us while interesting things are happening to him, gets diluted by a wholly superfluous romance (and songs, tuneful as a couple are), and a face-off between the guy awash in other-worldly goodness who asks all the right questions and the bad godman who has all the wrong answers.Read full review

Suparna Sharma | Deccan Chronicle
What’s also very disturbing here is that even when the film is saying something important, it’s surrounded by conventional and corny stuff. Weighted down by cliches, the film often feels tiresome. I don’t enjoy watching Aamir Khan very much. His smugness, didactic finger-wagging irritates me. But here he sheds the moral weight he’s been carrying since Tare Zameen Pe and Satyamev Jayate. There’s a lightness and playfulness to his character that’s touching. In the raw state, as a clean slate, his PK is convincing and charming.Read full reviewNR
IndiaTvNews Reviewer | IndiaTvNews
Now while its storyline is fascinating, PK has ample surprises which unfold layer by layer remarkably. But one thing, which needs to be made clear is that PK is not a out an out comedy-caper as its trailer and songs have hinted towards yet carrying the same thought-process while stepping into the theatres won’t disappoint you. While there is a serious subject Rajkumar Hirani is dealing with and his ways of presenting the entire issue turns out to be humorous.Read full reviewNR

PK might not be the repeat value juggernaut like 3 Idiots, but it does have better content, execution and a more socially relevant topic. Props to Hirani and team for saving one of the most enjoyable movies of the year for the last.Read full reviewNR
Komal Nahta | Komal Nahta's Blog
PK is an outstanding entertainer with a strong message relevant to all human beings. It will easily prove to be one of the biggest Bollywood blockbusters, probably, the biggest also. It has all chances to emerge as the first film to cross the Rs. 300-crore mark.Read full reviewNR
Sanjukta Sharma | LiveMint
PK is a dialectic on religion on the big screen, without much of the splendour of cinematic technique. It is rooted to dialogues, scenes and characters, as does Hirani’s other films. But the director’s biggest feat is the idea, its effortless translation and its politics. Someone in the broad stroke canvas of populist Hindi cinema has finally spoken on behalf of the agnostic. Given the news headlines, how much more relevant could that get?Read full reviewNR
JPN | Jagran
Rajkumar Hirani has succeeded in giving social message and dealing with the critical issue of religion with such innocence and humour. The blend of humour, drama and emotions has worked well for the ‘PK’, making it the most successful film of the year.Read full review

Rachit Gupta | Filmfare
…with dodgy and inconsistent dialogue and repetitive visuals which look too similar to 3 Idiots and Lage Raho Munnabhai, PK doesn’t quite match up to the mark. It’s certainly not Hirani’s best. But it is good enough to engage and entertain the majority of its audience.Read full reviewNR
Sneha May Francis | Emirates247
Aamir’s earnest as the elephant-eared PK, who unwittingly uncovers the frauds in the religion company. His language is spot-on, but his chiseled body appears misplaced. He’s a great performer, no doubt, but even he turns PK into a caricature. Anushka is the weakest link. Wonder if it’s her artificial pout that distracted us from appreciating her work. She’s capable of much more, but her Jaggu appears flat.Read full review
NR
Shilpa Jamkhandikar | Reuters
The message might be noble, but the narrative is weak, and this is perhaps the weakest of Hirani’s films. His trademark humour is sparse; and inspite of Anushka Sharma’s spirited portrayal of a reporter who helps PK, and Khan’s over-earnest performance as the protagonist, the film is a tedious watch.Read full reviewNR
Deccan Chronicle Reviewer | Deccan Herald
This is an absolutely unmissable mass entertainer, if ever there has been one. It is unlikely that you will ever be more entertained and more enlightened – both at the same time – by a Bollywood film.Read full review

Deepanjana Pal | Firstpost
On the face of it, PK is a simple, sweet family entertainer that has its heart in the right place and wants everyone to live happily ever after. It’s also one of the braver films we’ve seen from commercial Bollywood because of Hirani doesn’t shy away from pointing a steady finger at those who would inflame communal tensions for petty, personal gain. Somewhere under Hirani’s seemingly sweet and harmless exterior, is an angry, disappointed and disillusioned man. He doesn’t appear in the film promotions, but he’s the one making the films in which people take on the ugliness of the real world and defeat it. Their weapon of choice: optimism that just won’t give up, no matter how messed up everything may be. However, it’s telling that the one who wields that weapon in PK is an alien who just wants to get off this planet.Read full review
NR
Sudhish Kamath | The Hindu
Hirani’s PK is no doubt a very important and relevant film for all of us who have suffered enough due to communal tensions, fanaticism, polarisation and even heartless terrorism. Like all Hirani films, the second half relies on the hero becoming a champion of social reform via media with doses of drama and feel-good by asking the right questions, all predictably intercut with weeping viewers intensely touched by the points made.Read full reviewNR
Lokesh Dharmani | Masala
I won’t rate the film because to capture genuine efforts of a genuine filmmaker like Hirani in numbers will be unfair. So go watch the film. Like it or dislike it. But be fearless to question it as well, just like PK does, unapologetically, unabashedly in the film.Read full review

My review of PK (2014) by bangreaayushi
jyothimathur, 9 years agoBohot hi awesome gola! ‘Hum PK hu, PK’, actually will start with this introduction from the movie. The film’s main reason to enter the 100 crore-box office was Aamir Khan’s common narration ‘Hum PK hu, PK’. Amir, a versatile and a supersonic personality leaves no stone unturn to make the audiences laugh. The film’s most perfect and eye catching scene is that of PK’s introduction catching a radio. After giving series of loud performances in movies such as 3-idiots, Talaash, Dhoom 3 and yet more, Aamir is spellbinding as an alien in this movie. I think if the director could have signed someone other than Aamir, then I’m certain that no one could have been as close to the character as Aamir did. Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Raput too have raised the graph of their hard work as it is visible in many scenes. Starting from the beginning till the end, there is no such scene where you won’t be connected with the content of the movie. Spirituality with modern invention is the bottom line of the film. Raj Kumar Hirani is what to say man! He is a splendid, electrifying genius and an ideal Indian personality. Every time, his ‘paisa vassol’ concepts create curiosity for his next ‘to- be- ventured projects’. There are many soul touching scenes that makes you completely, deeply and madly in love with all the characters. The story’s suspense and ‘the so-called-selfie moment’ is the entry of Ranbir Kapoor, you surely cannot miss him. The dialogues are soooooo much synchronizing with the theme that makes you blow whistle after every narration. Locations, especially Belgium tracks shown are indeed the ‘heaven on earth’ types. Boman Irani as Anushka’s boss is perfect with his silly acts. Diwali’s flying rocket is Sanjay Dutt’s dance in the song ‘Tharki chokro’. Exquisite flow of emotions, dialogues and concept keeps your constant gaze towards the theater screens. The dance moves in the film are foxy. This movie has the hidden ‘Santa Claus’ moments that will make you go merry. Aamir’s Bhojpuri accent raises your eyebrows in amazement. If you are a true fan of Hirani, then this movie will surely develop high tide moments for you and your friends. Somewhere I felt that the spiritual concept of the film is inherited from the film ‘OMG!’. With the trailers out, it created a thrill of excitement to watch. The merry moment in the film is the picturisation of the song ‘Bhagwan hai kaha re tu’. The movie wouldn’t have been a perfect baked cake if this song wouldn’t have been picturised in so many themes(talking about shootings in many religious places). Anushka Sharma’s performance till the end created many romantic notions in. This film is worth entertaining and it also conveys a strong social message. Hirani has got this inbuilt quality to play with spectrum of emotions very awfully. For those who thought that this film has played with the spiritual morals, then its certainly not for them. The dress designers have too created magic with their different shades and combination of dresses for Mr. Perfectionist. One thing more that added to this film’s box-office hit is the Aamir’s ‘paan’ act. This truly gave the flavor to his personality as a Bhojpuri artist. -

My review of PK (2014) by admin
admin, 9 years agoIt's really pathetic. PK clearly shows it is against Hindu beliefs and rituals. I have seen OMG and it was not at all biased. It portrayed every religion's believes while this movie is totally against Hindu sentiments. Because it's easy to target Hindu as we don't have common view even on religion aspects. I have no doubt on quality of movie, but I want to 1 star only for defaming Hindusim -

lee, 9 years agoThis movie is remake of OMG. But only the plot and setting is different. Secondly, Movie has attacked only Blind Faith of Hindus, but has ignored the Blind Faiths of Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, etc. Movie has exactly the same msg like OMG. Only Amir Khan's acting made it special. -
