PK is a 2014 Indian satirical science fiction comedy film.[4][5][6] The film was directed by Rajkumar Hirani, produced by Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra, and written by Hirani and Abhijat Joshi.[7] The film stars Aamir Khan in the title role with Anushka Sharma, Sushant Singh Rajput, Boman Irani, Saurabh Shukla, and Sanjay Dutt in supporting roles. It tells the story of an alien who comes to Earth on a research mission. He befriends a television journalist and questions religious dogmas and superstitions.

The film received positive reviews and emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of all time,[8][9] and ranks as the 70th highest grossing film of 2014 worldwide.[10] PK was the first Indian film to gross INR 7 billion worldwide.[11][12][13][14][15][16] It was also the first Indian film to gross US$100 million(Rs 630 crore) worldwide.[17][18][19][20]

Plot

A humanoid alien (Aamir Khan) lands on Earth naked on a research mission in Rajasthan, but is stranded when the remote control of his spaceship is stolen, though he manages to get the thief's cassette recorder, a National Panasonic RQ-565D. On the same day in Bruges, Jaggu (Anushka Sharma) meets a man named Sarfaraz (Sushant Singh Rajput) and falls in love with him. Jaggu's father (Parikshit Sahni) objects to their relationship because Sarfaraz is a Pakistani Muslim, while Jaggu is a Hindu. He consults godman Tapasvi Maharaj (Saurabh Shukla) who predicts that Sarfaraz will betray Jaggu. Determined to prove them wrong, Jaggu proposes to Sarfaraz. She is heart-broken at the wedding chapel when she receives a letter calling off the marriage due to their cultural differences.

Jaggu returns to India and becomes a TV reporter. She meets the alien and is intrigued at seeing him distribute leaflets about "missing" Gods. She saves him when he attempts to take money from a collection box, earning his trust.

He tells her that he was a research scientist from his planet. The people of his planet know nothing about dress, god and verbal communication. They transceive ideas by holding both of their hands with the person whom they are communicating. The longer they hold hands, greater information like language, skills, behaviour can be passed. After he landed on Earth, he learned to fit in among humans by wearing clothes and using money stolen from couples having sex in "dancing cars". After being accidentally hit by a truck, he was befriended by bandmaster Bhairon Singh (Sanjay Dutt), who took him along with his troop. Initially unable to communicate, he attempted to learn human language by grabbing peoples' hands and absorbing their memories through touch, but people chased him away, believing him to be a pervert. Bhairon took him to a brothel, where the alien held a prostitute's (Reema Debnath) hand for 6 hours and thus learned the Bhojpuri language.

Bhairon had a conversation with the alien, and suggested that the thief may be in Delhi. The alien left for Delhi. Due to his strange behaviour, people assumed he was drunk and called him PK (pee-kay, Hindi for "drunk"); he adopted this name. People told him that only "God" could help him find his remote. PK sincerely practiced every Indian religion attempting to find "God", but to no avail. He later discovered that Tapasvi had his remote, that he claimed was a gift from God. Tapasvi refused to return the remote.

Jaggu promises PK that she will recover his remote so he can go back home.

PK conjectures that Tapasvi and other godmen must be dialling a "wrong number" to communicate with God, and are therefore advising the public to engage in meaningless rituals. Jaggu encourages the public to expose fraudulent godmen, by sending their videos to her news channel. This "wrong number" campaign turns into a popular mass-movement, to the dismay of Tapasvi. Meanwhile, Bhairon finds the thief and contacts PK, informing him they will come to Delhi, but both die in a terrorist attack.

Tapasvi decides to confront PK on-air. During the debate, PK says the "God that created us all" is the only one we should believe in, and that the other "duplicate Gods" are created by man. Tapasvi claims he has a direct connection to God and refers to his prediction of Sarfaraz's betrayal as proof. PK realizes that Sarfaraz did not write the letter. Jaggu contacts the Pakistan Embassy in Belgium where Sarfaraz worked part-time. The embassy tells her that Sarfaraz still loves her, and transfers the line to Sarfaraz. Jaggu and Sarfaraz reconnect, and Tapasvi is forced to return PK's remote.

Meanwhile, PK has fallen in love with Jaggu, but refrains from telling her because she loves Sarfaraz. Having filled multiple audio tapes with her voice alone, he takes two suitcases full of tapes and extra batteries when leaving for home. After his departure, Jaggu publishes a book about him.

One year later, PK returns to Earth on a new research mission on human nature along with several other aliens (including one played by Ranbir Kapoor).

Production

Filming

According to Rajkumar Hirani, PK is a "satire on Hindu god and their godmen".[25] The co-director Khan began looking for shooting locations in July 2012.[26] Second unit filming was set to begin in late 2012,[27] which was stalled after the rumoured departure of three department heads for the film and bad weather stalling initial shoots.[28][29] Hirani denied rumours that the film would be delayed, stating that principal filming had always been intended to begin in mid-January 2013 in Delhi and Rajasthan to "capture the winter of Delhi".[30][31] Shooting officially began on 1 February 2013,[32] with the filming scheduled to occur over a 45-day period.[33] A 26-day schedule of shooting of PK started in Delhi from 27 September 2013.[34][35][36] When the shoot of the film was going on in Chandni Chowk area of Delhi, an FIR was lodged against makers of the film for allegedly hurting religious sentiments in October 2013.[37] The objection was regarding a scene in the film where a man dressed as the Hindu deity, Lord Shiva pulls the rickshaw with two burqa clad women as passengers.[38]

Themes

Firstpost compared PK to Hirani and Khan's previous collaboration 3 Idiots (2009), as they both involve "A socially awkward and 'different' young man – who walks and talks in a strange, enthusiastic childlike manner – observes the system, questions it, asks you to look at the many ludicrous things that inform it, and eventually brings about a minor revolution."[39]

Release

The film was released on 19 December 2014 as the 200th Bollywood release in 2014.[40][41] The film's release was later expanded to 6000 screens worldwide, which includes 5200 screens in India[42] and 844 screens overseas.[43] PK was initially released in 4844 screens worldwide.[44][45][46][47] PK has been made tax-free in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.[48][49][50] PK is the widest Indian movie released in the U.K. (198 screens), Pakistan (over 70 screens), Australia (35 screens) and outside of India (844 screens in over 40 overseas markets).[51] PK was released theatrically in China on 22 May 2015 across 4,600 screens[52]

Marketing

The first poster came out on 31 July 2014. A motion poster was also released on the same day on YouTube. The second poster was launched on 20 August 2014 at an event in Mumbai.[53][54] This poster was also released as a motion poster on YouTube. The new poster featured Aamir Khan wearing traditional Rajasthani attire, also sporting dark glasses and holding onto a brass tenor. The promotional strategy for the movie was revealed by the makers at the launch of the second poster.

The third motion poster introduced Sanjay Dutt as Bhairon Singh. The fourth motion poster featuring Anushka Sharma along with Aamir Khan released on YouTube 16 October 2014. The poster introduced Anushka Sharma as Jagat Janani[55] Aamir Khan stated that PK will have a poster campaign in which a new poster would be introduced every two to three weeks. By the time of release, 8 to 10 posters would have been launched.[56][57] The teaser released on 23 October.[58]

The film's first poster sparked a controversy[vague] as it featured Aamir Khan posing almost nude with only a radio cassette recorder covering his genitals.[25][59] Although the Central Board of Film Certification had already cleared the film, a PIL was filed in the court by the All India Human Rights and Social Justice Front to ban its release saying it promoted nudity and vulgarity. The Supreme Court dismissed the plea and gave the film a green signal.[60][61] A case was lodged against Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani in Rajasthan.[62][clarification needed]

The film's final scene shows PK returning to earth with another alien (Ranbir Kapoor). Talking about the ending, Khan said, "Maybe, Rajkumar Hirani is thinking of getting both Ranbir and me in the sequel."[63][64][65] In an interview with Hindustan Times, the writer Abhijat Joshi expressed interest in working on a sequel to PK.[66]

Kamal Haasan is reported to feature in PK remake in Tamil and Telugu.[67][68]

Distribution

Koimoi reported rumors of a satellite deal in which the satellite rights were sold for ₹850 million (US$10 million) if the domestic business reached ₹ 3 billion nett.[69][70] The music rights were sold for ₹150 million (US$1.8 million).[71] DNA reported, "Being the first film to use Rentrak, Aamir Khan has taken the first initiative to bring in a paradigm shift from the usual norms followed in Bollywood. He had clearly enforced the idea of Rentrak to be brought in to bring more accuracy when it comes to box office figures."[72]
