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 has emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of all time,[8][9] and ranks as the 66th highest grossing film of 2014 worldwide.[10] PK was the first Indian film to gross INR 6 billion worldwide.[11][12][13]

Plot

A humanoid alien (Aamir Khan) lands on Earth on a research mission in Rajasthan but is stranded when his beacon to his spaceship, a locket around his neck, is stolen. On the same day in Bruges, Jaggu (Anushka Sharma) falls in love with a man named Sarfaraz (Sushant Singh Rajput). Jaggu's father (Parikshit Sahni) objects to their relationship because Sarfaraz is a Muslim from Pakistan; 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 differences. She returns to India where she becomes a television reporter.

Jaggu meets the alien and becomes intrigued while watching him distributing leaflets about a missing God. In flashback, the alien, oblivious to Earth's customs, learns to fit in among humans by wearing clothes and using money that he steals from couples having sex in "dancing cars". He attempts to learn to communicate by grabbing peoples' hands and absorbing their memories through touch, but they chase him away when he tries, (wrongly) interpreting him to be a pervert. One day, a passenger vehicle carrying bandmaster Bhairon Singh (Sanjay Dutt) strikes him and renders him unconscious. Bhairon takes him to a doctor who declares the alien as a person suffering from amnesia. Bhairon assumes that the amnesia is the result of the collision the alien has had with his vehicle. Figuring that the alien will not be able to complain about the accident, Bhairon decides to run away, but then changes his decision and takes the alien along with his troop. Over time, the alien becomes his friend. Interpreting the alien's attempts at hand-grabbing as sexual interest, he takes him to a brothel. There, the alien holds a prostitute's hand for six hours and thus learns the Bhojpuri language.

Having learned to communicate, the alien then retraces the steps of the thief who stole his remote and travels to Delhi in search of the remote. Due to his strange behavior, the people in the city assume he is tipsy (tipsy translates to pee-kay in Hindi) and call him PK, a name he adopts. Delhi turns out to be a very large city and people tell him that only God can help him find his remote. PK then begins his search to find God, but is confused by India's diverse religions and their confusing traditions. He later discovers that Tapasvi, has his remote. However, Tapasvi falsely claims to have attained the object from God in the Himalayas and refuses to return it to PK. After hearing PK's story, Jaggu devises a plan to expose Tapasvi and recover PK's remote.

Bewildered, PK concludes that Tapasvi and other religious heads must be dialling a "wrong number" to communicate with God and are, as a result, spreading misunderstandings and advising the public to engage in meaningless rituals. Jaggu encourages thousands of people to send in videos of their own experiences with religious heads, calling them "wrong numbers". Meanwhile, PK contacts Bhairon Singh who says he will come to Delhi the next day, but dies in a bomb planted by terrorists to protect their faith in retaliation to PK's protests. After massive public appeals, Tapasvi is forced to come into the studio and confront PK on-air. Tapasvi claims he has a direct connection to God and refers to his prediction of Sarfaraz's betrayal as proof. However, PK, who had earlier absorbed Jaggu's memories, discovers that Sarfaraz did not write the letter she received. Jaggu contacts the Pakistan Embassy in Belgium where Sarfaraz worked part-time; the embassy tells her that Sarfaraz still loves her and calls them daily to inquire whether she has called. Jaggu and Sarfaraz reconnect and Tapasvi, exposed as a fraud, is forced to return PK's device.

In the course of the film, PK falls in love with Jaggu but refrains from telling her because she loves Sarfaraz. He instead records tapes of her voice and fills his suitcases with batteries so that he can listen to the tapes on his home planet. While departing, he lies to Jaggu regarding the content of the tapes; Jaggu, despite knowing the truth, keeps quiet. She later publishes a book about PK.

One year later, PK returns to Earth on a new research mission with several other aliens.

Production

Filming

According to Rajkumar Hirani, PK is a "satire on Hindu god and their godmen".[15] The co-director Khan began looking for shooting locations in July 2012.[16] Second unit filming was set to begin in late 2012,[17] which was stalled after the rumoured departure of three department heads for the film and bad weather stalling initial shoots.[18][19] 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".[20][21] Shooting officially began on 1 February 2013,[22] with the filming scheduled to occur over a 45-day period.[23] A 26-day schedule of shooting of PK started in Delhi from 27 September 2013.[24][25][26] 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.[27] 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.[28]

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."[29]

Release

The movie released on 19 December 2014. PK is the 200th Bollywood release in 2014.[30][31] The film's release was later expanded to 6000 screens worldwide including 844 screens overseas.[32] PK was initially released in 4844 screens worldwide.[33][34][35][36] PK has been made tax-free in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.[37][38][39]

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.[40][41] 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 October 16, 2014. The poster introduced Anushka Sharma as Jagat Janani[42] 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.[43][44] The teaser released on October 23.[45]

The film's first poster sparked a controversy[vague] as it featured Aamir Khan posing almost nude with only a transistor covering his genitals.[15][46] 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 movie a green signal.[47][48]

A case was lodged against Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani in Rajasthan.[49][clarification needed]

The film's final scene shows PK returns to earth with another alien (Ranbir Kapoor). Talking about the ending, Khan said, "May be, Rajkumar Hirani is thinking of getting both Ranbir and me in the sequel."[50][51][52] In an interview with Hindustan Times the writer Abhijat Joshi expressed interest in working on a sequel to PK.[53]

Kamal Haasan is reported to feature in PK remake in Tamil and Telugu.[54][55]

Distribution

Koimoi reported rumors of a satellite deal in which the satellite rights were sold for ₹85 crore (US$10 million) if the domestic business reaches ₹ 300 crores domestic nett.[56][57] The music rights were sold for ₹15 crore (US$1.8 million).[58] DNA reported "Being the first 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."[59]

Reception

Rajkumar Hirani is without a doubt their most worthy standard-bearer."[70] Bollywood Hungama described the film "a solid entertainer that will surely entertain the masses and classes alike" and gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars.[71] Raja Sen of Rediff gave PK 4 out of 5 stars and called it "a triumph" and argued that Aamir "soars high".[72] However, Sukanya Verma of the same publication called the film "a mixed bag of spunk and sentimentality", while still giving it 3.5 out of 5 stars.[73] Rohit Vats of Hindustan Times gave the film 4 out of 5 stars and said "Aamir Khan steals the show with his performance".[74] Rohit Khilnani of India Today gave 4.5 stars, and said "Go watch the film & watch it ASAP!"[75]

Activists of pro-Hindu organizations Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal protested against certain scenes in the film, which they considered to be hurtful to the religious sentiments of the Hindu community. Subsequently, some theatres were vandalised by those activists,[76][77][78] who demanded a ban on the movie[79] and a Public Interest Litigation was filed against the film for the same.[80][81] Government officials, such as the Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav and the Bihar chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi exempted the film from entertainment tax to encourage wider viewership.[82]
