Movie Review - PK !

Note: If you want to prevent yourself from getting a headache please read the follow up.

Movie review :-

PK

PK dekhni ho toh, peekay jaane.

(Trans. If you want to watch PK, make sure you are drunk enough. )

Expectations lead to disappointment. And great expectations lead to a massive headache.

Coming from Raj Kumar Hirani, it was a put off. I mean I had lost hope in Aamir khan ever since I watched Talaash and Dhoom 3 ! So it wasn't as disappointing to watch him do PK. Anyways, moving forward with the story. The story is highly fictitious. It's about an alien wanting to go back home to his- "gola", for those who haven't watched it, that's how he refers to "planets". So he comes to our "gola" (earth) for a research, from his "gola" (name not mentioned). And he is completely nude, because apparently people in his "gola" don't wear clothes and they don't talk (because they can hold hands and know what's in somebody's mind). So he is nude and has a remote which would help him go back, in a necklace form. And in order to keep the story going, he loses it. Some Indian stole it(expected). And then he starts his journey to find that remote. Movie gets funny here. All jokes and incidents of the alien trying to get used to our lifestyle. And then he meets this girl (Anushka) , who decides to help him find his remote and he falls in love with her, but doesn't express (expected). And he finds the remote and goes back to his "gola".

Now, the movie's storyline is basically stupid. It is quite hilarious in the beginning. But it fades away with time. The movie is bearable till the interval. And after, don't even ask me about it. I had to drink two cups of coffee to stay awake! The ending is like most of the movies, the girl (Anushka) happens to be narrating the whole story to the audience. She apparently wrote a book on PK. A year later PK returns with alot of aliens from his "gola". Ranbir Kapoor makes his entry and winds up the movie. PK has a lot of parts from other hit movies like 'Chillar Party" and "Oh my God". It is like Raj Kumar Hirani has tried too hard to  convey a social message. (Don't believe in religions).  

The songs are average and not that great or anything like Emraan Hashmi's songs. The lyrics are meaningful and relatable to the situation, unlike other songs like Raghu Pati Raghav and all that crap.  However I am not saying that the movie is a total suckerbag. It is better than quite alot of movies, say Xpose, Housefull 3, Lootera, though I haven't watched any of these. Its just that I had expected a lot from PK and it turned out to be dumb. Sigh.

P.S  Alot of people literally loved the movie and happen to have laughed their asses out. And this review is highly critical and truly mine. So its our choice if you want to go and watch the movie or rather not. If you are an Aamir Khan fan, this review would probably not have affected your opinion and will for watching PK.

Anyways I just realized that this is one really lengthy review. Though I have skipped alot of it, cause it was boring. And you should know that I have an exam tomorrow. So how extremely annoyed I am right now, after have wasted 3 and a half hours on that piece of shit. -_-

 This is my first attempt at movie reviews, so please leave a comment below if you want me to do more. Thank you :)

  3. Dude
    I m straightforward guy
    And keeping friendship aside
    "Don't criticize what u can't understand"

    Basically the story
    Do u think alien do not exist?
    Then no one can help u out.

    Try to understand what the movie is trying to convey and not the plot.

    Because any one born on earth become a member of a company of particular religion by birth
    And it is all beacuse of the family in which he/she is born

    P.S.if u could suggest a better plot to convey this message, please.
    To convey or to show the faults in human civilization is not possible for a common man who is born on earth as he/she cannot see the nature with a different point of view.
    If Someone is trying to do something right
    Support him/her
    Don't criticize
    Yes its for u riya sarda

    Nd where movie is concerned
    Fantastic, true situation, enjoyable, conveyed a message
    "No one was borned with a stamp of religion"
    "Religion is the cause of diversity And War"

    Sorry riya. :(
    Hope u understand :)

    1. Well Mr. Mihir Parmar Everybody has a different point of view. You can't expect everybody to like that movie. Though I probably am the only person who did not like the movie, doesn't mean I cant criticize it. Being a citizen of a democratic country where citizens are granted The right to speech, I don't think you have any rights to stop me from criticizing the movie. I don't believe in aliens, problem ? And well OMG, Oh My God was an excellent, incomparable plot for this very issue. So, YOU please understand, and let me say whatever I wish to.

  4. haven't watched the movie and so dont know much about it.but id like to say one thing..you should find a better way of delivering your points..something which is a little more subtle.its bertter to become subtle with words than completely branding it "stupid".it is just extremely critical (not highly).
