PK

Rent & Buy
A stranger in the city asks questions no one has asked before. Known only by his initials, the man's innocent questions and childlike curiosity take him on a journey of love, laughter and letting go.
What critics thought
PK earned broad approval from Indian critics, with Aamir Khan's alien-fish-out-of-water performance drawing the most consistent praise, but the film's blend of broad comedy, religious satire, and melodrama left some reviewers feeling it pulled in too many directions at once. Audiences embraced it far more unanimously than critics did, making it a rare case where popular enthusiasm and critical consensus don't quite align.
“It's a courageous film that sticks to Hirani's well-oiled formula”
Rajeev Masand·CNN-IBN
“a mixed bag of spunk and sentimentality”
Sukanya Verma·Rediff.com
“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”
NDTV
“a solid entertainer that will surely entertain the masses and classes alike”
