Movie Rating : 4 out of 5 (5 being best)
Overall Impact on Audience : 3.5 (5 being best)

Whenever a good movie is made, It becomes a good movie purely due to detailing. Concepts come and go. Inspirations can be many. But it is the level of detailing and story telling which has impact on the audience and that is how a great movie is made.

I am sure when PK was in storyboard stage, it might have looked silly but the more RKH put his time into the story, the better the story turned into. Personally, I feel there are only 3 directors in industry who are best story tellers - RKH of bollywood, SS of Tollywood and Shankar of Kollywood.

People may mistake me, for me story telling is not elite, Story telling should be so easy that even a school going kid understands what the movie is telling him. Movies have power of captivating attention of Audience. And Movies are bad, good , better and best.

Lets come back to PK undoubtedly best Bollywood movie of the year. A 'nude A Khan with transistor' to 'Nude R Kapoor with Dressed A Khan', the movie has been made with much thoughts put into action and making silly things look intelligent.

'Tappa' laga hai kya? We are never born with any stamp or we do have any idea what we are. We behave how our parents want us to behave, we just take the religion, region, genes of our parents without much resistance. A country like India, where everyone has a religion attached, there is no scope for a person with no religion.

We never see any government forms with Religion being blank. Religion is a must fill field!

Couple of years back, we had OMG which questioned babas of India. Now, we have PK which is questioning the very existence of Religion and God.

RKH want to put this idea about Religion into a movie. how can he put this concept into a movie with someone born on earth or India? So he got us an Alien who wants to study Earth.

He is Goody Goody Alien who lost his very own existence the moment he landed on earth. He is not able to connect to his world. Now what can he do? He studied people, dressing style without knowing the language of people. He stumbles upon S Dutt where he learns what friendship means and luckily learns the language of people in the Honeymoon tent :)

He goes to Delhi to find his remote to his world. He meets Jaggu with pamphlets 'Missing God', 'Lapatha Bhagwan'. Jaggu is intelligent journalist who returned to India after a misunderstood breakup with a Pakistani. RKH might have misled us here :). But wait.

Jaggu finds a Khan amusing and listens to his story. First she does not believe him but ultimately A Khan has some powers. He falls in love with Jaggu in process of finding the right number to call good. He finds his remote with one big Baba BC who fools people saying the remote is the piece of Damaruka of Lord Shiva. And we Indians are so foolish, believe into something eternal and forgetting the present. A Khan Confronts with baba tapasvi, baba confronts with A Khan, finally a khan makes the right Call and #Indiawithpakistan happen.

Jaggu finds out PK was in love with her and as a tribute she writes 'PK' and was narrating the entire story to a group of Audience with her Dad's non stop whistles.

I liked the way RKH treated the concept of Religion. RKH says there is something eternal and we do not know about it. But we have some people propagating all the wrong agendas and their own agendas - They propagate as they are God's sayings. Religion was primarily formed to unite people - the same religion is dividing people - Creating all the ruckus allover the world.. you see deaths everyday in the name of religion.. you see conversions in the name of religion... What we are forgetting to understand is we are all born of the same womb.. all the religions are the same... We are same!
