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. Rajkumar Hirani is without a doubt their most worthy standard-bearer

What 44 critics are saying
Critical reception for PK is strongly positive, with the majority of reviewers calling it a must-watch and praising its bold, socially relevant message on religion, faith, and communal harmony delivered through humor and entertainment. Aamir Khan's performance and Rajkumar Hirani's direction draw consistent admiration, with several critics highlighting the film's courage in tackling religious orthodoxy within mainstream commercial cinema. The most common criticism is that PK falls short of Hirani's earlier films such as Munnabhai MBBS and 3 Idiots, with a number of reviewers noting a weaker second half, sparse laugh-out-loud moments, and a predictable formula that dilutes the film's impact.

8.0PK is no satire -- it's a bit too toothless for that -- but it is a rollicking mainstream entertainer with ambition to evoke some introspection, one with compelling moments and some genuine surprises.

7.0PK sticks faithfully to Hirani's well-oiled formula, and yet there is no question that it's a courageous film. Packed with sharp dialogue and genuinely funny moments that offset the lack of subtlety, it is easily one of the year's better films. The director's best since Lage Raho Munnabhai.

5.0Post interval, it slumps. The focus, which till then is on a character who intrigues us while interesting things are happening to him, gets diluted by a wholly superfluous romance (and songs, tuneful as a couple are), and a face-off between the guy awash in other-worldly goodness who asks all the right questions and the bad godman who has all the wrong answers.

PK might not be the repeat value juggernaut like 3 Idiots, but it does have better content, execution and a more socially relevant topic. Props to Hirani and team for saving one of the most enjoyable movies of the year for the last.

9.0PK is an absolute must watch film and watch it before your friends tell you all the surprise elements in detail.
India Today
Film review ·
9.0PK attempts to question narrow-minded rules and opinions of religious heads and the very definitions with which we segregate one from another. Crisp and crackling PK redefines the term - 'healthy entertainment'. This is Aamir's best performance till date. Anushka fits the bill as Jaggu. Sushant Singh Rajput proves his mettle as loverboy yet again. Saurabh Shukla and Boman Irani are delightful. Sanjay Dutt does a great job as Bhairon Singh.
Mid-Day
Film review ·
9.0pk's script lacks the laugh out loud and memorable moments that Hirani's earlier films, 'Munnabhai MBBS' or '3 Idiots' had, but nevertheless there is a healthy dose of subtle humour which keeps you chuckling once in a while. But its potent dialogues make up for the lack of laughs. That one gripping and extremely effective scene where pk is taking on the shrewd godman (Saurabh Shukla) is alone worth the ticket.

9.0It's amazing that the makers thought of bringing us such an entertaining and thought- provoking film through the eyes of this unique character. Perhaps we all need a PK with us. As PK says, Earth ki to lulli baji hui hai.
Zee News
Film review ·
9.0The movie indeed is a combination of entertainment, humour, glamour, wit and perfect comic relief with a message that is shown throughout the movie. It is bound to compel you to ponder and question certain myths. `PK` has enough substance to keep you hooked to your seats for the entire run time. If you find your attention wavering in the first half, the second half of the movie will put your doubts to rest. The story only gets interesting and picks up pace towards the end.

8.0WATCH IT! This film you will watch again and again on your TV and Laptop. Yes! Just like 3 Idiots. PK didn't disappoint us at all. In fact, it was worth every penny and minute we invested in the film.
Hindustan Times

8.0PK is a fun film with proper dose of 'gyaan'. It's a film that shouldn't be missed and it's brave because it attempts to create a better world. Another winner from Rajkumar Hirani. It would be hard to stop it from owning the box-office as well.

8.0PK will constantly blow your sub-plots forming in your head as it never gets boring while the several layers unravel themselves. The film will make you laugh but also think about matters that we so easily ignore by shrugging our shoulders but are relevant to us.

8.0It's not often that you go to the movies to learn, absorb, comprehend and yet come out exclaiming what a delightful time you had. This is better than just an ordinary Hirani affair. It's his most valiant product till date and I for one will applaud him for not frisking away with easy routes in a film that's better kept 'safe'. It's a thing to learn from him, how to drive home a point without any bhesht of time.
MovieCrow
Film review ·
8.0It is rare that a film questions beliefs, especially of a god fearing nation like ours that has million gods smiling on us every single day. It is even rarer that the film does this with a smile on its face, without pontificating and sermonizing. PK does all of this with a flair only Hirani can manage. After Munnabhai, PK is the next buzzword for years to come. All Hail PK!
Mumbai Mirror
Film review ·
8.0I can think of nobody but Aamir Khan as PK, and nobody but Rajkumar Hirani as our teacher. Take in what they say. Enjoy the way they say it. Make this mandatory for impressionable children waiting to hope. After all, these kids will be the ones in charge if extraterrestrials ever pop in to review our planet. And for once, let them think past the stars.

Film review ·
8.0It is a film that has the Hirani stamp all over it - an entertainer with a message. And of course it too has tremendous repeat value. And yet, PK is not Hirani's best! PK is by far the most honest and earnest big-budget film of the year.
SKJBollywoodNews
Film review ·
8.0Even though PK left me underwhelmed at times, there is no denying its utter sincerity of purpose.That feeling when you're effortlessly floating in the air….In PK director Raj Kumar Hirani makes us feel good about life. And that, in these troubled times , is not short of a miracle.
TimeOut
Film review ·
8.0Director Rajkumar Hirani has fashioned a clever film which asks progressive questions about dogmatic beliefs and does not attempt to bombard us with 'right' answers, encouraging viewers to rethink accepted social and religious beliefs. The performances are pitch perfect, with A-lister Khan proving yet again that he's the most versatile and intelligent Indian actor of his generation. The result is probably the best mainstream Hindi film of 2014. But do be sure to stick around for the final credits!

7.0If you're looking for a film in the league of the Munnabhais and 3 Idiots, PK is not even close. But it's still a must-see for many reasons, and by that, I mean the protagonists.
Glamsham
Film review ·
7.0PK is a simple film with a strong message-of love, peace and humanity. That is what every religion teaches us. If only we humans understand that. The message by Pope Francis last week [at the start of the review], aptly sums up the situation. We all need a change of heart! It's a pity an Alien has to teach us that!!
Gulf News
Film review ·
7.0PK makes for an entertaining one-time watch. Their hearts are in the right place, but this drama would have benefitted hugely from tighter editing and enhanced screen time for cameo stars Sushant Singh Rajput and Boman Irani. Sanjay Dutt, in an extended cameo as a large-hearted villager, pitches in perfectly. Watch this film if you are a Khan fan and want to learn a thing or two about religious tolerance without making it a bitter pill for viewers.
KoiMoi
Film review ·
7.0PK is a must watch and surely ends 2014 on a good note. When there is a confluence of smart direction, excellent content and an actor like Aamir Khan at hand, there is little that can go wrong. If you don't end up asking the same questions as PK to yourself, then you may want to consider yourself an alien.
Rediff
Film review ·
7.0Beneath its vibrant bouts of humour, PK mocks at the societal arrangement we have grown apathetic to. Those jokes are ultimately nothing but PK's sarcasm at the expense of our collective desperation that wagers to chance and dubs it a miracle, rejoices in disparity, exhorts fear and has forgotten their fundamental right to question. When PK works, it does with great merit, spunk and surprise. When it does not, it meanders, sermonises and guilt trips exactly in the tone of the one it reproaches.
The Navhind Times
Film review ·
7.0PK is far from being flawless but it remains a must watch film for those who believe in god, and also for those who don't.
Wogma
Film review ·
7.0To say the film focussed only on one religion would be completely missing the point. It is up to us to extrapolate it to the religion of our choice, including our own. How many of us will "get it" and be able to internalise it is a completely different question altogether.

Film review ·
6.0PK is not a bad film at all. In fact it is a good film. However 'good' is not what one expects from Rajkumar Hirani. When one walks into a cinema hall expecting brilliance and gets only good, there is bound to be disappointment. However, there is no denying that Hirani's weakest film is still better than 95 percent of the films released this year. Don't miss it but do keep your expectations low.
BookMyShow
Film review ·
6.0PK is a fun film to watch. Watch it for Aamir Khan's outlandish yet heart-warming performance. PK will make you smile, laugh and cry. And most of all, he will make you realize how important it is to believe in ourselves and humanity, rather then following any faith blindly. Just the perfect message to usher in the New Year.

6.0PK is sublime cinematic achievement speaking the unique ala Hirani language of cinema creating another milestone in the careers of Aamir Khan (his best act till date), Raju Hirani, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and UTV.
India Today
Film review ·
6.0It may not entirely live up to the lofty expectations one has of a Rajkumar Hirani film, but PK is still very much a Hirani film. It is a feel-good, family entertainer with a charismatic lead. It is well-meaning and amusing film, occasionally brimming with great ideas.
The W14
Film review ·
6.0At some point towards the end the filmmakers also take their eyes entirely off the ball and begin to deal with extraneous things and side characters. Responding as an audience, was I disappointed? Yes. Anybody walking in with massive expectations will be (Ab dil hi toot gaya, PK kya karenge?). But could that well be a knock on the expectations rather than the film? Who knows. Was I glad I watched it? Yes. There you go.
Deccan Chronicle
Film review ·
5.0What's also very disturbing here is that even when the film is saying something important, it's surrounded by conventional and corny stuff. Weighted down by cliches, the film often feels tiresome. I don't enjoy watching Aamir Khan very much. His smugness, didactic finger-wagging irritates me. But here he sheds the moral weight he's been carrying since Tare Zameen Pe and Satyamev Jayate. There's a lightness and playfulness to his character that's touching. In the raw state, as a clean slate, his PK is convincing and charming.
Deccan Herald
Film review ·
This is an absolutely unmissable mass entertainer, if ever there has been one. It is unlikely that you will ever be more entertained and more enlightened – both at the same time – by a Bollywood film.
Emirates247
Film review ·
Aamir's earnest as the elephant-eared PK, who unwittingly uncovers the frauds in the religion company. His language is spot-on, but his chiseled body appears misplaced. He's a great performer, no doubt, but even he turns PK into a caricature. Anushka is the weakest link. Wonder if it's her artificial pout that distracted us from appreciating her work. She's capable of much more, but her Jaggu appears flat.
Filmfare
Film review ·
...with dodgy and inconsistent dialogue and repetitive visuals which look too similar to 3 Idiots and Lage Raho Munnabhai, PK doesn't quite match up to the mark. It's certainly not Hirani's best. But it is good enough to engage and entertain the majority of its audience.
FilmiBeat

PK movie is all that you anticipated, a paisa-vasool entertaining movie that will enthrall you for sure. PK is a must and should theater watch, so book you tickets soon and catch the movie on the big screen.
Firstpost
Film review ·
On the face of it, PK is a simple, sweet family entertainer that has its heart in the right place and wants everyone to live happily ever after. It's also one of the braver films we've seen from commercial Bollywood because of Hirani doesn't shy away from pointing a steady finger at those who would inflame communal tensions for petty, personal gain. Somewhere under Hirani's seemingly sweet and harmless exterior, is an angry, disappointed and disillusioned man. He doesn't appear in the film promotions, but he's the one making the films in which people take on the ugliness of the real world and defeat it. Their weapon of choice: optimism that just won't give up, no matter how messed up everything may be. However, it's telling that the one who wields that weapon in PK is an alien who just wants to get off this planet.
IndiaTvNews
Film review ·
Now while its storyline is fascinating, PK has ample surprises which unfold layer by layer remarkably. But one thing, which needs to be made clear is that PK is not a out an out comedy-caper as its trailer and songs have hinted towards yet carrying the same thought-process while stepping into the theatres won't disappoint you. While there is a serious subject Rajkumar Hirani is dealing with and his ways of presenting the entire issue turns out to be humorous.
Jagran
Film review ·
Rajkumar Hirani has succeeded in giving social message and dealing with the critical issue of religion with such innocence and humour. The blend of humour, drama and emotions has worked well for the 'PK', making it the most successful film of the year.
Komal Nahta's Blog
Film review ·
PK is an outstanding entertainer with a strong message relevant to all human beings. It will easily prove to be one of the biggest Bollywood blockbusters, probably, the biggest also. It has all chances to emerge as the first film to cross the Rs. 300-crore mark.
LiveMint
Film review ·
PK is a dialectic on religion on the big screen, without much of the splendour of cinematic technique. It is rooted to dialogues, scenes and characters, as does Hirani's other films. But the director's biggest feat is the idea, its effortless translation and its politics. Someone in the broad stroke canvas of populist Hindi cinema has finally spoken on behalf of the agnostic. Given the news headlines, how much more relevant could that get?
Masala
Film review ·
I won't rate the film because to capture genuine efforts of a genuine filmmaker like Hirani in numbers will be unfair. So go watch the film. Like it or dislike it. But be fearless to question it as well, just like PK does, unapologetically, unabashedly in the film.
Reuters
Film review ·
The message might be noble, but the narrative is weak, and this is perhaps the weakest of Hirani's films. His trademark humour is sparse; and inspite of Anushka Sharma's spirited portrayal of a reporter who helps PK, and Khan's over-earnest performance as the protagonist, the film is a tedious watch.
The Hindu
Film review ·
Hirani's PK is no doubt a very important and relevant film for all of us who have suffered enough due to communal tensions, fanaticism, polarisation and even heartless terrorism. Like all Hirani films, the second half relies on the hero becoming a champion of social reform via media with doses of drama and feel-good by asking the right questions, all predictably intercut with weeping viewers intensely touched by the points made.

PK, another fine movie from Rajkumar Hirani. Heavy message presented in a light manner. So many messages are conveyed symbolically, and so many are conveyed directly. Every dialogue hit me hard. The movie leads to lot of introspection. Aamir Khan (PK) plays an alien who is on earth (Rajasthan) to research about the human beings. The moment he lands on earth, all naked, with a child like curiosity, his 'remote' to send signals to his planet is being snatched by a person. The scene shifts to a foreign land where Anushka (Jaggu) is seen to be negotiating for a ticket to witness the show of Amitabh Bachchan reciting Big Bachchan. Anushka falls in love with Sushant (Sarfaraz), a Pakistani boy. Later Anoushka is shown working for a TV news channel. The encounter between Jaggu and PK is interesting, where PK is distributing the pamphlets in Metro Rail (New Delhi) for 'Missing Gods'. The scenes are hilarious as well as interesting. Digs are taken on so many subjects. The desperation of a news channel to even make a depressive dog's story as breaking news is shown. PK's role forces one to think. He comes up with so much of innocence, who has altogether a different outlook towards things and life. He shares his journey of learning on earth to Jaggu, which has so many elements. He collects dress for himself from the 'Dancing Car'. He slowly understands that all the human beings have the same type of skin but their dressing, style makes them look different. His amusement on the diversity is also beautifully depicted. He also feels that people on his planet are so truth-loving and non-complicated, but on earth, things are just not in order. On his planet, people don't talk, they just touch the other person and get to know what is on that person's mind. But on earth, PK feels that people even after communicating directly don't understand one another. PK gets confused at the usage of a single word for expressing different feelings. PK's efforts to buy carrots with Mahatma Gandhi's photograph in newspaper, book cover etc. and later with the currency forces us to think – is actually Mahatma Gandhi alive only on currencies? He gets amused by seeing God's houses in every street and that too with so much of diversity. In PK's language, God has managers who are running different companies (different religions) and have different set of rules for running the company. There is a scene, where PK goes desperately from God to God, temple to church to mosque to gurudwara, so that he is able to get back his lost remote. When he understands the diversities of the religion, he tries to check, whether God stamped children as Hindu-Muslim-Christian- Sikh. A great insight. Absolute delight to watch these scenes. PK talks of two Gods: One is the God who made us and another one is the God whom we made. PK doesn't question the belief in God but he definitely questions the blind faith upon God-like people for whom it is another way of money-making business. PK makes us reflect.

PK. Returning after celebrating the colossal success of 3 Idiots, Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan take you to the another journey of introspection amid all the cinematic fun. Raju picks the sensitive issue of faith and religion. As usual, his hero is an outsider, actually he is alien to earth this time. Using his quick wit and with the help of master act of Aamir Khan, he creates a series of funny and though provoking scenes asking you if your faith is in God who created humans or God who was created by humans. There is terrific first half, a post interval portion with the 'been there done that" feeling and a heart wrenching climax which sums up the things on a high note. Anushka Shrama, Sushant Singh Rajput, Boman Irani and Saurabh Shukla provide good support but movie belongs to Aamir Khan who never misses a beat while playing this difficult alien act. This is not the best of Raju's lot but it is much better than so many other offerings of Bollywood. I am going with mind blowing 9 out of 10 for PK. This one is brave, funny, thought provoking and pure Rajkumar Hirani brand fun so have faith and watch PK.
- AntarikshaDec 20149/10
Peekay is a brave creative visual put into action by RHF,the ploy of bringing an alien to change our ways of thinking and acting according to it is Simply outstanding.This movie has all the ingredients,it is simply a pure blend of comedy and mixed emotions at times.The stranger's childlike curiosity and world-view challenges people's long-held notions the way he treats this world simply changes everyone's opinion.The movie is as unique as the name suggests.I would suggest everyone to watch this film atleast once.
- Tejas NairApr 20153/10
Starting off with a cleavage-revealing, poem-loving Indian Jaggu (Anushka Sharma masquerading as Donald Duck), the story hits the cliché bumper right at the beginning. In a Belgian city infested with Hindi-speaking Indians, she falls in love with a Pakistani (typecast Sushant Singh Rajput), which, of course, her pious family prohibits. Following another cliché, which is made to not look like a cliché at a later period, Jaggu becomes a TV reporter out of thin air. Then comes the alien and helps her ante up the viewer ratings of the channel she works for. The alien PK (Aamir Khan), all his characteristics a gimmick, from his language to his nuances, acts so dumb, I started losing faith in science as well. Jaggu's family is forgotten both by Jaggu and the audience, only to be reminded later by the shaky screenplay. This personality, which is supposed to intrigue the audience, asks certain questions we already have heard before. He tries to answer these questions like an Engineering student answering in an oral examination. The similarity: diplomacy. He quickly acclimatizes himself according the traits of human beings and that is when Hirani's fading creativity emerges into the silver screen. PK lands in Rajasthan where humans are busy sharing bodily liquids in cars with open windows. Even if it was a way of addressing the issue, I'm afraid the film should be categorized as an NGO or even better "the moral police." PK successfully addresses issues such as Pakistan-India conflicts, value of Gandhiji as a figure in currency notes, God's existence, culture, tradition, religious orientations, religion per se, religious practices, marriage, sex, terrorism (at a laughable juncture), cigarette smoking, and alcohol consumption (to name a few). But it never absolves the purportedly guilty audience by providing any answers, hacks, or tweaks to sort out or cleanse these issues. Much like how ineffective the statutory warnings that play before the beginning of Indian movies are, PK, as a celluloid, fails to pull itself together and emphasize on a point. The direction is fine, but the ridiculous screenplay contributes to an array of goof-ups, and eventually gives birth to nonsense. Many primary characters in the film are seen laughing in most of the frames, probably to remind the audience to laugh along, because as far as an agnostic like me is concerned, I may have chuckled 2-3 times. The narration tries so hard to induce humor, it ends up exhausting itself. BOTTOM LINE: Other than blatant addresser of few serious issues, PK could best be described as a united advertisement for Duracell batteries, monsterjobs.com, Vijay Sales, and Maruti SX4 which all had the single advantage of being endorsed by Aamir Khan, arguably an epitome of creative-guy-to-naive-guy story.

Hirani Is A Genius.. This Is Entertaining Movie With Many Messages.. Though, The Ending Is Not Convincing
- Midhun Ben Thomas (Dilseben)Sept 20168/10
Bollywood stars are known for their preference for certain festivals for the release of their movies be it Id, Diwali etc. Among the Khans, Aamir has always had a predilection for X'mas which has seen many of his releases in the recent past such as "3 Idiots" & "Dhoom 3". The latest to join that list is Rajkumar Hirani's "PK" whose films apart from being clean entertainers has always been blockbusters. So naturally there's a palpable amount of hype & expectations over "PK" but will it be able to match the the benchmark they had set in "3 Idiots"??? An alien (Aamir Khan) had landed on Earth or rather more specifically in the dust bowls of Rajasthan in his birthsuit. But even before he gets accustomed to the bearings around him, he is robbed of his pendant which happened to be the transmitter to signal his spaceship. In due time, he becomes to be known as PK (as people thought he was tipsy), learns to converse through the use of his super-natural powers & befriends Bhairon Singh (Sanjay Dutt), a band master who helps him to adjust to his new environment.On the advise of Bhairon, PK lands in New Delhi in search of his pendant & that's when he catches the eye of Jaggu (Anushka Sharma), a TV reporter who promises to help him out. So will PK get his pendant back & if so, at what cost??? Almost 5 years have passed since Rajkumar Hirani had made his presence felt, but the wait was definitely worth it as he has come back with a bang. All of his movies have been satires that dealt with insecurities & adversities that people face in their lives either due to corruption, educational pressure etc . The same holds true here as well as this time around he has taken on the fake godmen that swarm our society. Though Paresh Rawal's "Oh My God" had a similar storyline & felt more impressional, "PK" too has its moments in its own way especially in the first half which really hooks us on; for which the screenplay by Abhijit Joshi & Hirani deserves praise. The music by the trio of Ajay Atul, Shantanu Moitra & Ankit Tiwari was impressive while the visuals by Muraleedharan was fine. Aamir Khan is the heart & soul of the movie and he was bang on in the portrayal of the character. His peculiar looks, weird attire & queer running style all added on to his performance making it undoubtedly one of the best characters that he has ever portrayed. Anushka Sharma was equally impressive & makes her presence felt with a meaty role at her disposal. Boman Irani was wasted, Sanjay Dutt was endearing while Saurabh Shukla & Sushanth Singh have done justice to their roles. As for Ranbir Kapoor, he brought the roof down with a cameo. Verdict: The film is expected to do brisk business at the box office considering the team that was behind the venture. In addition, the film has also lived upto Hirani's USP by being both humorous yet introspective to the vices around us. Though the second half especially the climax lacked the expected punch it's definitely one of the best movies to have released this year, so dont miss it!!! Rating: 4/5 Regards...Ben

- Shashwat SisodiaSept 20198/10
PK by Rajkummar Hirani is easily one of the strongest films this year. Based on the religious objectification of Indian culture, the film stars Aamir Khan as an alien into the alien lands in India, who learns Bihari language from a prostitute and talks like that now. He meets Jaggu or Jagat Janani, a reporter with some life issues and with her help, questions the legitimacies of religion-based propaganda. This is one of the most powerful social comedies ever made in Indian cinema. And Aamir Khan pulls off one of his career-best performances. And it is also candyfloss entertainment where there is romance and melodrama, but they never come in the way of effective social storytelling. It's 4 stars for 'PK'. Make sure you watch it. Its funny, resonant, romantic and powerfully important.
- Kumar PalMay 20231/10
This is not a movie. It is totally a propaganda I would love to call. I think worst of Bollywood ever as well as worst of Aamir and RK Hirani. This is never a realistic or an entertaining movie. So sad Bollywood, can make some social movie for our country. So disappointed by them!! They are also sold to the anti national elements.
