A newly released film by Rajkumar Hirani
The story
An alien (Aamir Khan), with a body similar to the human
body, lands on Earth for a research mission on the human world. He gets
stranded in Rajasthan as his spaceship's remote control device gets stolen by a
villager. The alien chases the man in an attempt to retrieve his device back
but only manages to take the radio recorder of the thief. He later learns that
roaming naked on Earth isn't deemed natural. Thus, he begins stealing clothes
and money from couples having sex in cars with open windows.
The alien befriends Bhairon Singh (Sanjay Dutt) who assumes
the alien is simply a person suffering a memory loss. Singh helps the alien get
accustomed to the village. The alien has the ability to transfer a person's
memory to his own brain by holding that person's hands and, hence, he attempts
to learn the local language through this technique. However, he finds out that
just grabbing the hands of a stranger, whether male or female, is not accepted,
and since he does not speak the language yet, he is unable to explain what he
wants. Singh, who interprets this alien's behavior as sexual interest, takes
him to a brothel. Over there, the alien holds a prostitute's hand for several
hours, and thus learns the language.
The alien travels to Delhi as he is informed that it is most
likely the place where his stolen device would be sold. Due to his strange
behaviour, the people in the city assume him to be tipsy and refer to him as
PK. Delhi turns out to be a very large city, and people tell him that only God
can help him find the device. However, PK is confused by the various religions
and their own different understandings of God. PK later discovers that a
godman, Tapasvi Maharaj (Saurabh Shukla), has his device. However, the godman
falsely claims to have attained it from the Himalayas, and refuses to return it
to PK.
Meanwhile, TV reporter Jaggu (Anushka Sharma) meets a man
named Sarfaraz (Sushant Singh Rajput) while both are in Bruges. Although
Jaggu's father is strongly against a relationship between them due to Sarfaraz
being from Pakistan, Jaggu decides to marry Sarfaraz anyway in Bruges. While
she waits for Sarfaraz in the town hall, a boy delivers a letter to her that
states that the marriage is off due to their differences, with a request to
refrain making contact. Jaggu, very disappointed, leaves, discarding the letter
by leaving it there on a chair.
Later, back in India, Jaggu sees PK distributing leaflets
about a missing God. As a reporter, she is interested in this strange man, and
makes contact. PK tells her the whole story. Jaggu convinces her channel head
(Boman Irani) to make a TV show with PK, exposing Tapasvi. People in masses get
connected to the show and open their eyes against the fake godmen. Tapasvi
comes to the studio for a confrontation with PK. In the same TV show, Tapasvi
brings up Jaggu´s personal matter of her bad experience with Sarfaraz to prove
a point. Due to PK's request, Jaggu reluctantly tries to contact Sarfaraz which
leads her to call the Pakistan Embassy in Belgium. The embassy tells Jaggu that
Sarfaraz calls them daily to inquire whether Jaggu has called. It turns out
that the message in Bruges was a case of mistaken identity by the letter
delivery boy. After Jaggu left the town hall, Sarfaraz had arrived and assumed
the message was from Jaggu, for him. The misunderstanding between them gets
cleared. After hearing this, Tapasvi reluctantly gives PK his device back.
In this whole process, PK falls in love with Jaggu but
chooses not to tell her as she loves Sarfaraz. Recording tapes with her voice
in them, he fills his suitcases with batteries to be constantly able to hear
them on his home planet. While departing, he lies to Jaggu regarding the
content of the tapes. Jaggu, having found out the true content of the tapes,
painfully keeps quiet.
Jaggu later publishes a book about PK and, at a book
reading, claims that she misses him deeply due to the memories he has left her
with and the impact he had made on her life.
The movie ends with PK coming back on Earth a year later for
more research with another alien (Ranbir Kapoor). It was a fantastic movie.
