The film deftly pokes fun at the foibles of earthlings — especially their warring religions — with warmth and compassion, and shines a light on the contradictions of India’s strict but unwritten social rules.
A biting, whip-smart satire on the thorny subject of organized religion, the Bollywood musical "PK" enlightens and provokes through outrageous slapstick.

Hands down one of the greatest, most underrated movies I've ever seen. Not only are the social norms challenged in this movie very relevant in India, but in throughout most of the world as well. Furthermore, it also had some very funny scenes without having to rely on the cliche kind of toilet humour in 3 Idiots. Instead, it manages to make comedy out of things that people take for granted. To really appreciate this, you have to watch this without reading the reviews beforehand as this movie will have a skewed rating because of how divisive it is with its jokes.

Mr. Hirani remains an excellent storyteller, weaving his disparate story strands into a convincing, satisfying whole — a rare Bollywood feat.
The most unique thing about PK was that it did something no other movies made in India has ever done, we get a lot of political thrillers, excessive amounts on love/Romance films and comedy but rarely do we get a film (in India cinema) that blatantly makes fun of religions. The fact that the main lead was supposedly an "Alien" makes it even better even though there were some issues regarding this when the film came out . Aamir Khan rarely makes movies but when he does, its best not to miss it, he is one of the finer actors in India and this movie deserves a 10/10 from me for trying to do the unthinkable..A great movie that has to be seen atleast once and superb acting by Aamir Khan..

PK is a funny, heart warming and thought provoking film. The clever use of an alien and his schenanignas doesn’t so much call out religion as those who exploit people’s faith for their own desires. The film does so through funny yet thought provoking scenarios. It isn’t attacking religion and never gives a clear answer if there is or isn’t a G-d leaving it up to interpretation. The likeable alien, ideas, songs, and heart warming story lead to a film that everyone should see.

PK is about an alien / humanoid who lands from spaceship to study about earth, but is left stranded as his gadget to connect to his spaceship is stolen. In his journey of search he experience absurdity of human race w.r.t. religions, customs, languages, attire, practices, notions, and so on. The movie shows mankind from an alien point of view and what he takes from humans and learns on earth is lying at the end.

"PK" is my very first exposure to Bollywood cinema and I have to say -- there was a fair bit for me to be impressed by in this. Some sensibilities were challenged, sure, namely my general distaste for song and dance sequences in films where they're nowhere near necessary. But it's Bollywood. What else should I have expected? I will say that what really ended up surprising me the most was what the film had to say about human mechanisms like faith, understanding and tolerance. Don't let the film's cooky exterior fool you — it muses on these themes in a surprisingly meaningful and apt fashion, even conjuring up a few genuine moments of pause for the audience throughout. Again, a lot of this really felt like a cultural adjustment for me at times, but I do understand and sympathize with the appeal overall.

PK is a good movie but the script of Oh My god was much better. The screenplay was more stronger in OMG. Amir khan performs well though. But the supporting cast has nothing much to do.
