Rajkumar
Rajkumar
Hirani
is
back
in
the
multiplexes
after
a
five-year
hiatus
and
the
wait
has
been
worth
it.
PK,
the
writer-director's
fourth
directorial
venture,
is
a
wonderful
piece
of
cinema
that,
pretty
much
like
his
much-loved
Munnabhai
films,
blends
heart
and
head
with
commendable
mastery.
PK
PK
is
a
fearless
critique
of
religious
bigotry
and
the
ways
of
India's
proliferating
Godmen,
but
the
film's
message
is
shorn
of
rancour
and
bitterness.
It
is
instead
cloaked
in
humanity
and
humour,
which
accentuates
its
impact
no
end.
Screenplay
The
screenplay,
written
by
Hirani
and
Abhijat
Joshi,
takes
make-believe
elements
on
one
hand
and
draws
upon
the
realities
of
our
times
on
the
other
to
deliver
a
fantasy
so
unique
and
original
that
it
takes
your
breath
away.
PK
Story
PK
delivers
an
entertaining
tale
that
touches
upon
the
social
and
political
ills
that
plague
us
but
it
does
so
without
falling
out
of
line
with
the
need
to
keep
the
story
simple
and
straightforward.
God
Fearing
Indian
People
PK
is
a
film
that
restores
one's
faith
in
the
much
maligned
Bollywood
idiom.
It
demonstrates
that
the
so-called
clichéd
conventions
of
Mumbai's
popular
cinema
can,
in
hands
as
able
as
Hirani's,
yield
entertainment
of
the
very
highest
pedigree.
Villian
The
villain
in
PK
isn't
your
average
Bollywood
baddie.
He
is
a
godman
who
thrives
on
the
incredulity
of
his
followers,
but
when
confronted
with
the
prospect
of
being
shamed
on
the
set
of
a
television
show,
he
does
not
unleash
a
battery
of
goons
as
such
characters
are
wont
to
do
in
a
Hindi
movie.
PK
Film
PK
is,
after
all,
a
Rajkumar
Hirani
film,
and
nothing
that
it
delivers
hinges
on
devices
that
have
done
to
death.
Ranbir
Kapoor
It
springs
surprises
at
every
turn,
not
the
least
among
of
which
is
a
very
special
appearance
by
Ranbir
Kapoor.
Entertaining
Movie
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.
Karan
Johar
PK
yet
again
proves
that
Rajkumar
Hirani
is
the
best
director
of
our
country...it's
undoubtedly
Aamir
Khans
best
performance
to
date....#PK
