pk movie : Today I watched, the long awaited, most anticipated Hindi movie, Aamir Khan starrer pk, which was released yesterday.
the movie starts with Jagat Janani (Anushka Sharma)
narrating a story that she experienced. it starts with her love life,
after having a disappointing love experience in Belgium she comes back
to Delhi, where she works in a news channel. when she was in a desperate
search for some hot news, she accidentally finds a strange looking man
who was in search of God.
Jaggu [Jagat Janani
] finds him as interesting, so she follows him and tries to understand
him. It turns out that the stranger is an alien. what follows is a
aliens experience on earth. pk [Aamir
Khan] as they call him, finds everything strange in the new place. the
questions arises in his mind about the people of the earth and the way
the live, starting from wearing dress, money, religion and God
everything looks new and strange from him.
when
pk seeks a solution for the problem that he is facing, everyone tells
him that only God can help him. so pk decides to find the God who can
solve his problem. during course in finding the God he slowly
understands the complexities involved in religion and God. the first
half of the movie is very thought provoking and funny.
the second half is about how pk solves his problem and what happenes to Jaggu's love. second half bit more dramatic than the first half.
all
those rational and intellectual people that I admired came into my mind
when I was watching the film. watching pk is like watching myself on
the mirror and talking to myself. that is how I felt, because what ever
the questions that I had and the answers that I found for these
questions from past a decade or more and the arguments that I had with
friends and family members about our religious beliefs and the customs
that we follow, I could see all those things in the movie.
pk
is a movie with the right mix of entertainment, emotion and message. it
will question your beliefs and the way of life. it is thought provoking
and funny.
Rajkumar Hirani's
typical way of telling a story of serious subject in a humorous way. pk
is a satire. it questions everything from god to religion. the movie is
not against religion or God but it is against the bad things happening
in the name of religion and god. how some selfish individuals cheat
people by using their fear and problem of their life to make money in
the name of god and religion. the blind beliefs that people follow.
the
game that we play in the name of religion, to show that we belong to a
particular religion is something that ridiculed me over the years.
starting from the name, or having something in our four head or having
beard or putting something on your head to show that we belongs to
particular religion. all these games that we play in our society is
showcased in the film.
when it comes to performance, needless to say that Aamir
Khan steels the show with his acting. his different look and body
language with the unblinking large green eyes and big ears and Bhojpuri slang [which I found it difficult to understand] Aamir Khan justifies his role as pk the alien.
Anushka has done her job well so does Sanjay Dutt, Bomman Irani, Sorabh Shukla and Sushant Singh Rajput.
The film's soundtrack is composed by Shantanu Moitra, Ajay-Atul and Ankit Tiwari with lyrics are penned by Swanand Kirkire, Amitabh Varma and Manoj Muntashir. I can say that the songs are so good but they go along with the movie without disturbing the narration.
So once again Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani combo repeated their magic with pk after 3 Idiots. we have to appreciate the film cast and crew for their wonderful attempt.
pk
provokes us to reevaluate the values that we believe in and the kind of
life that we are living. we need to take a alien look at our life and
our belief system by stepping outside of it. taking larger and broader
view of things to understand it better.
pk is a must watch. don't miss it.
