Film Synopsis
PK (Pee-Kay) is a comedy of ideas about a stranger, from galaxies away, in the city, who asks questions that no one has asked before. They are innocent, child-like questions, but they bring about catastrophic answers. People, who are set in their ways for generations, are forced to reappraise their world when they see it from PK’s innocent eyes. In the process, PK makes loyal friends and powerful foes; mends broken lives and angers the establishment. PK’s childlike curiosity transforms into a spiritual odyssey for him and millions of others. The film is an ambitious and uniquely original exploration of complex philosophies. It is also a simple and humane tale of love, laughter and letting go. Finally, it is a moving saga about a friendship between strangers from worlds apart.
Aamir Khan (main protagonist) is a Bollywood Star, lovingly called Ace of Bollywood and Mr. Perfectionist. PK box office collections crossed the £31,000,000 mark in India in just 17 days of its release in 2014. According to the Hollywood Reporter: “…the most successful Bollywood film ever in North America”
