PK Movie Review - Aamir Khan Comedy Entertainer

The most anticipated film, PK marks the return of the hit Jodi of Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani after 5 years. After extensive promotions and a huge buzz with its unusual poster, this comedy caper which features Anushka Sharma as the female lead, has hit the screens today. Bollywood3 has reviewed it and let’s see how it is.



Story:

Jagat Janani aka Jaggu (Anushka Sharma) pursues her TV production course in Belgium. Sarfaraz (Sushant Singh Rajput) who hails from Pakistan is a architecture student. One fine day, they fall for each other and decide to get married. To Jaggu’s shock, Sarfaraz never turns up on their marriage day. Thinking that she got ditched, Jaggu returns to Delhi and joins a news channel.
One fine day, Jaggu happens to see an unusual man called PK (Aamir Khan). Seeing his weird nature, she follows him and comes to know about his story that he is searching for his missing object. Who is PK ? What is his story and how is it linked with a self obsessed god-man (Saurabh Shukhla)? To know the answers to these questions, you need to watch the film on silver screen.

Plus Points:

Aamir Khan, is no doubt a show-stealer. He is stupendous, and it does not mean that rest of the cast not done well. This film required a tough act and he is just brilliant with his expressions and performed his role with ease. Aamir’s funny dance moves, dialogue delivery and mannerisms are all just superb. Budding actors have to just watch his performance and learn a major part of how to go about acting.
Anushka Sharma looks pretty in her new avatar. She is a perfect fit for this film and her chemistry with Aamir is cute. Sushant Singh Rajput and Boman Irani in their short roles have given good performances. Saurabh Shukla as an evil god-man gives a commendable performance. Sanjay Dutt’s cameo is delightful and as usual he gives his best.
Most of the film is humorous and almost all the episodes have been designed well. Even though the film is a laugh riot, it has an underlying social message in it. The racy pace of the movie makes it interesting and the surprise element in the climax leaves you stunned.

Minus Points:

There are not many flaws to mention. Even though the screenplay makes it interesting, the basic story line is old and has been tried by many filmmakers. Second half of the film has the glimpses of Akshay Kumar – Paresh Rawal starrer Oh My God. Once the twist unfolds in the second half, the story gets predictable. After an entertaining and racy first half, second half gets slower in parts.

Technical Aspects:

Cinematographer Muraleedharan, who brilliantly showcased the beauty of Ladakh in 3 Idiots, has once again proved his mettle. The Rajasthani deserts, Belgium scenes and songs were shown beautifully. Songs may be just average in album, but they definitely leave a cool impression after seeing them visually and stays with you for a longer time. Editor should have concentrated a little more in the second half.
Dialogue writers need a huge applause as they are quite meaningful. Rajkumar Hirani has once again showed his directorial brilliance. He is just superb in every department and his effortless direction has taken this otherwise a normal film to another level. Even though there is good social message in this film, he presented it in a humorous manner which will definitely leave a good impression on the audience.

Verdict:

On the whole, Rajkumar Hirani’s directorial brilliance, Aamir Khan’s flawless performance and good music, makes PK a perfect paisa vasool entertainer. This comedy caper with an underlying social message is a must watch film and will surely enthrall you. Don’t miss the climax, there is a surprise which brings a smile on your face.

Movie Rating........3.5/5
