The alien befriends Bhairon Singh (Sanjay Dutt) who assumes the alien is
simply a person suffering a memory loss. Singh helps the alien get
accustomed to the village. The alien has the ability to transfer a person's
memory to his own brain by holding that person's hands and, hence, he
attempts to learn the local language through this technique. However, he
finds out that just grabbing the hands of a stranger, whether male or
female, is not accepted, and since he does not speak the language yet, he
is unable to explain what he wants. Singh, who interprets this alien's
behavior as sexual interest, takes him to a brothel. Over there, the alien
holds a prostitute's hand for several hours, and thus learns the language.
The alien travels to Delhi as he is informed that it is most likely the place
where his stolen device would be sold. Due to his strange behaviour, the
people in the city assume him to be tipsy and refer to him as PK. Delhi
turns out to be a very large city, and people tell him that only God can help
him find the device. However, PK is confused by the various religions and
their own different understandings of God. PK later discovers that a
godman, Tapasvi Maharaj (Saurabh Shukla), has his device. However, the
godman falsely claims to have attained it from the Himalayas, and refuses
to return it to PK.
In this whole process, PK falls in love with Jaggu but chooses not to tell her
as she loves Sarfaraz. Recording tapes with her voice in them, he fills his
suitcases with batteries to be constantly able to hear them on his home
planet. While departing, he lies to Jaggu regarding the content of the tapes.
Jaggu, having found out the true content of the tapes, painfully keeps quiet.
Jaggu later publishes a book about PK and, at a book reading, claims that
she misses him deeply due to the memories he has left her with and the
impact he had made on her life.
The movie ends with PK coming back on Earth a year later for more
research with another alien (Ranbir Kapoor).
