My Reflection Paper on PK’s movie

A naked android alien arrives on Earth for a research trip in Rajasthan, but is left
stranded after his spaceship's remote control is taken. He succeeds in obtaining the
burglar's cassette player. A Pakistani man named Sarfaraz Yousuf and an Indian
woman named Jagat Janani Sahni alias Jaggu meet on the same day in Belgium and
fall in love. Due to the religious differences between them, Jaggu's father is against their
relationship. He seeks the advice of the godman Tapasvi Maharaj, who foretells
Sarfaraz's betrayal of Jaggu. Jaggu approaches Sarfaraz with a marriage proposal,
determined to disprove them. She is devastated when she receives an unsigned letter
at the ceremony, thinking it is from Sarfaraz, canceling the wedding because of cultural
issues.

Jaggu goes back to India and starts working as a reporter. When she first encounters
the alien, she is fascinated to see him hand out pamphlets about the'missing' God. She
wins his confidence by saving him when he tries to grab cash from a temple's donation
box as payment for God's broken promises. She is informed by the alien that he is a
"astronaut" from an other world. His people communicate by holding hands; they have
no concept of attire, religion, or verbal communication.

A flashback reveals how bandmaster Bhairon Singh befriends the extraterrestrial after
the alien is unintentionally hit by a truck and accepts him into his unit. Bhairon leads him
to a brothel, where the extraterrestrial spends six hours holding the hand of a prostitute
named Phuljhadiya and learns Bhojpuri. After hearing about the entire situation from the
alien, Bhairon informs him that his thief might be in Delhi. Aliens depart for Delhi.
People mistakenly call him "peekay" or "PK," which is Hindi for "drunk," because of his
peculiar behavior; the extraterrestrial takes PK as his moniker (his people have no
language and thus no names). People claim that PK can only find his remote with
"God's" assistance. He truly follows Indian religions like Hinduism, Sikhism, Christianity,
and Islam in an unsuccessful search for "God." Later, he learns that Tapasvi is in
possession of his remote control; she argues that it was a gift from God and won't give it
back. Jaggu assures PK that she will find his remote so he can return to his house.

As Jaggu pulls a practical joke on an unidentified caller, PK speculates that Tapasvi and
other godmen must be calling the "wrong number" to talk to God and are telling people
to perform pointless rituals. By contributing their recordings to her news station, the
public is urged by Jaggu to expose false godmen. To Tapasvi's dismay, the "wrong
number" campaign develops into a well-liked mass movement. Bhairon discovers the
burglar in the meantime and contacts PK to inform him that Tapasvi bought his remote
from him. PK comes to the conclusion that Tapasvi was a phony all along and that the
"wrong number" was actually the case. When Bhairon leads the thief to Delhi, a terrorist
attack claims both of their lives.

Tapasvi chooses to challenge PK live on air. What is the "correct number?" Tapasvi
queries PK. The only idea that humans should hold dear, according to PK, is that "God
created us all," and all other "duplicate Gods" are made up. Tapasvi counters, saying
that PK is attempting to separate people from their gods and that they won't tolerate
this. In an effort to disprove Muslims' deception, he asserts that he has a direct line to
God and makes reference to his prophecy of Sarfaraz's betrayal. Following his earlier
ingestion of Jaggu's memories, PK realizes that Sarfaraz did not compose the letter to
Jaggu.

Sarfaraz works part-time in the Pakistani Embassy in Belgium, which Jaggu contacts.
The embassy receptionist informs her that Sarfaraz has been bothering the embassy
staff by continually insinuating that he still loves Jaggu by inquiring if they received a call
from Delhi. Sarfaraz discovered the same letter that day and assumed it was from
Jaggu; he chose not to call her since he recognized the strain her family was putting on
her. As Tapasvi is compelled by Jaggu's father to return PK's remote control, Jaggu and
Sarfaraz reunite.

PK, meanwhile, has a crush on Jaggu but holds back from telling her because Sarfaraz
is her boyfriend. He packs two luggage full of recordings and additional batteries when
he leaves for home because he has filled several audio tapes with her voice alone. He
tells Jaggu a lie that the tapes have a variety of sounds from Earth that he will miss,
such crows and automobile horns. By looking through the note he had previously written
for her, Jaggu recognizes his feelings for her, but she doesn't confront him about it. PK
doesn't even turn around as he walks away because he doesn't want her to see him
crying and know how much he loves her. After he departs, Jaggu writes a book about
him and collaborates with Sarfaraz and her family to publish it.

After a year, PK and additional members of his species make a fresh research
expedition to Earth for studies on human nature.
