PK is a 2014 Indian comedy-drama film directed by Rajkumar Hirani and starring Asmir Khan in the

lead role. The film revolves around the character of PK, an alien who lands on earth and tries to find
his way back home. Along the way, he encounters various human customs and beliefs that he finds
puzzling and starts questioning them, leading to some humorous and thought-provoking moments.

One of the central themes of the film is the critique of blind faith and religious dogma. PK’s
encounters with different religious practices and rituals, including Hinduism. Islam, and Christianity,
highlight the absurdity of some of these customs and beliefs.For instance, PK is baffled by the idea of
idol worship and asks why people pray to a stone statue instead of the real god. He also challenges
the practice of blind obedience to religious leaders and the exploitation of people's faith for personal
gain.

Another important theme of the film is the exploration of human relationship and the importance of
empathy and comparison. PK’s interactions with various human characters, including a TV journalist
named Jaggu, a prostitute named Rosie, and a band of homeless people, show how different people
can come together and form meaningful connections despite their differences. Through these
relationships, PK learns about the power of love and the importance of helping others, and
ultimately finds a way to return home.

The film also uses humour and satire to highlight the absurdity of some of the social and political
issues in contemporary India. For instance, PK’s interaction with corrupt politicians and businessmen
show how they use religion and superstition to manipulate people and avoid accountability.

Overall, PK is an entertaining and thought-provoking film that challenges viewers to question their
beliefs and look at the world from a different perspective. It uses humour and satire to highlight
some of the social and political issues in contemporary India, and advocates for empathy,
compassion and rational thinking.
