PK (2014)

PK (2014) - (India)

Co-written, edited and directed by Rajkumar Hirani

*SPOILER FREE

I always had a fantasy of all people living on planet earth coming together for one massive eventful day and during that day there's going to be a film screening, and I often wondered from all the cinematic experience I have accumulated from the far east to the fat west which film would be the best for all humans to watch together. In 2014, I knew which one.

PK is a sci-fi black-comedy drama following a humanoid alien who loses his way after landing on earth during a research mission. He meets a television journalist and becomes fond of her as he engages in the world of man.

Exploring culture, tradition, faith and religion. And examining social awkwardness and controversy.

After the acclaimed success of the coming-of-age drama "3 Idiots (2009)", genius filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani - with only a handful of films to his name - crafts a cinematic masterpiece that's both highly artistic and exceedingly entertaining.

Captivating narrative, outstanding acting and choreography, awesome music, and masterful cinematography, costumes, and set design.

Aamir Khan - with the second collaboration with Hirani - gives a performance of a lifetime expanding a career of brilliance and quality as one of the finest actors in the Indian subcontinent.

PK is a meditative satire on the human experience. A thought-provoking comedy and tragedy that provides an outside view to the wickedness and shortcomings of man.

Honorable mention: 3 Idiots (2009)

Available to watch on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video
