1 Line Review: One time watch, but a must.
If you just hear Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani in one statement then you need not wait to hear anything else about a movie – Its got to be an epic. And going by what is Aamir Khan expected to do in each one of his projects, the expectations build up way to high. All this while (and even in PK) Aamir has lived upto this expectation.
But PK cannot be compared to a ‘3 Idiots’ level of epic, for 2 specific reason. Firstly, there cannot be another 3 Idiots. Period. No other movie can match 3 Idiots’ brilliance. Secondly, PK did not have the novelty. A film with a similar concept released last year – Oh My God (my review here).
PK is made with a good heart, Is funny all along, questions your blind faith and questions common sense but it came a year too late to the cinemas. Oh My God scored high for its novelty concept questions the same set of things. I loved that movie to the core. PK on the other reminded me of Oh My God time to time. Not taking away the fact that PK is funnier and Aamir’s performance is a notch above the rest.
Anushka Sharma looks gorgeous and has a critical role to play in the movie. I loved her performance and all her dresses 🙂 Sushant Singh Rajput does justice to his part and so does Suarabh Shukla as Tapasvi Maharaj. But nothing beats Shuklaji’s judge character in Jolly LLB (my review here).
The movie moved swiftly in the first half and kind of dragged in the second. Last 20 odd minutes of the movie was a total drag. It could have been better in short duration. The last 60 seconds has a surprise for you, watch out. Songs of PK are a 1 time hear, nothing great. All in all a 1 time watch.
The line that enjoyed the most – “I have been to the Moon, its a LUL place”. Also the wrong number concept flows in well.
