Somewhat repetitive and bordering on preachy, judicious trimming was needed for tighter scenes and less predictable plot devices.Īn unrequited love storyline that added nothing to the narrative was shoehorned near the end for no apparent reason. In order to keep the focus on the message, he ignores many other aspects of the movie. The strong premise and intriguing script by Rajkumar Hirani and Abhijat Joshi provide a foundation for a promising examination of contemporary values and the manner in which opportunists and 'godmen' twist them.īut Hirani's penchant for emotional manipulation removes nuance in favour of simplistic philosophy. If I were to judge PK based purely on its merits as a film, I would give it a score of 3.5/5.
