A path-breaking, thought-provoking film that compels you to think. Here are few life lessons we learn from PK:
1) Believe in God, Not in Godmen- At a time when children are being massacred in the name of religion, a film that challenges the concept of different Gods seems to be the need of the hour. In India, one can find Godmen and his followers in every corner. They are like managers who pretend to be close to God. "PK" brought out the marketing gimmicks of such Godmen and questioned them about religion.
2) God has made the universe, He doesn't need anyone to take care of Him- When a Godman in the film says he is there to take care of God, then "PK" replies God has made the whole universe and he doesn't want anyone to look after Him.
3) Religion is all about fashion- For an alien who lands buck naked from his gola (planet), it is difficult for PK to understand what is the basis of the religious classification. He derives that religion must be all about fashion, after all it is by the clothes and appearance that those around determine if a certain person is a Hindu or a Muslim. The endearing manner in which he comes to this conclusion is absolutely delightful.
4) Let go of the one you love, if need be- He is not from this planet but he understands love better than humans. Perhaps with his higher intelligence and telepathic abilities, PK learns the language of love and masters it too. Letting go of the one you love is the most difficult thing to do but PK, with his wide-eyed innocence, manages to do just that.
