The film is set for a strong first weekend at the box office and is expected to hold steady Monday onwards too. PK is also likely to take advantage of the Christmas holiday on Thursday.
PK has now collected Rs 57 crore in 2 days. Update on Sunday business coming up in a few minutes, stay tuned!
PK Collections

Film is trending just like HAIDER….Multiplexes are contributing huge….Mass areas are dull to average.
PK REVIEW: A hard-hitting satire which flies till first half and crawls in the second:
Rajkumar Hirani is back after the terrific 3 idiots. Does he live up the expectations?
The answer is Yes and No. With PK, he tells us a better story, a more hard-hitting social comment, giving up on his 3 film old, feel- good formula. PK is difficult to gauge by genre. It is a satire at times, and later a rehash of the typical ManMohan Desai films. Yet it never loses it’s optimism.
PK has no strong supporting cast. No Circuit. No Chatur, No Dr.Ashtana. It is a one man show. What works for PK is its unpredictable humor which is genuinely funny.
What happens when a stranger who has no clue about religion mixes everything up? The film’s terrific first half mostly follows journey of PK who tries to learn religions, religiously. Laughs are drawn from nowhere and the premise seems rock solid. So solid that it can make Munna Bhai MBBS look like an average film.
The slump begins in second half particularly after 20 minutes when the stage is set for confrontation of Good V/s Bad. You can’t help but recall ‘OMG Oh MY God’ where the same things were told through the eyes of an atheist. The end in particular is full of ridiculous melodrama and over-the-top emotions which are seen in all the Hirani films.
However, this time the ending isn’t as corny as 3 idiots. It is certainly an ambitiously flawed attempt to tell a unique story, but what goes in favor of PK is the impeccable Aamir Khan! He throws himself into pk to an extent that you actually overlook the outrageously silly second half of the film.
Special mention for the extra-ordinary dialogue writing in the first half, where almost every scene evokes genuine emotion. Watch out for the ‘Bhagwaan Hai kaha re tu’ song. A song which moves you to the core without manipulating you.
Final Words: Movie is strictly for those who have open mind. Won’t call it as good as Munna Bhai films, but PK is easily one of the better films this year. It takes the ‘OMG’ theme and executes it in the first half to a whole new level. Don’t miss it!
Rating: 7.5/10
Flato movie ..somehow indicine is buttering it up for no reason
Big growth on Saturday and Sunday will be Bigger than sat coz of fantastic word of mouth
Aamir Khan Fooling people by showing Omg Remake Nothing New Only 1st part is Good Nothing Special About Movie Just Overhyped
Positive trend already showing. On its way to becoming the highest grossing film of the year!
p.k is sure shot atbb it will be a first 300 cr. movie p.k wom is outstanding everwhere
Hopes this becomes successfull
Some people on comments section are liars here coz they said yesterday that collections of Saturday dropped compared to Friday but in reality the growth is big
Only first weekend is huge huge because ticket price is so high
After weekend its phuss and then came 2nd crap movie tever
And then real Strom came who called by BABY
Dolly ki dolly change your release date otherwise you know what happened.
So what even Humshakal also jump on saturday n sunday respectively, talash also did same, n rest is history, pk is also going same way #boycottpk
@Kingshuk we should be honest now.Collections showed growth coz mass centres have picked up now which was low on friday.All single screens near my house are almost housefull today
Pk weeknd some how similar to singham returns n lifetime also remain similar to singham returns despite hike tick price lol #boycottpk
This is my personal opinion this movie as a whole product not to that standard.
All the character reminded me of 3 idiots.
Farhan Dad I still feel Mr. Qureshi more than Jaggus superstitious father.
Below the belt humor, boman irani Unnecessary putting his pant down to force to laugh
Sushant singh behavior cannot be digesting easily when he leave Anushka berserk, his innocence in first frame impact full than his strange behavior (total filmy) and wrapped up so quickly.
Raju Hirani more concern on Pk character (Amir khan the super star) rather than tightening the plot in second half.
The introduction scene of Amir khan (nude no need) so tacky like B grade movie and clothes lifting secenes are seems vulgur…not approved to family audinces and even barber scene its crap valgur am shocked with hHirani and Amir..crap.
Pk transforms language from prostitute is this really necessary!!!! Prostitute..oh common…
Second half directed by someone else rather than Raju hirani moreover heavily resemblance of OMG.
Lastly, Raju and Amir try to preaching us god and godmen relationship but he himself pick up his lucky mascot (superstitious) characterisation from Munna bhai to 3 Idiots to make sure the Movie going to hit.
Totally disappointed by Hirani and Amir waste of time and money. My rating is 2 star.
unlike the outrightly rejected HNY (haklu’s new year) p.k will do great business and should be the 3rd 200 crore grosser this year after kick & hny, haven’t watched the film because of my busy schedule but my friends who have watched it have said that it is a movie which shouldn’t be missed at any cost and though it is more or less similar to one of my favourite movies OMG! i would watch it this week. Reviews & wom is also pretty good and this movie deserves to earn more than the rubbish crappy new year & the year’s biggest BB- kick, so fingers crossed :)l

Now all eyes on baby
@Gauravv, loved your review! 7.5/10 means 3.75/5 .
Had they brought some modifications in 2nd half, PK would have become the best movie of 2014! Still I feel it’s among the best 3-5 !
Filmistaan is the most underrated movie of 2014. I would request all to watch it.
Pk is one of the best movie …. Dont know y some people r blaminG its second half n yes lil bit theme is same from omg but it is in excellent way … Its like u r ready to see sane romantic movies n same stories again and again but u dont want to see two good movies with good msgs huh haters this is how a movie should be a paisa vasoool show
@akki – baby your akki 60 cr. superstar p.k weekend and baby lifetime will be equel
wohhooooo now haters baj gayi today will cross 35cr and after that weekdays will be super strong as wom is great people are just loving and giving standing ovation to the movie.as you can check imdb rating its 9 out of 10 by far the best rating for any movie in 2014.pk will surely cross 300cr wait n watch.
@baby that will be flop even multiplwx audience will not go to baby itis baseless movie forgetabout collections in single screens even 80cr is impossible for baby movie of baby star lol.
@Nipun
Thanks! I have decided to rate movies out of 10. 3.75/5 looks cheesy. Out of ten, it gives more space.
I’d rate 3I as 7.5/10 Lage raho as 8 and Mbbs as 8.5.
PK had tremendous repeat value. Trust me, it’ll go like 3 idiots. whenever they show 3I on TV, I watch it till first half and after that only the incredible confrontation of Farhan and his father + Raju’s interview. Rest, I skip it. Same will go with PK. Some scenes are out of the world, some are ridiculous.
Pk…….
Amir best performance….
Anshuka average performance
Susant good performance
Saju baba small role
Ranbir comeo good
Music
Music is average to below average
Background score good
Songs
Songs not catchy but bhagawan tu kaha hai i like songs
First half Raju style comedy and entertain me, i like
2nd half huge down but better than HNY. similarly OMG.
If pk release in 2012 nobody can stop being 300cr.
For me 4 star. Lack of repeat watch.
For me best movie of Raju are
M.B.B.S
3 IDIOT
LRM then
PK.
i hope cross 200cr collection.
PK movie is like OMG! Oh My God but I enjoyed because of Amir and Raju
@bulli — You believe what you want to believe…according to BOI its the multiplex which is contributing…single screens were in same range as Friday which was average to poor.
Thank god there iz no controversy surrounding pk if srk in that typ of movie peoplw will surely make it issue of that
@Kinshuk Dont talk of BOI and follow only indicine.Our kings movie hny not collected 200 according to boi
