  • PK : 2 days collections overseas! HAHAHA.
    despite having the advantage of most holidays and raju hirani BRAND EVEN FAILED to beat MNIK opening. Meanwhile SRK masala movies CE AND hny did record breaking Business in overseas market. Masala movies which aren’t very popular among the international audiences and are usually disliked; SRK hence again proves his stardom… telll Aamir to work with ABhishek to give opening…

  • shahrukh’s overseas popularity is overrated. love stories are always successful there which is why even babul and salaam-e-ishq were overseas hits but flop in india. Overseas success dependent on the genre of movies

  • SRK is the only actor whose masala films opens record breaking in overseas… PK being a overseas friendly, with Number one director of bollywood + Best Release Date for OS still failed to break ?#?CE? & ?#?HNY? opening in overseas…..

  • What is right about PK?
    PK shows dhongi baba as false…
    PK shows do not believe if someone like baba shows up and threatens you about GOD
    PK shows not only Hindu but satires to all religions..

    I don’t know why Hindus are reacting too much… Since the one that should react is Muslims and
    Christians….

    U know why??
    PK tells both Mohammad and Jesus are FRAUD!!!!

    Think again… Watch PK again!!!

  • PK Review:

    After watching PK…one must say Raj Kumar Hirani without any doubts is No.1 director in the Bollywood Today. A 4 movie old director takes Bollywood movies to such an standard that puts all big names in Bollywood into shame. Why does Bollywood takes so long to produce a good entertainer. This is something because we never push them to do so. Doing action masala movies repeatedly is denting the Bollywood standards big time. However who cares about them unless you get your money back.

    Coming to PK: It is not the best movie of Aamir Khan or Raj Kummar Hirani, but it is far by the best movie this year. A big star cast with good message and entertainer is all that is expected and you get it.

    The first half of the movie reminds you of Terminator, Koi Mil Gaya but with never seen avatar of human minded alien who loses his signal transmitting device that communicates with his spaceship. Rest of first half deals with how he goes on searching for it. He ends up praying to all GODS to get the device back. When he fails, he tries to send convey an message in society that you need to get your logic’s right while executing any activity instead of praying to GODS.To support this, the movie has a love story that has Anushka and Sushant. Sanjay Dutt was good in his supporting role. This movie has its part of let downs as well in terms of entertainment. But strong content takes it to a safe level…

    Coming to positives and negatives:
    Positives:
    1) Raj Kumar Hirani Direction/Execution – He is the ultimate Hero of the movie, who tries to bring a strong message through a never seen before story. Hats off…
    2) Aamir Khan: No one can be so perfectionist in executing any role as he does. His was a top-notch performance…
    3) Story – I always like to see never seen before things. I am totally against those routine action masala’s. PK’s story is very good..

    Negatives:
    1) Songs are big letdown. Not even one song is catchy on which you can go gaga.
    2) Sushant wasted. Hardly in movie for 10 minutes. After Kai Po Che expectations from him is more.
    3) 2nd half should have been more entertaining.

    Over and over the movie is good interesting watch with strong content and strong performances… A must see…I go with a rating of 3.5 stars of 5.

  • Dhoom 3 – dhoom brand + christmas
    PK – return of 3 idiots team + christmas.

    So it isn’t solely down to aamir. Talash, that didn’t have the above factors, wasn’t a big hit overseas.

  • Just watched PK film.Here comes My Review.
    Pk Is undoubtly the most awaited film of the year due to Brand Raju Hirani attached to it.With Superstar like Aamir,Talented Shushant and Anushka,Lovable Munnabhai.Does movie lift to the expectation.Let’s find out.
    Aamir is an alien who came to earth but not able to go back to his planet due to circumstances.His most important thing is theft and he was in search for them.In his journey he met with Sanjay duty and Anushka Dharma.There is also a love connection of Sushant and Anushka.The whole of the plot is written that how pk sees the world from his senseblity.How he able to get his lost thing back we get to know at the climax of the film.
    Pk has been directed by Best director of our times Raju Hirani.He did very good work as the director not not up to his standard which is very high.The film is hilarious in first half that how Pk juggles between religion and God to get his things back.But problem start in second half where he didn’t able to keep viewers interest like first half.It doesn’t mean that second half is bad or averages but it is strictly good not excellent like first half and the biggest reason was the similarity with OMG which was a superb satire on same topic.If PK comes early than OMG this 2nd half could be major strength of pk.
    Overall the screenplay was very good.
    Also Aamir-Anushka love track can be avoided.
    Coming to performances PK is Aamir Khan show all the way.The way he speaks,his expression and body language,his cuteness everything is just perfect,no one can do this role better than him.By far his best performance since 3i.Best from this year.
    Anushka was fantastic as jaggu,she had a lengthy and important character.Saurabh shukla was first rate but I hope better act from him as the talented actor he is.Boman Irani and shushant has very limited role and both were good.Sanjay Duty Cameo was vest among the supporting cast.He was superb as Rajasthani band wala.
    Music was not popular but it goes well with mood of the film,Bhagwan kahah h re tu is stand out,its picturization was damn perfect and it simply gives the theme of the film.
    Cinematography,location everything was great.Back ground score is excellent and complement the situation well.
    So overall PK is comes as a slight disappointment for me if I compare with munns bhai and specially 3i but still it is by far the best film of the year,here I am talking about commercial films which appeal large section of audiences.
    At last when the movie ends and credit rolls Crowd has given clapping and ovation to film which is symbol that audience loved the film which is major stregth,I will go with 3.5/5 for the film.
    Its standard of Raju hirani that not is his best work is still better than work of any director or we can say its a spit on our film industry that we arexrely only one director who can entertain a vast majority of audience with the film.
    Final work PK is definitely a superb film which has potential to be highest grosser as well as Significant film for Bollywood.
    If you guys are interested in well intentioned humor and great cinema,You won’t disappointed with PK but don’t compare it with 3i.
    Must watch.

  • Super strong start- it will only get better- UK figures are impressive too- proud to recommend to work friends that they should watch PK as was not the case in 2009 when I regrettably ignored 3 idiots but saw it on tv months later and wished I had seen it on the big screen in its full glory… Watch PK soon even if its in second week where prices may drop as such movies are for the big screen experience only….

  • That is a brilliant thing to listen after so much negativity . After 2009 Aamir is emerging as a huge crowd puller in overseas markets . Glad to see PK breaking the Single Day records in North America . The movie cannot be called as flawless but still it is better than Kick and HNY featuring the other 2 Khans .

  • Just 2 day before on 18th, I said it is last day of celebration for Aamir haters,And I know I was right.
    When the first day figures out,people start to say movie failed blah blah,now look the figures guys.
    2 year earlier Dabangg 2 released on 21 DEC 2012,it was a mass entertainer with biggest release at the time of 3500 screens,collected 60cr in first weekend domestic while it was a mass entertainer with extremely popular movie sequal.
    3 years earlier Don 2 which again a sequal of a film which prequal itself was remake released on 23rd DEC 2011, with 2700 screen (highest that time) including 350-400 3d screens, as we know 3d screen rates were higher than normal rates collected 48 cr in 3 days.
    Why I am talking about these films is because both Dabangg 2 and Don 2 was sequal of successful film having two superstar Salman and srk respectively whose fans claims they alone is ahead than anybody.Both Don 2 and Dabangg 2 were highest non holiday opener that time, now last year released Dhoom 3 became not only highest opener of non-holiday but also of all time which all India figures is still highest than any film till date.
    Now with pk when trade figure suggest 56cr also officials are also same that weekend is around 90 cr+ which is higher than trade figure of full fledged holiday rekease CE 87 cr without previews.While PK is not the biggest release ever,even Indicine admit that screen count is less than kick and hny.
    Despite being film is multiplex oriented it simply outshined the figure of last year holiday film CE still Aamir haters saying he has no stardom.
    With a sequal of successful film both srk and salman on this period just got the same faith at box office which Aamir got a brand dhoom or hirani than I don’t think there fan has any right to bash Aamir stardom.
    Even high ticket rates or other factor count the 80% higher figure than Don 2 and 50% higher dabangg 2 it suggest even in worst case pk has same footfalls which these two film had.
    Still Aamur has no stardom, an bhai issue jyada stardom to kaisi ki nahi h agar Aamir ki stardom nahi h.
    And please don’t say that Dabamgg and Don are not brand at least It has biggest two brand if Bollywood what else you want more.
    P.S.-nothing against srk and salman stardom but a strictly some fact and you can say anger of die hard Aamir fan like me.
    Guys don’t degrade someone like Aamir who from 11 years has given wonderful films back to back like Lagaan,dch,fanaa,rdb,tzp,3i,talaash and pk.
    And two big box office earner of a time with masala films Dhoom 3 and Ghajini.

  • I give 3 star for Aamir Khan.
    The concept of the movie is same as Oh My God concept.

    What movie attracts is bad for the film…why?
    Because it explains a bad concept with bad ideology….First of all the starting of the movie which shows Aamir Khan as Alien itself is the wrong concept as no one have seen alien like GOD!!! Hence the whole concept is WRONG!!
    Second it tells that the priest who talks to GOD or pretends to be one is FRAUD. That means JESUS and priest MOHAMMMAD is also FRAUD!! I dont think it would go good for Muslims and Christians….because in Hindu, many Hindus believe they are fraud itself so it wont matter that much…

    Good thing: Aamir Khan acting

  • PK has broken Dhoom 3s opening weekend record in the USA/ Canada market…! Amazing feat consideing Dhoom brand belongs to Hrithik but minus the brand Aamir still broke this record. Wiki state Dhoom 3s record at $3,423,508 and PK according to BoxOfficeMojo has collected (its estimate from 272 screens) $3,461,000

    This is way ahead of kings halloween party on Diwali that grossed $2million… Aamir rocks in the US- more records to be broken this Christmas by Aamir Khan…!

  • i think srk fans are going mad they can’t digest this fact that amir and salman are bigger superstar then their small star

  • @ranbir rocks nature of amir fans always hiding face behind salman fans of other actor fans. Tingu khan small fan base are fake atleast don’t misuse ranbir name. @iamsrk- (2006-2014) >11 Hits @aamir_khan- (1984-2014) > only 8 hits. After Reading this Alientards decide to go back to the #Marsagain

  • @Asad Khan Nasir..sun be lapadjhandis..jitna bhi bakwaas kar..PK will crush HNY in few days..so keep burning..

  • @Romu..Aamir fans have better work than spreading negativity..so keep burning you Humshakals loving Kingtard..
