    PK (2014) Review: An Alien's Innocent Questions About God

    PK is Rajkumar Hirani's Hindi satire in which Aamir Khan's stranded alien pokes at religious hypocrisy, pairing big laughs with a surprisingly bold argument.

    Yes. It is a funny, warm and daring crowd-pleaser, ideal for fans of Hirani's big-hearted comedies who can accept a long runtime and some preachy stretches.
