The blockbuster jodi of Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir
Khan is back. And this time, they’ve come up with a film whose name itself is
highly intriguing – PK. Before the film releases this Friday, here are 10
things about it that we are looking forward to.
Curiosity:
Ever since the first motion poster released, the film has
only sparked controversy and resultant curiosity. Some claim it’s a movie about
an alien, some call PK a stranger in the city. The curiosity around the film is
so strong, that the wait has gotten almost unbearable
Avatars
Aamir has experimented with various looks in the film: you
can see him dressed in traditional Rajasthani attire, as a police officer, as
an Englishman… his looks have further added to our yearning to watch the film
and find out what his role exactly is.
Anushka & Sushant
The film has many firsts, one of them being Anushka’s and
Aamir’s fresh pairing, along with Sushant Singh Rajput who’s working with this
team for the first time. Anushka & Sushant look adorable in the song
promos, and it’ll be interesting to see how all these new chemistries play out.
Music
Even though most songs are sung by Sonu Nigam and Shaan,
they sound refreshing because these two star singers have crooned for a movie
after a long time. The music takes us back to the soft romantic songs of the
90s, a much-needed respite in today’s party anthem era.
Sanjay Dutt
For all Sanju baba fans, there is good news. If you thought
you wouldn’t be seeing much of the actor in films for some time, PK’s promos
promise a top-notch performance from the extremely talented and stylish actor –
something we need to enjoy on the big screen.
Social Commentary
Comedy generated through an outsider’s perspective of our
lives is what PK promises to be. Raju Hirani is known for conveying a social
message through his films and this one looks like its premise was built on a
satirical theme – something our cinema needs to focus much more on.
Fun
Along with the social message we’ll take home, there will be
moments of immense laughter and fun throughout the film, evidence being this
scene where PK is seen causing himself some unnecessary trouble.
Rajkumar Hirani
Arguably the best director in the country, Raju Hirani has
sat on the director’s seat after a gap 5 long years. No one knows what took him
so long to return to what he does best, but what we do know is that we’re not
going to miss this one for anything!
Supporting Cast
With the highly dependable bundle of talent that is Boman
Irani and what looks like a vivacious Saurabh Shukla in the promos, the
supporting cast in PK, just like in all Hirani movies, will infuse new life
into the story. Hirani is especially knows to extract the finest performances
from Boman.
Nanga Punga Dost
The most famous/infamous/controversial reason to watch PK is
Aamir’s nude act. Posing with nothing but an old transistor to cover his
privates, the motion poster caused a furore, followed by a song that gave it
more context: Nanga Punga Dost.
