With excellent word of mouth and positive reviews and the holidays made us venture to a movie theater. I happened to read that PK could eclipse $25 million overseas record of Hirani's 3 Idiots
Being holiday the theater was almost full for the afternoon show. I saw quite a few Indian families with children. They laughed quite a bit all through but by the second half everybody was mostly quiet, while a few applauded when PK ended.
My sense of PK was the same as that of the rest of the audience. The first half was refreshing; Aamir Khan gave a spirited performance as an alien, while he was funny having delivered the dialogues of Hirani.
All the wit and humor started to fade when PK set out to expose the hypocrisy of godman and organized religious propagandist. The whole idea of it may be that people in the name God and religion are being duped, while the godmen are amassing lots of money, from gullible public.
Some of the songs are good with beautiful locations while some of the supporting cast was also good, but I felt it was a bit too long.
