PK

PK (2014) is Rajkumar Hirani's hit Bollywood comedy-drama with a sci-fi twist, and you can watch it online on iFILM. An alien lands in the Rajasthan desert to study humankind. Within minutes someone steals the remote that links him to his ship, stranding him on a planet whose rules make no sense to him.

Aamir Khan plays the wide-eyed visitor, nicknamed PK, who asks the blunt questions everyone else has learned to avoid. Why so many gods, so many temples, so many rituals — and which one is real? His childlike curiosity starts as comedy and lands as something sharper. Along the way he teams up with TV reporter Jaggu (Anushka Sharma), and together they take aim at the self-styled holy men who sell faith for profit.

The film became one of the highest-grossing Indian movies ever made, yet it pokes at religion with warmth rather than venom, songs and all. Boman Irani and Sanjay Dutt back up the cast. It's a treat for anyone who likes big-hearted Bollywood with a social edge. Stream PK (2014) online on iFILM.
