loved PK because

- happy to see indian films get mature. The promos before the movie promise of an interesting 2015. 
- The story is so simple - one person wants to go back home and sees this new crazy place that he has to survive until he finds a way back. 
- I love the use of Bhojpuri - brilliant !! Relatable to the North Indian audiences and funny for the city dwellers. 
- I loved the idea that they were trying to tell a story where Anushka's character is trying to tell a story. Fun little Russian doll type story telling. 
- The approach to the topic of blind faith in india as an outsider was done by this funny alien. A complete outsider passing comments on us in a funny way really gets people thinking. 
- Beautifully touches on how Indian parents can completely get off course in their "love" for their children. The father who takes pride in a child's creativity, feels shame when she uses the same tools to examine his own beliefs. 
- The face off between the guru and PK actually dealt with the classic irrational argument that people make about "what is the harm if god gives people hope". He turns around to agree that god does give hope but not by blind faith. "which god should I follow"
