The film presents a complete outsider's view of religious beliefs and cultural divides from the perspective of total ignorance. For people, there is no doubt about God, and their beliefs and culture are incomparably excellent. But this guy, who came out of nowhere, just wanted to ask some simple questions very stupidly. So, people call him pk ("drunk" in Hindi). But it is precisely these seemingly foolish questions that point to the core issue of religious belief. There is only one creator, but different races and cultures worship different gods, and they all claim that their gods are the true gods. So to which god can we speak so that our words can reach the creator?
In a country like China that lacks faith, everyone may just watch it for fun. However, in a multi-religious country like India, the film caused huge controversy. And this controversy itself is the theme of the film: we all believe in God, but we have different expressions of God. Of course, the film does not question the existence of God, but thinks that there is a problem with our communication channel with God, that is, dialing the wrong number. Moreover, the villain in the film is a liar who deceives the world in the name of God, and also occupies the protagonist's contact device as a sacred object given by God. The protagonist is more directed at his deception than at questioning the authority of God. This is a typical anti-corruption official not anti-emperor.
The final focus of the film shifts from religious issues to love. After all, compared to religion, love is the most guaranteed theme for commercial films. The final choice of the protagonist is very cliché, but then again, cliché is actually the mainstream choice of the people, and the people's favorite is cliché.
As an Indian film, singing and dancing are definitely indispensable. However, the song and dance of this film are quite restrained, there are only three paragraphs in total, and they all match the plot, and they are all easy and beautiful.
