(According to Jitendra Prajapati Main Aur Mr. Riight is a 3 star movie)

films may be too few to base a theory on, but it does appear that in aamir khan and rajkumar hirani, bollywood has found an actor/director pair committed to telling brave, relevant stories, the sort rarely tackled in mainstream popular cinema. after delivering a well- aimed kick in the pants to our myopic, rote-learning education system in 2009's colossally successful 3 idiots, the team returns with pk, a film with very big...ahem...testicles. operating in a country famously over-sensitive about religion, they've made a movie that brazenly ridicules our blind faith in god, and exposes the manipulations of godmen who feed off it for profit. these truths are skillfully illustrated when seen through the eyes of an 'outsider', the film's otherworldly hero, pk (played by khan), who shows up quite literally in his birthday suit. pk speaks bhojpuri, and has bulging eyes that seldom blink, arched eyebrows, protruding ears, and blood-red lips from permanently chewing paan. in the film's terrific first half, we watch as pk tries desperately to recover an item of great value to him that has been stolen. when he's told that only god can help him, heh sets off earnestly to find god, discovering in the process our hypocrisies, our prejudices and our misguided obsession with religion.
