There are two Gods

PK (Tipsy, Hindi; 2014)
So it looks sightings of UFOs and visitations from alien civilisations corresponds to the affluence of a country. In the 50s, it occurred exclusively in the US. Then it was China and now, India. Put an alien in God's favourite land with the most number of God-men per square feet and a good screenwriter and what do you get? 2 and a half of laughter from a philosophical  comedy of divine proportions.
Followers of this blog would notice that some of the ideas from this movie had come up in our previous posts (here, here and here). But hey, with a ready market worth multi-millions sprawling with talents waiting to hit the jackpot in a world of survival of the fittest, ideas just ooze.
This movie pokes fun at segregation of people according to religious beliefs and the things people do in the name in the name of God.
An alien lands in the deserts of Rajasthan dressed only with a transmitter medallion. His mission is to survey Earth and return to his motherboard space ship. Unfortunately, just a few minutes upon his arrival, his medallion is snatched by a common thief who scoots off at the back of a goods' train.
Left to fend himself in the cruel world on the third rock from the Sun, he learns the cultures and idiosyncrasies as he goes along. He is a fix as he cannot return home as the medallion is the only way to contact his space craft.

Brugge, Belgium.

Along the way, he learns that God can solves all problems. Hence start the parody of man and his subdivisions of belief, all in the name of God, provided you are able to part from your hard earned money.
On the other side of the world in Brugge, Belgium (not Broga in Negri Sembilan), Jaggu's love life is cut short by a misunderstanding of sorts when her boyfriend fails to turn up at the Registrar of Marriages' office. Her love life is met with opposition from her family as the boy is a Pakistani Muslim.
Jaggu's family members are strong follower of a popular Hindu sage who is somehow able to put people under his thumb with his near Truth prediction of events and his flaunting of the alien's medallion to gain credence.
A dejected Jaggu returns to India to work as a TV reporter. Whilst looking around New Delhi for an interesting news to cover, she bumps into a seemingly lunatic character known as PK, the alien. PK, meaning tipsy, is exactly how he behaves, like someone under the influence of alcohol, always acting inappropriately.
What follows is a stomach rolling comedy of the alien trying make sense of religions and cultural beliefs.
A scene that sticks on mind is when PK tries to learn to hold the hand of Hindu widow who seem to be crying (PK has telepathic powers that transmits via the hand). PK is mobbed for doing so and is educated that widows wear white. So the next time he saw a bride in white bridal gown, he expresses his condolences only to be admonished again. She tells him that widows wear black. Next, he approaches 3 women in burqa to pacify them only to have husband walk up to give his discontent.
The climax is when the alien and the sage have a one on one debate on God.
The take home message is - there are two Gods; 1 who created us and the another who was created by us. On the other hand, the concept of God helps man to grasp on something while he continues in the struggle of dealing with bread and butter issues of daily life. Worth the while.
