The storyline of “PK” revolves around the fascinating journey of an innocent alien, portrayed by the brilliant Aamir Khan, who unintentionally finds himself on planet Earth but encounters a setback when he loses his means of communication with his home planet.

Plot

In the vast expanses of Rajasthan, a humanoid alien finds himself abruptly landing on Earth, completely naked and on a research mission. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when the remote control for his spaceship, his only means of returning home, is stolen by an unknown perpetrator. Left stranded and vulnerable, the alien must navigate the unfamiliar terrains of Earth to retrieve his stolen device and fulfill his mission.

Meanwhile, in a seemingly unrelated part of the world, specifically Belgium, the lives of two individuals from different cultural backgrounds intertwine.

In a serendipitous encounter, their hearts connect, and they fall deeply in love.
