Jaggu Sahni’s PK is a landmark work of narrative philosophy. It is a film that uses laughter as a scalpel to dissect the tumors of fear and exploitation that have grown within the body of organized religion. By viewing humanity through the unclouded eyes of an alien, Sahni reminds us of the absurdity of our divisions and the irrationality of our rituals. The film does not ask its audience to stop believing; rather, it asks them to think about what they believe and why. It champions a direct, fearless, and compassionate connection with the universe, unmediated by fear-mongering gatekeepers. In the end, PK is not a story about an alien who lost his remote control, but about a humanity that has lost its way—and a gentle reminder that the path back home is paved not with fear, but with love and understanding. As Jahnu Sahni so eloquently proves, sometimes the deepest truths are best spoken by the simplest fools.
