PGR Film Club (In-Person) - PK

From a far away galaxy, a friendly alien lands on earth. His mission is to research the planet and its inhabitants. But on the very day he arrives he loses his most precious possession: the gadget through which he can summon his spaceship and go back home. As the bewildered alien seeks to recover his lost gadget from this planet of billions, everyone tells him only one person can help in this impossible task: God.

And so begins the alien's hilarious and heartbreaking odyssey: the search for God. He treads to every place of worship, performs every rite and ritual, bends before all beliefs and follows every faith - with side-splitting results. He is dismissed as a drunkard, bashed up for blasphemy. But finally, the world cannot ignore his simple yet searing questions.

PK is a comedy of ideas that sharply brings into focus the frauds, follies and foibles of our world through the innocent eyes of a guest from galaxies away.

UGS Scholars Katrina will be running this event. In true Bollywood fashion we'll have Indian food as well as our usual snacks and cosy blankets!
