Review:
It started out with an alien, PK, coming down naked from a spaceship for a
research mission. Unfortunately, his remote control is stolen by a man and tried to
chase him but he only got the thief’s cassette recorder.
PK met Jaggu the time he was disseminating flyers where there stated,
“Missing: God”. In a cell, he told his stories to Jaggu as he captures the fears and
falsehoods that humans weave around faith, starting his desperation. He's
bewildered about how to and how to pray when he chooses to pray for his remote.
With the help of Jaggu, his perspective on God has shown all over the world
and speaks out many other “WRONG NUMBER” cases. Futhermore, with his urge to
stop misconceptions, it led to an argument between him and Tapasvi where it had
reached to air on TV.
The TV show where interview is done ended in making Tapasvi fool in front of
millions of people watching the show. PK pointed out that he has only one God, a
God who created all creations and not a God who is created by people as he is
referring to Tapasvi. He finally had his “RIGHT NUMBER” as he stated the line, “My
right number is simple, the God who created us all, put faith in Him.” . And
finally, he got his remote control back and had the chance to go back to his planet.
