Sachin Tendulkar called it the best film of Aamir Khan while others in the industry too can't stop raving about it.

When contacted Vinod Chopra, he shared, "PK is a very relevant film in today's times. While it's an entertainer, it also has a strong social message. A message that needs to reach the whole country. That's why we have applied for the tax exemption."
