What We Think

'PK' wields satire to challenge religious traditions, veering into woke territory by portraying faith with heavy skepticism. Its narrative mostly keeps on track, but its mocking of tradition and one-sided worldview might leave non-woke viewers rolling their eyes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While 'PK' features some moments of forced messaging, the lead character's outsider perspective largely serves the story and sparks genuine questions. The film doesn’t shoehorn diversity for its own sake, but occasionally narrative takes a backseat to grandstanding social commentary, particularly regarding organized religion.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film takes critical aim at established religious conventions and portrays faith practices as misguided or ripe for mockery. Traditional religious figures are often depicted as manipulative or ignorant, which some viewers could interpret as undermining core cultural values and beliefs.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, especially more devout or traditional religious beliefs, are often presented as the domain of charlatans or simpletons. Sincere faith is rarely depicted without cynicism, and debate is framed mostly from a skeptical, rationalist stance.
