The Little Glitch: PK Hai Kya?

Peena is Hindi/Urdu for drink, and hence Peekay would mean 'having drunk.'

However, the complete sentence for 'are you drunk?', in the way they have tried to make here, could be 'Peekay aaya hai kya?' or otherwise, 'Piye hue hai kya?' or 'Piye hai kya?' However, 'Peekay hai kya?' wouldn't be heard, at least in the regular Khadi Boli speaking region.

Hence, everybody asking in a promo 'PK hai kya?' wouldn't make sense to me so much as it would have if they had asked something like, 'PK aaya hai kya?' or 'PK aaya kya?' or maybe 'PA hai kya?' which would be like 'Piye hai kya.'

So yes, in a Rajkumar Hirani film, where he likes to keep things quite perfect, this is quite an imperfect sentence for me, especially when the title of the film is involved, and is customized for effect, it's not effective enough. But then, in time the sentence, if too popular, may set its own standards, and settle down in the language, or next to it.

Here is the video of the dialog promo.

PK - Music Review | Shantanu Moitra, Ajay-Atul, Ankit Tiwari

Ajay-Atul are quite good working with specific needs. Be it Singham's title track which did create a perfect atmosphere (I don't think it's easy to create music that is thrilling and yet catchy), or Agneepath's Shamsheer song. After giving Marathi touch to songs when needed, they this time create a Rajasthani feel to Tharki Chhokro, and boy, how it comes. Plus, Swanand Kirkire's lyrics give just enough of a Rajasthani touch to the lyrics, and there goes the fun song. Nicey nice.

If you thought PK in some corners had shades of Rancho, well, this Nanga Punga Dost sung by Shreya in a fun way might strenghthen your beliefs. But as such, it's a simple, light song with fun lyrics, something Swanand has become an expert at. Remember Barfi title? Swanand is king of fun introduction lyrics, I tell you.

Tharki Chokro Meaning [ठरकी छोकरो]

Tharki is a Hindi word which means lascivious, pervert or lewd. Chhokra is Hindi which means a boy, a guy, and chhokro is a dialectic version of it, spoken in Rajasthan and a few other Indian states.

Hence, Tharki Chhokro means a lascivious boy, or pervert guy.

Tharki Chhokro [or Tharki Chokro] is a song in Aamir Khan starrer PK.

P.K./ Peekay Meaning

No, P.K. doesn't mean anything other than it's a common first name-second name combination in India, with K many times standing for Kumar, a very common middle name/ surname in India.

However, peena in Hindi means to drink, and kay here would mean after, having, which makes Peekay as 'having drunk' which sounds interesting.

That's also the reason you can see people who are fondly called Peekay by friends instead of their actual names being called, because it's not derogatory, but still funny in a way.
