Bollywood alien movie PK ready for China release

India's highest-grossing movie of all time, PK, is set to hit theaters on the Chinese mainland on May 22, and with it, Bollywood is expected to throw a challenge at Hollywood's dominance of the country's movie market.

The Hindi sci-fi comedy narrates the story of an alien's visit to Earth and his struggles with understanding people and their quirks, and the hunt for his spaceship remote, which is stolen after he lands in India.

The movie was released in India in December and expanded to 6,000 screens worldwide, raking in box-office takings of 3 billion Indian rupees ($46.8 million) in the Indian market and another $100 million globally.
