Peepli Live Story- Line: Enter Peepli, a small village in the hinterland where a farmer duo, Natha (Omkar Das Manikpuri) and Budhia (Raghuvir Yadav) are struggling to hold on to their land.

But before he can do that, the news spreads like wildfire. Will Natha survive? and what was the situations they have to face and the turns has been took is the remaining Story of Peepli Live.

Peepli Live Movie Review: And that’s the bottomline of Peepli Live, a small little film, that showcases the real India without glossing over the contradictions of our democracy or getting sentimental about garibi. A satire on the farmers’ suicides and subsequent media and political response, Peepli Live competed in the Sundance Film Festival, the first film from India to achieve this feat. However due to the offensive language in the movie, it got an ‘A’ adult certificate in India.The movie was picked up by specialty German distribution company Rapid Eye Movies for a special screening at the Berlin International Film Festival. Peepli Live has reportedley recovered it’s cost before it’s release itself. Currently Peepli Live has the rating of 9.2 on IMDB.

So, we get to savour this delightful scene where the caretakers of the Indian state try to prevent Natha’s suicide by gifting him a `Lal Bahadur’ (read hand pump) without providing for the requisite funds for its fitting. Needless to say, the hand pump lies unused in the destitute farmer’s courtyard and doubles up mostly as a plaything for the village urchins. Then again, there’s a local politician who tries to gain mileage by gifting him a colour TV, quite like Marie Antoinette’s famous blooper: ‘If they don’t have food, give them cakes!’ And finally, there are the state officials who go through their entire gamut of garibi-hatao schemes, only to realise there is nothing tailor-made to prevent a farmer from committing suicide.

But by and large, Peepli Live is a lively and living document which shows on the `other’ India, that lives beyond the neon lights and the metros. Aamir Khan’s Peepli Live film made auidience without being boring and didactic.

Peepli Live Rating: 3.5/ 5.0
