Aamir Khan often called the Midas of bollywood re-entered the film arena earlier than any would have imagined and none would fail to agree that he came back in great style. Peepli Live a satire on the farmer's suicides and subsequent political and media response is produced by Aamir Khan and written and directed by Anusha Rizvi in her first directorial venture.
The film is revolved around a remarkable story but it ends with one line which endorses the director's vision and brings out one of the most unnoticed and overlooked phenomenon in the country - the migration of villagers to cities in search of a better life. The story is picked up by national TV channels and hurled into prime time news. What ensues is a battle between news channels to get the first piece of news. Live coverage of the issue rocks the political stage. It also describes the desperate gap between the countries rural and urban structure of life.
What makes 'Peepli [Live]' an absolute delight are the performances from the completely fresh cast. They bring life to rural India where they no longer remain in a frame of cinema, but transcend into reality. The movie like every Aamir khan movie is intellectual and is expected to bring about a revolution of some sorts and raise social awareness about the life of farmers in the country, like RDB and DCH did.
No gaping holes, this one stands clean. 'Peepli [Live]' is a class act and director Anusha Rizvi and producer Aamir Khan could take a bow for working this into reality...
