Started nicely, took off brilliantly but somewhat, could not land safely. Anusha lost her grip in the final moments. Nevertheless, a very good movie and we can simply feel proud that such movies are being made in Bollywood. Performances of all the actors are brilliant, particularly, Nattha, Dhania and Budhia. These type of movies are not made everyday, so, go grab it.

During times when a majority of Hindi films carrying big star names have been flopping left, right center attributed to the fact that their content is poor, comes Aamir Khan produced Peepli [Live] starring no big names but superbly directed strong on content brilliant multi layered satire. It takes you straight into the heart of the real India, into the lives of BPL (Below Poverty Line) people and their problems. While on the periphery the film might appear to be a spoof on the farmer suicides, it ends up conveying much more and presents some shocking facts. Peepli village residents, Natha (Omkar Das) and his elder brother Budhia (Yadav) lose their family land to the bank since they cannot repay their loan. Helpless, they seek help of the local village politician Bhai Thakur (Sitaram Panchal). While Bhai Thakur insults them, one of his cronies mockingly tells the duo about a Government Policy that gives monetary benefit to farmers committing suicides. The brothers take that idea seriously. In a superbly written scene, Budhia manages to get Natha volunteer to commit suicide for the sake of his family. A local reporter, Rakesh (Nawazuddin) gets the whiff of this and does a story on for his newspaper. He also intimates a big English news channel reporter Nandita Malik (Malaika Shenoy) about the same. But no sooner does she breaks this news on her channel, almost every single channel rushes in to cover Natha’s suicide story live. The local by-elections are just around the corner what with it being the state chief minister’s seat at stake. What all chaos it all leads to forms the rest part of the story. TV journalist turned filmmaker Anusha Rizvi has handled her directorial debut like a pro. Her biggest ace is her black humour laced script that successfully packs in all the rot in our system. The lingo is earthy and much humour is derived from the manner it is spoken by the characters. Anusha leaves no stone unturned to poke fun of vote hungry politicians, the so called government policies for the BPL Indian’s that aide a dead farmer more than alive ones and the TRP thirsty channel heads and their reporters who don’t think twice before stooping to the lowest levels to grab audience attention. The poignant ends of Rakesh and an inconsequential village farmer stings your heart. While not many might agree with the unusual climax, it ends up presenting a disturbing fact. Though the film brings back memories of Mahesh Manjrekar’s Pran Jaaye Par Shaan Na Jaaye (2003) which had a character declaring a suicide and the commotion that follows, it’s Anusha’s subtlety in handling these portions that sets it apart. Anusha scores high in her casting as her actors lend tremendous authenticity to the plot. Omkar Das Manikpuri is a real find. With his mere expressions, he makes his character extremely endearing. Raghuveer Yadav grabs your attention whenever on screen. Malaika Shenoy is extremely convincing. Naseerudin Shah’s cameo as the wily Agriculture Minister is just perfect. Playing to the gallery, Vishal Sharma as the Hindi TV channel journo nails it perfectly. Also impressive is Farrukh Jaffer as Natha’s bed ridden forever venom spewing mother and Shalini Vatsa as Natha’s feisty wife. Nawazzudin is exceptional as the reporter whose conscience awakens. The film’s earthy soundtrack by Indian Ocean and Nageen Tanveer is just apt and Shankar Raman’s camerawork enhances the impact. Anusha Rizvi’s Peepli [Live] is an excellent expose of the great Indian political tamasha, with the right amount of pinches at the flawed system and rightly showcases how the real value of a life is always ignored amidst the media circus. Please don’t miss it for anything. Black comedies like Peepli [Live] are a rarity in Bollywood.

As seeing the reviews from the users, I am sure they won't like mine on any case. This Movie showed India's unseen face with the help of Cinema. The Movie came out with the hottest topic rite now, that is taking place in India is suicide among farmers and their family. Movie did well on showing that part and on the other hand, it left audiences rolling on the floor while watching this movie. Movie portray India's other side of the coin, which is poor side of the country. Sad part is that out country's heavily relied on agriculture but who are in it is in really bad shape. I would say movie over all is Amazing and short to be precise, it is Amazing to watch and it is a one time must watch movie. Please do watch it.

peepli live is really a fantastic film... its good to see that more productive and intelligent films are returning to the bollywood film industry rather than horrible comedy attempts made to make people laugh!!! peepli live really is a slap on the face of the media!!! how they turn small things like shit into a political issue!!! it also focusses what the farmers of india are going through!! more than that i think aamir khan has filled the stomachs of the censor board with lots of money because the picture contains a lot of desi indian foul words!!! over all above, i give all the credit to anusha rizvi for two reasons!!! first she wrote a great script!! and second she went to aamir khan with it!! over all its worth a watch!!!

Now thats what I call a real sattire movie,a very simple but straight to the point film,story was good though it was sad but its true and real,its been told in humourous way, good work by director I can say it was good film but it has a feeling of the edge of documentary film,but somehow it does entertain in a simple way, and without glamour without lead star cast ( accept naseeruddin in very little role) this movie deliver its best and dont disappoint. and what to say about aamir he is such a genius without he in this film or even directing he promotes this film that sees the succses, turns out sand in to gold!!!
