Peepli talks about various serious issues of current India.From Farmer's suicide to corrupt politicians.From Current state of journalism in india to rising prices of commodities.Every year many farmers are loosing their lands and opting to become a labor in the great shining india due to debt of bank which they got against their lands.And due to non payment of bank loans they are forced to auction their land to repay the bank loan.Peepli Live is a story which covers all these burning issues in India.
Peepli starts with Nathu (Omkar das)and Budhiya(Raghuvir yadav) who had taken a loan against their land but they were not able to repay that money back to bank and they loose their land .This land was the only source of the livelihood of the family.They asked for help from the local politician but instead of helping them he suggested them to go for suicide because after suicide their family will get one lakh rupee.Nathu decided that he will commit suicide for the wellness of the family and this is the point from where the luck changed for them.A local Newspaper published this news that Nathu will commit suicide and whole media world came to peepli for coverage of suicide because this news will surely give them good TRPs.This media coverage turned the whole village into Limelight and every media house was trying to encash this event by sensationalise the whole issue.The local journalist who actually finds the issue became puppet of the big media houses.
Peepli Live shows the reality behind media houses, politicians, bureaucrats and their apathetic approach towards problems.And the script is written in a such a manner that it makes the audience laugh at every point of the movie.
India promotes itself as one of the fastest growing economies in the world, but the film shows the miserable condition of farmers who continue to end their lives after living in extreme poverty.
Anusha Rizwi who is a debutant director has written a very good script and executed the tremendous script into a movie very effectively.The movie enlightens the viewers about the real situation of farmers in rural india.
All the actors have played their characters in the movie in a tremendous manner.Anusha has mixed the miseries of farmers and the political and media reactions very well in the movie.This makes Peepli Live a must watch movie.
