Peepli Live is the latest Hindi film out of the production house of Aamir Khan khatrimaza. Directed by Anusha Rizvi, is a blunt satire on the state of farmer suicides in rural India. The well written and excellently executed film also shows some other serious problems with a tongue in cheek irony and satire that few films have been able to. Most Bollywood films are known for their sequences of songs, love stories, dialogues and typical characters. Instead, Peepli strengths lies in its
Only a few directors have the ability to take a well-written script and whisk in prime time entertainment that not only sends a strong message, but also manages to rake in good money at the box office. Peepli Live has managed to do both difficult acts so gently, that one can only sit and wonder if Anusha Rizvi is actually doing his directorial debut with this film.
With Aamir Khan, who has a strong brand image, the film has very good marketing and promotions so many people made note Peepli Live. For example, Peepli was the first Indian film to reach the Sundance Film Festival in USA .. Add to this the fact that Aamir knows how to market their films 'very' good, and the makers of this film I could have found a better audience.
All said and done, the film has made great impact in the mind of the average farmer and Indian film goer. Quite a stark contrast in a country of more than 2 billion people.
