Review of Peepli Live (2010) by Asif K — 15 Mar 2011
On the eve of national elections in the Indian village of Peepli, two poor farmers, Natha and Budhia, face losing their land over an unpaid government loan. Desperate, they seek help from an apathetic local politician, who suggests they commit suicide to benefit from a government program that aids the families of indebted deceased farmers. When a journalist overhears Budhia urge Natha to "do what needs to be done" for the sake of their families, a media frenzy ignites around whether or not Natha will commit suicide.
Won't be able to give a full review but I would say one of the best movies and path breaking movies of 2010 from India. its truly a gem. loved it.
