Review of Peepli Live (2010) by Renesa N — 13 Aug 2010

Black comedy - while watching At times you cant decide either to laugh or cry!

Few points to consider.

-> Million $ question on Independence celebration - has India really gained anything to celebrate? Are we really a developing nation or are we just blindly following feel good factor? Long way to go... There is a huge gap in rural India and metro India.

-> After you watch this , your respect for Actor / Producer Amir Khan will grow n number of times. You will really wish that if our politicians/ leaders can have such vision into their respective fields. The way cinema has developed after Independence- no other field has developed for India.

-> You would really have high regard for yourself for having best hindi/indian 'extensive' vocabulary - if you understand all the phrases in movie ;) you know what I mean :).

-> Where Lagan was optimistic, winning style movie, PL is pessimistic story about media handling issues, politics and level of politicians in india, divide between rural and metro india and lot more domestic Issues.

I am sure this movie will make into lot many upcoming international awards!
