Peepli [Live]

The best part about the movie is that it is a short movie of around 1 hour 40 mins which means that no sequences in the movie look like they have been dragged. I would say it is a movie that tries at highlighting the condition of our farmers and the corrupt government officials and the politicians who always try to get benefit from such events. The movie evolves around the main character 'Natha' and his suicide and the story is very well paced, it moves constantly and there are some real good punches to add humor and also to reveal the secrets of the Media industry. There is a sequence in the movie where the reporters analyse the excreta of Natha and link it to Psychology and try to infer what the man had in his mind while he was excreting.

There are some brilliant performances in the movie with the lady playing the mother of Natha standing tall. Naseeruddin Shah has done superbly in the small role that he had. I always like the acting of Raghuvir who plays 'Budhiya' in the movie and he proves his worth yet again. The songs in the movie are scarce but are good. I personally liked the desi song 'Mahangayi Dayan Kahye Jaat Hai.'. Overall an OK movie, I expected the movie to be better just because it was an Aamir Khan production. The movie is well researched, well written but I felt something was missing. But still it is a watch worthy film which has some heart touching sequences and praise worthy performances.
