    Default Peepli live - review

    Skycity Cinemas
    Auckland

    Status- Almost full ( 60 % white guys )


    Anusha Rizvi's 'Peepli Live' is a terrific film, that leaves you baffled. Rizvi's screenplay is innovative, while her direction is sharp. Produced by India's current No.1 Superstar Aamir Khan, here'a film that you'll remember for quite sometime.

    A satire on the farmers' suicides and subsequent media and political response. Will Natha Die? Will Natha Live? That's the question we've been wanting to know, ever since, the promos hit the air. The answer to that... I suggest you make sometime and visit this tragic-comedy and know yourself!

    However, 'Peepli Live' is not without his shed of minuses. The first hour, especially, is very slow. Also, the film tends to get too Loud and Irritating at times. For example, the portions between Natha's wife & his Amma are annoying. The Amma screams her lungs out! These minuses cannot be forgotten!

    Coming to the acting, Raghubir Yadav is fantastic as the selfish brother of Natha. Omkar Das Manikpuri as Natha, is quite good. Farookh Zafar as Amma, is irritating! Shalini Vatsa is loud as well. Naseer bhai, repeats his act. Malaika Shenoy is very good. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is effective, in a brief role. Others do a fine job.

    On the whole, A must watch film! But, again, it's no flawless film

    Ending which was terrifically weaved out, in some ways, reminds me of one of the greatest satires in Malayalam "Panchavadi Paalam"

    Direction- 9.5/10
    Box Office- If not Banned a sure Super Hit !!!!!

    One of the best scenes that I liked was the last one where camera starts going back from village roads to pakka roads, then to highway, then enters a city where we see lot of vehicles and buildings and finally a construction site where lots of villagers are working as laborers. That scene so clearly shows the dichotomy of Indian life. A must watch I will say
