Peepli Live: Imagine a movie about a man who wants to end his life so that he can get government mon

Imagine a movie about a man who wants to end his life so that he can get government money. The plot unfolds, and this becomes a national issue where teams are divided — One wants him to commit suicide, and the other does not. It is a kind of weirdly funny movie and a brilliant satire on the actual situation cropping up in India around the same time when farmers were committing suicide and the government was giving relief funds to family members. This movie not only exposes the dire state of farmers but also the state of journalism as well, where they won’t give privacy to Natha to relieve himself. Peepli [Live] is one of those off-beat movies that took mainstream Bollywood by storm and was the most talked about movie of the year. It is a milestone as the movie didn’t have any mainstream actors. Only Raghubir Yadav was a known face. Nawazuddin was not a big name at that time. However, his performance is flawless and he has played a small but vital role in the movie.
