Peepli Live is a true representation of live of Villeges in India – A must watch movie.
its a different story, and not like the other movies,
After losing their plot of land over an unpaid government loan two brothers and farmers by profession, Natha and Budhia residing in the heart of rural India seek the help of a local politician.
Not concerned with their plight the politician mockingly suggests that the brothers commit suicide and benefit from a government scheme that aids the families of indebted farmers who have done so.
Budhia the shrewder of the two immediately encourages Natha a simpleton by nature to think of the greater good of their family and do the needful.
Their drunken conversation in a bar is overheard by a journalist. The next day it appears in a local newspaper under the header "A Death Foretold in Peepli Village."
The article sparks off a chain of events that reaches the highest corridors of power in India's political machinery.
With elections around the corner what would otherwise have been common fare turns into a 'cause celebre' with everybody wanting a piece of the action.
