And since it’s a satire, it’s a humorous take on all of us on us as a society, on politicians, on administration, the media, all of us in general. The film is very entertaining to watch it has a good pace. The media is pretty much put under fire with the film and of course, the film pokes fun at the reality TV craze in India. It’s also very thought provoking and quite heartbreaking towards the end. So there is a lot of humor it’s a fairly funny script. The other difference is that Lagaan is essentially a drama while Peepli is a satire. It’s very real the setting, the actors, the performances - they are all very real. They both are films about rural life in India but the difference is that Lagaan is more larger than life a fairytale like story like an Asterix comics. I guess that’s natural.īy now we all know that Peepli talks about rural issues in India very similar to that of Lagaan.

And so when it’s about to release, we are all nervous. We have really worked on Peepli with a lot of love and care. Well, I get nervous about all my films! (Laughs) So much emotions are in the film, everyone’s: Anusha, the cast and crew and of course me included. Now everyone is looking forward to Peepli but you’ve claimed that you’re really nervous! Why is that? The film looks fantastic! BollySpice caught up with the actor-producer during his time in New York to discuss all things Peepli ! It creates an enchanting world of colorful characters, images and music that engrosses viewers throughout.” It was Aamir who took it upon himself to promote the film globally. The jury quote, “ Peepli Live is an ambitious and well-realized film that deals with serious political issues in a witty and entertaining manner. Its greatest acclaim came at the Durban International Film Festival where Peepli was crowned Best Feature Film Winner. But irrespective of the non star cast, the film has already managed to gain immense accolades at a number of renowned film festivals that it has competed or screened at including Sundance and Cannes. There are no big names in the in film - in fact none of the actors will ring too much of a bell.

While it is a rather serious subject, the execution is completely different to what audiences have seen in the past. Directed by ex-NDTV journalist Anusha Rizvi, Peepli is a satire look at rustic life in India. Taking on the producer cap yet again, the actor brings to you Peepli. And while you won’t see the National Award winning actor on screen for a while, you are in for a treat. Last year we saw Aamir in the acclaimed and award winning 3 Idiots. When you have Aamir Khan associated with a film, you know one thing is confirmed: the film is going to be better than the rest.
