PEEPLI [LIVE] - Hats off.
PEEPLI [LIVE] is an Aamir Khan production masterpiece revolving around a farmer duo 'Natha' and 'Budhia' in a small village called 'Peepli' in India.
Just when I felt proud that this is going to create some stir as it’s a tight smack on the TRP starving media and an eye opener for the supremacy craving contaminated corrupted political structure….I read a comment of one of my friends on facebook stating it the worst movie she has ever seen. “Come again? Worst movie?” “Oh, I remember u saw ‘DDLJ’ some 25 times.” “Yes that’s the real rural area of India where Raj stands with open arms 4 one and only Simran... (Indian values and a bucket full of glycerine).” “Please stick to it and hopefully there will be a flat surface where you could bang your head and never raise it again.”:-/
Just when we were celebrating our 64th independence day thinking, contemplating and pondering over our current rich and poor wide.. Our MPs didn’t take a step back in fighting hard for their 500% hike instead of approved 300. Claps and three cheers to our leaders !! Wonderful.
This is happening in a country where a large proportion of population live in rural areas lacking with very basic amenities for living.
Real PEEPLI through my lens : A so called developed village in Rajasthan.
Laal Bahadur - Handpumps are still considered luxury there !!
Female kids are still not being sent to schools, forget college.
Folks there still live in huts made up of dried mud - its not a camping location but a real house.
and we share the same home land boasting about our values, culture and diversity. We, the youth of India.. call ourselves educated. SIGH.
