"Peepli Live" - First Hindi Low Budget Movie

"Peepli Live", a low budget movie centering the story about the difficulties of rural life and starring unknown actors, has drawn plenty of Bollywood attention to it and created a buzz all over India.

The focus of the plot lies in bureaucratic hypocrisy towards Indian farmers. It emphasizes an old government system towards the entire rural sector. "Peepli Live" was written and directed by Anusha Rizvi while Aamir Khan produced it.

The tragedy of rural India has already been shown in films like "Mother India", "Do Bigha Zameen", "Slumdog Millionaire" and many others, but what was so special about "Peepli Live" was the fact that it was created for shockingly low budget.

What have we learn from it?

Two major conclusions:
1. Film producers don't need a lot of money to create a first-class movie.
2. There is a place for meaningful cinema.

Here is the official trailer of "Slumdog Millionaire":
