Peepli [Live] movie plot

Peepli is a small remote Indian village. There are two poor peasant brothers Nata and Budia in the village. They can't afford the loan and risk paying their land to the bank at any time, so they desperately want to find a way to save their property. A local big landlord gave them a good suggestion: but one of them must commit suicide. He said that there is a government policy to provide financial support for relevant survivors. At the instigation of the women in the family, his brother Budia made some investigations. It seemed that he was going to end his life, however, Nata accidentally said that he would rather die by himself, and Budia did not hesitate to agree to his request. At the same time, Indian television news is all about the elections in Mukhya Pradesh state. The reports mainly focused on the confrontation between the Minister of Agriculture and the head of the government in this state of India. A Peepli reporter accidentally heard a conversation between the two brothers after they were drunk, which reminded him of a pretty good morning paper title: Peepli's death omen. This news caused a great sensation in the election, and the state's system has been closely following the media since a long time ago. It didn't take long for the whole village to learn about Natta's story. News reporters, policemen, politicians, border traders are besieging his house. Not only Nata’s family, but hundreds of others also felt that there was a chance to make a fortune.

Seeing that the farmland that they depend on for their livelihoods is about to be auctioned off, a pair of live treasure brothers are determined to die to get a large amount of government compensation. Unexpectedly, rumors of suicide spread like wildfire, and a large number of media rushed into the town. The poor farmers who had no one caring about life and death suddenly became the focus of national attention. For the first time in the history of Indian film, this satirical comedy abandons the magnificent grand scene of singing and dancing, and envelops the poor and humble life stories on the dry land in soft singing while sitting on the ground.
