While I haven't been among the biggest fans of Peepli Live, I remain unimpressed by just how low it was on both insight and satire credit must be given to Rizvi for her filmmaking craft.
Peepli had a great soundtrack, some actors in top form, and nice rural detailing, something we don't see nearly enough of.
It's also quite a feat to be selected as the country's official Oscar entry with your debut film.
