Indo-Asian News Service Saturday, August 14, 2010 (Mumbai) Aamir Khan's Midas touch continues with his production venture Peepli Live, a non commercial film about farmer suicides, doing well on its opening day, taking the actor pleasantly by surprise, and raking up about Rs.70 million and still counting. "Initially, we had planned to open with 200 screens. But the reaction to the promos and trailers has been most encouraging. We are trying to react to the perceived demand to the film," said Aamir in a statement. Journalist-turned-director Anusha Rizvi's direcotrial debut, Peepli Live was made on a budget of approximately Rs.100 million (including marketing costs) and recovered its investment even before its release by selling its satellite rights for Rs.100 million and music rights for Rs.40 million.

Sachin Tichkule....Everyone bought ticket only because there is Aamir Khan...there is no other reason and everyone know they wont be disappointed...the bet was on Aamir...who knows Anusha Rizwi or Omkardas...? Would you produce a movie wiht them?
being an aamir khan movie everyone expected a lot. but this film was nothing more than a documentary filled with vulgar language. when SM ws released every1 made a huge cry about how indian poverty was cashed upon n i agree wid that......but this movie is nothing different. the movie shows us facts about indian farmers and indian media which v r already aware of....things tht we already saw on news channels so there is no need to go to the theatres n waste ur money n time over it. rating- 2.5
