Another great effort from Aamir, its a good movie by the standards of Bollywood nothing more. There are still a section of western crowd that still thinks Indian movies are bollywood - those mobs would praise the movie..The movie is worthy of it.
For this Bachchans, they are in dire straits, frantically in search of bread and bricks. If anyone invites them and gives them a chance to speaks to the media, they would unleash their ONCE UPON A TIME famed family drivel and would also praise the guy who has sponspore them. Almost all in the Bachchan clan are out of business, its apparent they would continue trash talking first chance once the cameras click in front of them.
A film like Peepli live should be praised by co artistes, irrespective of whether they are premiered or not..A culture in South Indian movies which goes missing up North.

Appreciating Peepli Live, yes, good and appreciable. But getting into Bhacchans and saying they are out of business, well senior Bacchan did create a good image of himself and still holds the brand. Amir Khan while promoting his film, asked Bacchan family to watch and give their opinion. He did not ask you and me or a commoner. Secondly, even today, Bacchans earns crores and crores on promotion of various brands. Any other star would be sweating to act in multiple films to equate the earnings by Bacchans on brand promotions. Dont think that you are going to be young always. The time will take a toll on you also and the cycle will move. Leave it as they are.. that is why we always use the word 'nostalgia' and enjoy too.

BAchan Sr. alone must be earning so much that you cant imagine. He is now doing KBC and he is roped in for champions league. SO man grow up. Jaya Bachan could have taken up the RS seat and would have earned enough though she didn't and itself contradicts your statment. As far as Aamir is concerned he is definitely the best :)

Amitabh bacchan was responsible for inciting mobs during 1984 anti sikh genocide. He has an FIR against his name.
At that time he was close to gandhi family...then he became close to amar singh..
he should retire and atone for his sins instead of continuing to act and look like a scarecrow.

Hi Friends, Its because Bachchans some how present themselves before the media, they are holding on a brand value..The Champions League stuff is a laughable tournament even in the world of cricket. KBC, Amitabh is a good anchor dont think the program would be generating the nostalgia now. 1 crore before 10 years back was a big money but even a posh flat in Mumbai or Chennai would cost more, its not a big money these days.
There are older Hindi super stars, Raj kapoor, Rajesh Khanna, Dev Anand etc who took their retirement role after they were sidelined due to old age. But the media whorish Bachchan still try to act smart before the camera inpsite of every one know he's no more a crowd puller and his 70-80's film antics are outdated for current audience.

Then what was SlumdogMillionaire? Or many other movies which shows many women and men in poor plight. Do all these films show India in great light. Looks like you have fixed mindset. People with fixed mindset always suffer.
Today i watched this film and very much impressed peepli live actors . what a performaces and direction . This film is masterpiece from Aamir Khan Productions . Congratulation to Aamir Khan for producing a different kind of film and give chances to newcomers . Jeeyo Aamir Maza Aa Gaya ........
