The PM watched the film along with wife Gursharan at a special screening at their residence.
He had reportedly opined that the film had a message on which they had to act. He also felt that there should be a more inclusive approach to development. The film is a satirical take on the farmers’ suicides in the country.
Earlier, the film had attracted mixed reactions from various sections of people. A group of farmers demanded the banning on the film and felt that ’Peepli Live’ trivialized farmers’ deaths.
After a special screening of the film for NDA MPs, L K Advani praised ’Peepli Live’ for its "realistic depiction of village life". But, he felt that the theme should have been the NREGA, rather than the farmer suicides.
