Peepli live rocked the box office on Friday as it grossed Rs. 70 million on the very opening day. The movie was released on 600 screens in India and 100 screens in overseas. Aamir Khans production once again got salute from the people for bringing such a heart touching movie.
It seems that the Midas touch of Aamir Khan is really getting more and more worth believing as all four movies from his home production has left great impact on the viewers. Despite of having none of the popular stars except Naseeruddin Shah, with the rural theme on farmers suicide and a difficult language to understand, the movie made a descent start in the morning and noon shows but gradually attained the houseful in the evening shows.
The movie, directed by Anusha Rizvi who once was journalist, has made the entire bollywood agape, as they were skeptical about such a low budget movie’s grand success. Initially after listening to statistics Aamir was also stunned and told that the reaction of people to the promos and trailers had been most encouraging for him so he launched movie on 700 screens altogether.
The movie Peepli Live is a low budget movie of Rs 100 million, which earned Rs.140 million before its release only on the broadcasting rights and the music release rights. Thus, the film turns to be profitable venture for its producers. The market of movie is expected to boom more as the movie has been released ahead of national holiday.
