An impoverished farmer decides on a drastic plan to save his land in this witty and original comedy set in rural India.
Natha (Omkar Das Manikpuri) is a poor farmer who is about to lose his plot of land due to an unpaid government loan. Ironically, the same government scheme also financially compensates the families of desperate farmers who have committed suicide. The answer is simple - either he or his brother Budhia (Raghubir Yadav) will kill themselves and all their problems will be over! Unfortunately for the hapless Natha, who finds himself reluctantly agreeing to the sacrifice, the reality isn't quite so appealing. Local elections are around the corner and what should be just another unfortunate incident, turns into a sensation, with everyone wanting a piece of the action. Political bigwigs, high-ranking bureaucrats, local henchman and the media all descend upon sleepy Peepli where the question on everyone's lips is "will he or won't he?"
