Paani

The kind of film which defines Cinema as an art. Quite simple but a genuine tale of belief and resilience. The marketing of the film could be a good reason for the film not doing well commercially. Watch it to experience the nearly impossible feat achieved by those people back then. Mr. Adinath Kothare has outshined throughout and the other actors gave pure justice to their roles including the female lead Rucha Vaidya. We praise commercial movies but fail to applaud such masterpieces. The movie is based on a true event and it inspires you by leaving an impact for sure. Also it will help you understand the importance of water, which we people living in cities might have never realized.

I started seeing this movie with some perception. I was expecting a representation of a social issue and a resolution towards it, and expected a one time watch movie. But when I started watching it, it grabbed my nerves within few mins . The way of representation is excellent. Screenplay, dialogues, acting, drama, direction is just outstanding. I was getting a feeling like I am watching 'Lagaan' with a proper adaptation of local existing issue. Hats off to Adinath Kothare !!! Social issue and love story goes hand in hand, and both feels incomplete without each other. Nothing overpowers other. The way everything is blended and balanced in this movie is just amazing !!! I am going to watch it again for sure.

I really don't know what happened to the people choice these days, but if this movie is not going to impact your thought process and if this movie doesn't shake you from inside, then consider that you have started loosing humanity. So go for it , watch it and test your human feelings are still alive or hijacked with the noise around you.

"Excellent acting and direction by Adinath Kothare, and Rucha Vaidya also delivered a commendable performance. If you're a fan of inspiring films like Manjhi: The Mountain Man, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, or Padman, then Paani is a must-watch. Based on a true story, this uplifting movie maintains its pace without a dull moment. Adinath Kothare truly shines with a remarkable performance. It's disappointing that despite the availability of such impactful content, many Marathi viewers might still be attracted to Bollywood's typical fare. Paani offers a refreshing experience that leaves you feeling inspired and empowered."

Paani -Movie worth watching among chartbusting mass entertaining box office shattering money spinning pan India movies.

Quite underrated , under marketed movie. Did not do much on the box office but thats what some A grade cinema have to undergo.

Just released around same time as Phulwanti , another good Marathi movie. Maybe the reason to lose some audience.

This cinema I watched on Amazon prime which is available in India but surprisingly not available overseas.

You will get all massy classy South Indian movies on OTT everywhere. Malayalam movies all are available overseas on prime, netflix ,disney. But not the same for Marathi movies. You can see them in India but are invisible overseas. Why ? God knows. Even OTT refuse to air Marathi movies that are A grade yet sadly neglected.

Paani should get its due. Watch it for Adinath Kothare who has done very well job as an actor & debut director. Hope he keeps making more.

It is underdog story and leaves you feeling good. I didn't expect this ki d of performance from Adi but he delivered amazing performance both as a director and actor. Title track is also good and used in good way as background score.

Must watch for marathi movie lovers. Also, it is not an art film as you would expect. I started it thinking will watch with fast forward but it kept me engaged enough to watch it in one go! Good screenplay, good direction. Story is obviously good. Love story angle is imp for storyline and used that way.

All in all, good cinema in marathi after a while. Don't miss this one.
