On the Bollywood film Nila Madhab burst scene with the discriminatingly acclaimed I Am Kalam in 2011.
After quickly touching upon the issue of water deficiency in his subsequent film Jalpari, the fillmaker’s new film – the Kunal Kapoor and Radhika Apte starrer parody Kaun Kitne Paani Mein – spins around water legislative issues in an anecdotal Odisha town.
The film opens with an honor murdering where the ruler of a town (settled in the slopes) shoots his little girl and the low caste man she has begun to look all starry eyed at, and exiles the man’s poor family to the foothills of the town.
Thirty years on, the rich wastrels of the ruler’s a piece of the town (known as Upri) and the dedicated ordinary people who now dwell in the foothills (Bairi) lead starkly distinctive lives.
While Upri, once rich, is rendered infertile throughout the years because of absence of water, Bairi has been changed into lavish rural area on account of its ambitious inhabitants – they are knowledgeable in water protection techniques and manage to store all the downpour dilute that streams to them from Upri consistently.
Heading these warring sub-towns are Raja Braj Singh Deo and Kharu Pehelwan individually.
While the film for the most part comprises of humorous set pieces to push exactly how water legislative issues comes to fruition, the film’s story just picks up force with the passageway of the film’s heroes – Deo’s Raj (Kunal Kapoor) and Kharu’s little girl Paro (Radhika Apte).
Which is not to say that the pair convey any more meat to the film than its written work – and vivacious performances of Shukla and Grover, every one of them periodically viable – have presented.
While Shukla, as the hilariously insensible Raja impeccably possesses all the necessary qualities – his bloated casing tells the (probably inadvertent) backstory of an imperial life disintegrated with extensive measures of alcohol – his depiction functions as though simply coincidentally.
Grover, for the majority of the film, is a fuming chaos of a sharp man who neglects to summon any reaction with the exception of a couple giggles.
Kunal Kapoor, making his acting rebound after Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana, is firm, awkward even, as the hesitant beneficiary to a rotting kingdom, which lives up to expectations for his character.
Some of his better minutes are with his onscreen father, Shukla, as they play off one another’s lines and non-verbal communication.
Radhika’s blandly named Paro is the honorable town young lady – I would go so far as to say that she’s the singular case out of many others who pulls off her character with a certain level of conviction.
Other than the charas-adoring town minister, obviously, who does complete equity to his deceptive god man with style.
Given how water governmental issues has ruled incomparable in a few sections of India for a long time, a parody in view of the issue accompanies unlimited conceivable outcomes and desires.
Sadly, the storytelling in Kaun Kitne Paani Mein consistently starts out with much constrain yet misses the mark regarding understanding its potential.
