Watch full length India movie Kaun Kitney Paani Mein with subtitles.The film wryly expresses the changes in hierarchy, caste and the power equation when water, the most important. Other than the charas-loving village priest, of course, who does complete justice to his hypocritical god man with flair. Radhika’s unimaginatively named Paro is the dignified village girl - I would go so far as to say that she’s the only one who pulls off her character with a certain degree of conviction. Some of his better moments are with his onscreen father, Shukla, as they play off each other’s lines and body language. Kunal Kapoor, making his acting comeback after Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana, is stiff, awkward even, as the reluctant heir to a decaying kingdom, which works for his character. Grover, for the better part of the film, is a seething mess of a bitter man who fails to evoke any reaction except for a few laughs. While Shukla, as the comically ignorant Raja perfectly fits the bill - his bloated frame tells the (presumably unintentional) backstory of a royal life eroded with copious amounts of liquor - his portrayal works as if purely by accident. Which is not to say that the duo bring any more meat to the film than its writing - and spirited performances of Shukla and Grover, all of them occasionally effective - have offered up. While the film mostly consists of satirical set pieces to stress just how water politics takes shape, the film’s story only gains momentum with the entrance of the film’s protagonists - Deo's Raj (Kunal Kapoor) and Kharu’s daughter Paro (Radhika Apte). Heading these warring sub-villages are Raja Braj Singh Deo (Saurabh Shukla) and Kharu Pehelwan (Gulshan Grover) respectively. While Upri, once fertile, is rendered barren over the years due to lack of water, Bairi has been transformed into lush agricultural land thanks to its enterprising residents - they are well-versed in water conservation methods and manage to store all the rain water that trickles down to them from Upri every year.
