Addinath aka Hanumant Babu Kendre is an ordinary man living in a Nagderwadi, a village in Nanded, plagued with drought. Paani follows his journey towards making the village independent of water, all while dealing with local goons, a budding romance, and other disruptions of daily life.[1] Hanumant Kendre’s marriage got called off by the girl Suvarna’s family due to water crisis in his drought prone village. Hanumant promised the girl that he would marry her the day he resolves this crisis in his village. "Will you wait for me?" He asked. What unfolded ahead is a breathtaking true story of human endeavor driven by love.
The film was screened at New York Film Festival in the United States of America and was awarded the Best Film on Environment/Conservation/Preservation at the 66th National Film Awards in 2019.[1][3]

Siddhant Adlakha of Firstpost stated "On paper, Paani amounts to a linear tale of steely determination overcoming the odds. However, in Adinath Kothare’s hands, it’s a nuanced character piece."[4]
