Cast: Kunal Kapoor, Radhika Apte, Saurabh Shukla, Gulshan Grover.Direction: Nila Madhab Panda.Genre: Drama.Duration: 1 hour 52 minutes
Story: Set in 1985, the film is a satire on water crisis, caste discrimination and honour killing that plague a remote village in Odisha. While the 'upper caste' king exploits his hapless subjects, tables turn when the latter take control through their vision for agriculture and water conservation techniques.
Review: The royal Singh Deo family has ruled Upari for the longest time and they haven't been benevolent rulers. Their subjects are deeply hurt by the cruelty imposed by the reigning king's father. His casteist mentality does irreparable damage. He throws the poor out of his village and forbids them from setting foot on his 'pious' soil again.

In dire straits, the king (Saurabh Shukla) begs his 'English-speaking' lawyer son (Kunal Kapoor) to woo Paro (Radhika Apte), daughter of Bairi's aspiring politician Kharu (Gulshan Grover) to regain power and lost glory.
