Neeru Thandavaru (2018)

Ganga, a young girl lives in a 'Keri', a colony of so called 'lower caste' people. She lives with her mother Hampakka, Hampakka's brother Shivanna and his two children. On the other hand, so called 'upper caste' people, who live in the neighbouring town, are living in their own belief systems. The only river which is the source of drinking water for 'Keri, goes dry. A bunch of 'Keri' boys, under the leadership of their friend Chandru, keep appealing the authorities for the hand pump for already existing bore well. But their appeal goes unheard repeatedly. When 'Keri' people go to the town to get potable water from the only Well, they are denied water on the pretext of the sanctity of the well under the guise of religious rituals. This incidence kindles fire between 'Keri' boys and 'town' boys. Hampakka gives some wisdom to a stupidly ritualistic woman Sarsamma who is a self proclaimed protector of the well. Ganga stands by her mother. Finally, 'Keri' women succeed in convincing the concerned authorities and get the pump sanctioned. Disaster strikes. As 'Keri' bore well starts functioning, the Well in the town goes dry. The well water gets drifted to the bore well. The town goes dry without water. But nobody is ready to bring water from Keri. When town people try to get a water tanker, Chandru disrupts their effort. This does not go well with Hampakka, Shivanna and Ganga. Ganga gathers all Keri women and gets ready to take water from Keri Bore Well for the people of the town.
