Pauli is a Dada Saheb Phalke award-winning film that highlights how long-run traditions/superstitions/culture can sometimes become a restriction to the overall growth of a community and its members. The short film beautifully touches on the emotional aspects of a single mother & daughter relationship, and the extent to which a parent can go to keep their child happy.

Pauli is the daughter of Savitri - a single mother, who both live in a remote village away from modern technology and development. While modern comfort is a dream, the village lacks the basic necessities of education, healthcare, and connectivity itself. In this world where everything seems still far away, will Pauli be able to bring a change with her small wish?

Pauli is a Marathi Short Film & National Award winner awarded for Best Short Film and best director at multiple film festivals including Chitra Bharti National Film Festival Bhopal for best actress, Best Director Award Winner at Dadasaheb Phalke Award Winner, NEXGEN Short Film Festival, GOA International Film Festival, Mumbai International Cult Film Festival, International Film Festival of Ahmednagar, Talking Frames International Film Festival Ratnagiri.
