“Thithi is that one film that I have seen thrice and I can see it any number of times. Don’t miss this gem,” he added.

Set in a remote village in South India, Thithi is a dramatic comedy about how three generations of sons react to the death of the oldest in their clan, a man named Century Gowda: a locally renowned, highly cantankerous 101-year-old man.

The film won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Kannada at the 63rd National Film Awards.
