Thithi - A tale of humor and Irony in the rural life of Karnataka



It’s not an ordinary tale for the commercial cinema lovers. It’s a film as said by many ‘Award winning thing’. But, it has Love and more importantly the humor, the loveable rural humor.

The characterization by the director is awesome as every character stands out. There are 3 main characters. There is a great grandfather called Century Gowda who died just now. The 3 characters are his son, grandson and great grandson. The son is a care free person who drinks and smokes and keeps enjoying. The grandson is keen on inheriting his grandfather’s property. The great grandson keeps hitting on a girl. Everyone have their own priorities and what happen on during the Thithi function of the dead forms the story?

The rural comedy stands out as it brings out the unique characters. The wife who keeps frying her husband. The friends of the great grandson who keeps giving humorous one liners. The women who runs an alcohol shop and also lends money. And particularly the crowd who comes to the Thithi only for eating the meat is a nice watch. And that the vehicle they use for transportation just for eating makes you laugh whole heartedly.

The director tries to explain the ironical part of the rural life. Their sadness even though they seem happy. Their longing for a good life. Impact of technology in the rural areas. And much more.

Overall, the film is a delight to watch with its fun moments <3

The climax is an unexpected and not the ordinary as we expect and that’s where the Director stands out. That’s where the Director tries to explain the Irony of life

Note: The grandfather character stands out. Watch out for his witty dialogues on how he sees life. His mannerisms are a delight to watch <3
