Thithi

It's no easy task to make a movie where none of the 'actors' are actors, and still end up with something entertaining. Please watch it if you haven't already!

It's very satirical. I personally do not see any specific 'comment' in the society. The social structure given is perfectly fine. It is jus a nice, well written, play-like brilliant piece of movie.

I viewed this movie at the current New Zealand International Film Festival...

It wasn't bracketed as a "highly recommended" watch by the catalogue editors, however to be blunt, I think they've missed a trick. The very realistic nature of this film allows it to resonate strongly with people of all ages, and the humour is very subtle, yet well received.

The audience is left with a somber feeling in their stomach, pondering a world in which wealth and greed seem to prevail over family and well-being.

You could be forgiven for thinking this film might be slightly dull after reading the synopsis, but I assure you it would be a poor assumption. A great, whole-hearted watch!

"Thithi wont bore you as you will get engaged with characters. Its a must watch movie"

My rating- 4/5 (Dont miss this flick)

Positives- 1.) Screenplay and direction- The best part of screenplay is that it was able to mix humor in a slow paced story making it a satirical comedy. Even though the movie lags, the director was able to keep our attention to the characters and their problems. Each and every dialogues were realistic and also was able to provide natural humor to the plot. So screenplay and direction needs to be appreciated for following variety and experimental film making style.

2.) All actors performance- Each and every actors performance was excellent and looked totally real.

Negatives- 1.)Duration- Duration could have been reduced a bit because it was lagging.

Is it a must watch?

Yes, no doubt about it.

Overall- Watch this award winning movie and its worth it!! My rating- 4/5 (Dont miss this flick) For more reviews go to- Ridinbal movie reviews. Ridinbal movie reviews has all language movie reviews (English, Kannada, Malayalam,Telegu,Tamil,Hindi,Arabic,Iranian)

#8.Speaking of non-actors, almost all the actors in the film have never acted before. The makers handpicked regular villagers including farmers to play themselves on the screen

#9. There's a very good chance for Thithi to be India's official entry to the Oscars next year. Thithi was the only Indian film competing in the international international category at the 17th Jio Mami Mumbai Film Festival. With 11 international awards already in its kitty, film scholars are already backing Thithi to be India's next entry to the Oscars
