Kannada
film
will

"Thithi
has
seen
amazing
organic
growth
and
has
grown
from

to
strength.
National
support
and
praise
from
people
like
Anurag
Kashyap
and
other
top
national
industry
leaders
has
been
incredibly
encouraging," the

said.
"Now
in
its
third
week,
Thithi
is
still
running
housefull
in
urban
centers
and
I
couldn't
be
happier
with
the
response.
Hollywood
and
Bollywood
have
dubbed
Thithi
as
a
universal
'world
film'.
After
seeing
the
unprecedented
response
to
Sairat,
running
with
English
subtitles
for
national
audiences,
I
can't
wait
to
see
the
response
to
Thithi
nationally," Raam
said
in
a
statement.

The
movie
started
its
journey
at
the

Work-in-Progress
Lab
(WIP)

Film
Bazaar,
2014
where
it
was

Feature.
