Movie Review: Titli is a Genuinely ‘Hatke’ Affair

Kanu Behl’s ‘Titli’ is a package of good actors and nice direction, without any frills.

Titli is special because it doesn’t aim to please. The story telling is gritty and the characters and their motivations real. In fact, with the help of editor Namrata Rao, director Kanu Behl manages to make the first half a very engaging watch. However, post interval the tension ceases and his vision seems to dwindle. It’s all very well to make a realistic film but to bombard us with incessant visuals of people spitting or vomiting is not just distasteful but also seems unnecessary.
