Thithi is still seeing packed houses

The fifth edition of the

Dharamshala International Film Festival

recently commenced with a packed house screening of director Raam Reddy's National Award-winning

Kannada

film,

Thithi

.

Overwhelmed with the audience response, Raam, who was present at the screening said, 'It's a great honour to be here in this gorgeous, picturesque, idyllic place that offers a pure and idealistic celebration of cinema. People braved the conditions, which were sometimes not the most favourable, and I heard a lot of laughter, which made people interact with the story. It's a really warm audience with a warm feeling. This is really just a celebration of cinema.'
