Kashyap took to Twitter on Friday to urge fans to watch the film.

“'Thithi' is that one film that I have seen thrice and I can see it any number of times. Don't miss this gem,” he added.
Set in a remote village in South India, “Thithi” is a dramatic comedy about how three generations of sons react to the death of the oldest in their clan, a man named Century Gowda: a locally renowned, highly cantankerous 101-year-old man.
