Reviews of Kannada Family Movies to Watch in Hindi
Critically acclaimed (Won Golden Leopard at Locarno Film Festival)
Review of Thithi (2016): This movie is a slice of life drama about three generations reacting differently to the death of a 101 year old family elder. It’s raw, funny, and very natural. I personally loved the village setting and how real the characters felt.
Behind‑the‑Scenes Insights: The film used non professional actors from a village in Karnataka, which makes everything look and feel very authentic. The director Raam Reddy won many awards for this simple yet powerful film.
Review of RangiTaranga (2015): This is not your usual family drama. It’s a suspense thriller with no vulgarity or bad scenes, so it’s safe to watch with elders and kids. I was hooked from beginning to end with all the twists and turns.
Behind‑the‑Scenes Insights: RangiTaranga became the first Kannada movie to release in the USA on a large scale. The cinematography and background score stand out even today.
Review of Selfie Mummy Googl Daddy: Hey yaar, Selfie Mummy Googl Daddy is a fun Kannada comedy drama about a family hooked on mobiles – the parents try to fix their kids’ addiction. First half is hilarious and relatable, but second half gets a bit preachy. Good acting by Srujan Lokesh and Meghana Raj, with a nice social message. Worth a watch for families, I’d give it 3/5.
Behind‑the‑Scenes Insights: Made by 80 regular parents (not film folks) under Aakasha Butti Cinemas to show real-life phone issues. Shot during Covid, directed by Madhu Chandra who wanted to mix laughs with lessons. Won awards at San Diego and Bengaluru fests, and it’s on Prime Video now!
