Titli is not a story of a dysfunctional family, because calling these set of ruthless people dysfunctional will be an understatement. But even in this relentlessly downbeat tale of ghastly inane characters there is a coming-of-age film that’s just looking for proper wings to fly away from the gun & the hammer. The title character Titli is not a butterfly because not even in it’s lightest moments you see any glimmer of beauty. But he is a spider who is hanging by a very thin thread of lies, betrayal and double-cross, and yet he is trying hard, not fall off.
