'Titli', an independent film which has been shot a lot like a documentary with the support of Yash Raj Films and Dibakar Banerjee Productions, promises to offer a story of a dysfunctional family and desperate attempts of a young boy (Shashank Arora) to escape from the tyrannical situation. The film's story and actors' powerful performances were quite evidently the reason that helped ‘Titli’ get selected for the prestigious Un Certain Regard section at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.
Directed by Kanu Behl, who assisted director Dibakar Banerjee on 'Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!' and co-wrote 'LSD: Love, Sex Aur Dhokha', has also used instances from personal life to make it real. The film which also features his father Lalit, also gives an insight into the strained relationship with him as it talks about the patriarchy in a highly consumerist world. The film also features Ranvir Shorey, Amit Sial, and mark Bollywood debut of Shashank Arora and Shivani Raghuvanshi.

11.17 AM #Titli aka #ShashankArora stands in stark contrast to his brutal family members, especially @RanvirShorey.
11.18 AM Why is marriage always seen in terms of business? Sad it is treated as a venture that should only bring profit. #Titli
11.19 AM #ShivaniRaghuvanshi plays a typical Delhi girl. She speaks her mind, doesn't give in to any pressure and confident in life. #Titli
11.21 AM This one sequence where #ShivaniRaghuvanshi witnesses how #Titli's family uses carjacking business will leave you numb. It is so brutal.
11.23 AM #Titli is also striking in the usage of score. Scenes look real with spiritual songs, strong coughs, gargles playing in the background.

12.10 PM Desperate measures to earn money and reunite with one's lover is so painful. This also includes undergoing personal injury. #Titli
12.11 PM With every frame world of #Titli gets more scary, toxic, violent. Tranqulity doesn't exist here. @KanuBehl @RanvirShorey @Shashankaroraa
