Abstract:

A film is a medium to entertain the mass at large. However, the mass puller initially is the film's title that helps grab the attention of audiences of various classes to get the updates and get them to the theatres. The word Title origins from old English "Titul" and old French "Title" and "Titulus" from Latin. Titles are the names given to identify an article, book, play, music album, film, and other works. The purpose of this article is to interpret the unique film titles sensationalised among the audience. The inimitable titles and captions that made the audience brainstorm and also created the required commercial hype for a film to entice the audience are discussed in this article. The methodology applied here is based on the descriptive linguistic method, which directly relates to the film titles. The article analyses the impression the film title of the films directed by Upendra created among the audience of both domestic and other regional languages.

Keywords:

Film Title, Kannada Films, Upendra, Unique Title.
