Tihar is a heartwarming short film celebrating the cherished Hindu festival of brothers and sisters. Bipana and Kalpana, two sisters living in the United Kingdom, invite their brothers, Suraj, Naresh, Dhiraj, to join them for a special Tihar celebration. The siblings, originally from Nepal, come together on this meaningful day, sharing laughter, love, and traditions far from their homeland. The brothers present thoughtful gifts to their sisters as a token of love, and together they light diyas, exchange blessings, and enjoy a festive meal. The film highlights the essence of Tihar as a time to strengthen family bonds. It reminds viewers that amidst life's challenges, festivals provide a perfect opportunity to pause, reconnect, and cherish time with loved ones. The message is simple yet profound: family gatherings and celebrations are the true essence of life.

Directed by Kumud Pant, Tihar leans on a strong ensemble — Kumud Pant, Bidhyabati Pant, Janaki Pant — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2021.
