The film ‘Titli- har family, family nahi hoti’ was released across India on 30 October 2015.

On this achievement, Behl said “It’s a huge honour. The French Critics Syndicate has a long and ongoing relationship with recognising cinema that looks to push boundaries. To be in the company of other eminent films of the year, is heartening as a filmmaker. This belongs to the whole team of Titli, and we hope to continue the good work.”
