Kanchilda Baale is a Tulu Language Film directed and produced by Raghunath Rai Kumbra.

A film showing conflict between superstitions and beliefs of people highlights the bhootharadhane (spirit worship) of the region.

Manu, a doctor who lives in the U.S., visits his mother along with his wife and daughter, in the ancestral house after several years.

Manu said that he would not allow his daughter to participate in the ceremony as he and his wife had deferred having a baby because she was still pursuing her studies for some years after they got married.

In many ways, the film is about negotiating between tradition and modernity, and faith and superstition, as well as the omnipresent caste.
