Thutturi (The Bugle) is a National Award[2] winning (2006) Kannada children's film directed by P. Sheshadri, starring Karthik Sharma, Kishan Shrikanth, Prathama and H. G. Dattatreya.
Confined to homes for most of the year with heaps of homework and preparation for dreaded examinations, children jump with joy with declaration of summer holidays.
To retrieve Abhi and the old man from "street children", Hari virtually orders them to pack up and move to America immediately, much against his wishes.
He is unmoved by children's pleadings and their parents' request and, arranges for demolition of the playground to build a commercial complex.
The film ends with the old man appealing to all parents to dealing with children in the right way and grooming them for their all round development providing space for both study and play.
