Mithayi Mane (released in film festivals under the translated title Candy House) is a 2005 Kannada-language film directed by Aarathi (whose daughter wrote the screenplay). The title was inspired by the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel. The film explores the theme of how children would find fulfillment in a candy house they came across in a forest. Actually, the sweetness and fulfillment is illusory; the reality is that there is a witch living inside who uses the appearance of the house to catch children, so she can cook them and eat them.[1]
