Theertharoopa Thandeyavarige (transl. To the beloved father) is a 2026 Indian Kannada‑language family drama film written and directed by Ramenahalli Jagannatha and produced under the Jai Chamundeshwari Productions banner.[1] It stars debutant Nihar Mukesh,[2] and Rachana Inder in the lead, alongside Sithara, Rajesh Nataranga, Ravindra Vijay, Ajith Hande, and Ashwitha R.

Pruthvi, a popular travel vlogger, harbors resentment toward his single mother Janaki and keeps his distance from home. As he grows close to Akshara, the daughter of a senior journalist, a chain of revelations forces him to confront the past—particularly the disappearance and public stature of his estranged father. The film traces Pruthvi’s search and the emotional reconciliation that follows, exploring friendships outside conventional labels, class divides within relationships, and the healing of fractured family bonds.
