Tillaikhombee (English: Caterpillar, also written as Tillaikhombi) is a 2010 Manipuri film directed by Khwairakpam Bishwamittra and produced by Jiri Budha under the banner of Ningshing Mami Production, Jiribam.[1] It stars Raju Nong, Huirem Seema, Nillachandra and Sonia Hijam in the lead roles.[2] The movie was premiered as a press show at Cinema Paradiso, Thangal Bazar on 9 April 2010.[3] It was later released at Pratap Talkies, Paona Bazar and many other theatres of Manipur in 2010.
The film bagged two awards at the 1st MANIFA 2012 organised by Sahitya Seva Samiti, Kakching.[4]
The film is about love, hatred, corruption, competition for power and revenge. Yaiphaba and Lemba become victims to the trap set up by ill-minded Keirenjao. He befriends politicians, police and militants to enable him to execute illegal works successfully. In sharp contrast, Memthoi (Keirenjao's daughter) loves Nungshiba (Yaiphaba's adopted son). With the passage of time, the rule of karma plays out and Keirenjao gets killed.
