'''''Putaani Party''''' ([[Kannada]]: ಪುಟಾಣಿ ಪಾರ್ಟಿ, [[English language|English]]: The Kid Gang) is a 2009 [[Kannada language]] [[feature film]]. Produced by [[Children's Film Society, India]], the film was shot in a village called Honnapura situated near the town of [[Dharwad]] in [[South India]]. The film uses local actors, most of them first timers who are new to the medium of films. The film has a particular dialect of [[Kannada]] that is spoken by a few in that part of [[India]].

This film has been scripted and directed by [[Ramchandra PN]], a graduate of the [[Film and Television Institute of India]], [[Pune]]. His earlier film ''[[Suddha (film)|Suddha]]'' had won the best Indian film at the Osian's Cinefan Festival of Asian Films, [[New Delhi]], 2007. ''Putaani Party'' is his second feature film and his first in [[Kannada]] language.

A [[Gram Panchayat]] (village governing body) in rural [[India]] facilitates the functioning of the Makkala Samiti (Children’s Committee) – a children’s body elected by the children themselves.

The committee acts as a pressure group in trying to get the [[local governance]] react to various social issues that it raises. Guided by a sympathetic school teacher, the children’s honesty and persistency ruffles many feathers among the adults, some of whom have been using the ‘Makkala Samiti’ for their own needs.

What follows is a subtle cat and mouse game, by the end of which the children hope to get their voice heard.

The film subtly speaks about the [[Children's rights]] to [[self governance]] and the pathetic attitude we adults have towards this issue.

==Controversies==
''Putaani Party'' was dragged into a controversy that was not of its own making, when one jury member of the National Film Awards revealed some bit of the jury deliberations to the press in Kerala. He claimed that [[Kesu (film)|Kesu]] the joint winner of the award was based on one of his earlier films, but claimed responsibility for Kesu jointly getting the award. Also, the jury member revealed that because no single film deserved the National Award for Best Children's Film, it was given to two films.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mathrubhumi.com/english/story.php?id=98054 |title=Source |publisher=Mathrubhumi.com |date=2010-09-17 |accessdate=2013-03-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714171240/http://www.mathrubhumi.com/english/story.php?id=98054 |archive-date=14 July 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
