I always wondered why or what's the significance of the title name "KATHA" ??

Did they imply Katha meaning story ??

Or, KATTHA for Choona/ Kattha as used in Paan ?? I've heard the saying "Choona Lagaana". May be "Kattha Lagaana" is one step up or may be it means smooth talker ?? (Kattha is used in Paan for smoothing the Choona effect)

As in the film plot, Farooq Sheikh (and may be others too) is a smooth talker and tricks people.

It's definitely "katha" as in "story".

Meanwhile, Katha is now available on DVD from BIG HOME VIDEO as well.
