Bengaluru/IBNS: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai broke down at a screening of the film "777 Charlie" on Monday and called it a 'must-watch'.

The film, Bommai said, reminded him of his dog Snooby that died last year, just a few weeks before he became the Chief Minister.

Kannada movie 777 Charlie, released on June 10, depicts the bond between a man and his pet dog Charlie.

It has garnered a positive response since its release.

The Chief Minister, who was seen in images wiping his tears, also recommends it as a must-watch.

"There have been movies about dogs but this movie shows animals with emotions. The dog expresses its emotions through its eyes. The movie is good, and everyone should watch it. I keep talking about unconditional love. A dog's love is unconditional love, which is pure," Bommai told reporters.

To the hon'ble chief minister of Karnataka, Shri @BSBommai we thank you so much for watching #777Charlie ✨ pic.twitter.com/9Mp5Bcbzts
