Raktha Kanneeru (2003)
Plot
Raktha Kanneeru (transl. Tears of Blood) is a 2003 Indian Kannada-language directed by Sadhu Kokila, starring Upendra and Ramya Krishna. The film was produced by Munirathna and was later dubbed in Telugu. The screenplay and dialogues were written by Upendra and the music was composed by Sadhu Kokila. Though a remake of the 1954 Tamil film Ratha Kanneer, the director claimed that his film was based on a Kannada play which was later adapted in Tamil as a play and subsequently into the 1954 film. However, the claim was found to be false since it was noticed that the play Kaalachakra penned by T. N. Balakrishna was actually based on the Tamil play Ratha Kaneeer - making it the oldest version of all. Upon release, the film was successful at the box office and was the highest grosser of the year. It was followed by a spiritual sequel titled Katari Veera Surasundarangi, released in 2012.
