Kodanda Rama

Kodanda Rama is a 2002 Indian Kannada language romantic comedy film directed, scripted and composed by V. Ravichandran. Besides Ravichandran, the film stars Shivarajkumar, Sakshi Shivanand, Asha Saini and Mohan Shankar in the leading roles. The film was a remake of Malayalam film "Thenkasipattanam" (2000) directed by Rafi Mecartin. The film's widely acclaimed success led to its remake in Tamil with the same title name in 2002, in Telugu as "Hanuman Junction" (2001) and in Bengali as "Golmaal" (2008). However, the Kannada version did not match the success of its Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu versions.
Soundtrack.
The music was composed and lyrics written by V. Ravichandran. A total of 5 tracks have been composed for the film and the audio rights brought by Jhankar Music.
Reception.
The reviewer for "Screen" called the film a "rib-tickling comedy besides being an action feast" and that it "consists of a rare subject that is refreshing and fits the prominent stars." Before concluding that it was a "movie worth watching", the reviewer wrote, "While Ravichandran deserves full credit for making this a wholesome entertainer, it is Shivrajkumar who steals the show with wonderful emotional performance. The team of Mohan, Sadhu Kokila, Mandip Rai and Mandya Ramesh sends the audience in peels of laughter in the theatre."
