Aa Karaala Ratri (transl. 'That Intense Dark Night') is a 2018 Indian Kannada-language thriller film directed and produced by Dayal Padmanabhan. The film is based on a Kannada play by Mohan Habbu which was translated from the tragic English play Lithuania by Rupert Brooke.[2][3]
In September 2020, director Dayal announced that he will be directing the Telugu remake of the movie which would be produced by Allu Aravind. The Telugu remake titled Anaganaga O Athidhi was directly released on the Aha.[4][5] He had also revealed that he would be directing the Tamil remake.[6] The Tamil version was titled Kondraal Paavam released in 2023.[7] The film was remade in Malayalam in 2023 as Pakalum Paathiravum,[8] thereby making it the fifth Kannada film to be remade in three other South Indian languages after School Master, Sampathige Savaal, Devara Kannu and U Turn. Both the Tamil and Malayalam versions were released in March 2023 within one week.[9]
