Amruthavarshini (transl. Rain of immortal nectar) is a 1997 Indian Kannada-language romantic drama film written, photographed and directed by Dinesh Baboo. It stars Suhasini, Ramesh Aravind and Sarath Babu.[1][2] Nivedita Jain appears in a cameo role. It features Ramesh Arvind playing a negative role for which he was widely praised. The film revolves around the three central characters of a husband (Sharath), wife (Suhasini) and a friend (Ramesh) who intrudes into the couple's life and turns their life into tragic events.[3]
Upon release, the film was declared a blockbuster hit with all the songs of the soundtrack composed by Deva becoming evergreen hits.[4] The film was one of the highest grossers at the box-office for the year 1997.[5] The film was awarded with multiple State Awards and Filmfare Awards, particularly for the story and acting.
The film was subsequently dubbed in Telugu with same title name and in Tamil as Uyirinum Melaaga.[6] In Malayalam, the film was remade as Mazhavillu (1999) by the same director.
