Mysoora Mallige (transl. Jasmine of Mysuru) is a 1992 Indian Kannada-language drama film directed and co-written by T. S. Nagabharana[1] and produced by Srihari Khoday. The story is based on a 1942 work of the same title by the acclaimed poet K. S. Narasimhaswamy.[2] The film was an attempt to create a story based on the poetry.
The film's cast consisted mainly of actors from a theatrical background including Girish Karnad, Sudharani, Anand, Sundar Raj and H. G. Dattatreya.[3]
The film was well received upon release. It went on to win National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Kannada and the lyrical works by Narasimha Swamy fetched him the National Film Award for Best Lyrics.
