Kodanda Rama is a 2002 Indian Kannada language romantic comedy film directed, scripted and composed by V. Ravichandran. Besides Ravichandran, the film stars Shiva Rajkumar, Sakshi Shivanand, Asha Saini and Mohan Shankar. 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.[1]

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."[2]
