Doorada Betta is a 1973 Kannada-language film directed by Siddalingaiah. The film starred Rajkumar and Bharathi Vishnuvardhan in lead roles with Balakrishna, K. S. Ashwath, Leelavathi and Sampath playing supporting roles. The film, along with Mooruvare Vajragalu was Rajkumar's last movie in black-and-white. This movie was the last venture featuring the celebrated team — Rajkumar, Siddalingaiah and Bharathi. The core plot of the movie is loosely based on the National Award winning 1965 Marathi movie Sadhi Mansa.
This was the last film where Rajkumar and Bharathi were seen together. It was also Rajkumar's last collaboration with Siddalingaiah. This is also the only Kannada movie where popular singer Asha Bhonsle has lent her voice for a song and dance number. The movie saw a modest theatrical run.
