Paduvaaralli Pandavaru
Paduvaaralli Pandavaru is a 1978 Indian Kannada language film directed by Puttanna Kanagal. It stars Ambareesh, Ramakrishna and Jai Jagadish as the protagonists and Aarathi makes an extended special appearance in the role of a journalist. The movie was an adaptation of the epic Mahabharata. Fit into a rural scenario, the film references some of the clashes between the Pandavas and the Kauravas.
The film was remade in Telugu as Manavoori Pandavulu by Bapu, who later directed the Hindi remake Hum Paanch and in Tamil as Pannai Purathu Pandavargal. Critics have called the 2018 Telugu movie Rangasthalam as an updated version of Mana Voori Pandavulu which was the Telugu remake of this movie.
