Prathap is a 1990 Indian Kannada-language action film written and directed by V. Somashekhar. It stars Arjun Sarja, Malashri and Sudharani. The soundtrack and background score were composed by Hamsalekha.
Rani is a tribeswoman, who saves a person named Pratap from being chased by the police and soon falls in love with him, but she soon learns about Prathap's past as a Inspector who tried to exterminate illegal activities in the city and soon got framed by his enemies, where he also lost his loved ones in the process. Learning this, Rani decides to help Prathap in avenging his personal loss.
The soundtrack of the film was composed and lyrics written by Hamsalekha.[1] The audio was released by Lahari Music. The song "Prema Baraha" inspired the name of a 2018 film, and the song was reused in the film.[2] Coincidentally, Aishwarya Arjun, who stars in that film, was born during the making of the song.[3] Arjun called the song one of his favourites and keeps it as his caller tune.[4]
