Sakshatkara is a 1971 Indian Kannada-language drama film directed by Puttanna Kanagal and starring Dr. Rajkumar, Jamuna, Prithviraj Kapoor and R. Nagendra Rao. This was third and final collaboration of Kanagal and Rajkumar. Sundar Krishna Urs was the associate director on the film.[1] [2] [3]
The story revolves around the dangers of superstition, particularly when it concerns marriage and how unscrupulous elements in society could manipulate these beliefs to their benefit and lead to tragic consequences.
The music for the film was composed by M. Ranga Rao and lyrics was written by Kanagal Prabhakar Shastry.
The film had a huge opening thanks to the grand success of Puttanna Kanagal-Dr. Rajkumar duo's previous ventures, Mallammana Pavada and Karulina Kare but soon fizzled out.
