Muthina Haara

A Necklace of Pearls) is a 1990 Indian Kannada-language war drama film directed by Rajendra Singh Babu.

A portion of the core plot of the film is partially based on Ernest Hemingway's 1929 novel, A Farewell to Arms.

[2] Achchappa, serving as a jawan in the British Indian Army in Burma, is injured while the World War II is raging.

Achchappa returns to work leaving Annapurna, who has now quit her job, with her in-laws; father-in-law Belliappa has retired as a havaldar.

Annapurna gives birth to a son, Veeraraju, but childbirth complications lead to her uterus being removed to save her life, leaving her unable to bear another child.

A guilt-ridden Annapurna reveals to them about their son's death and Achchappa's unwell mother dies from the shock.

The schedule did not progress as planned "because of frequent disturbances and exchange of fire between the Indian forces and separatist elements" and they did not allow Suhasini to attend the shoot so Singh Babu had to talk to the then Chief Minister of Kashmir, Farooq Abdullah to let her enter the shooting spot.

[12] According to Singh Babu, the lyrics of the song "Devaru Hoseda" compares four seasons of the nature with four phases of the human life.

When Babu and Hamsalekha met M. Balamuralikrishna to sing this song, he initially refused; however he agreed after repeated requests.

[13] The recording took place at Prasad Studios, Chennai from "9 pm and concluded at around 3 am the next day" as Balamuralikrishna was dissatisfied "with his intonation and wanted to reach perfection.
