Prarthane

Prayer) is a 2012 Indian Kannada-language film directed by Sadashiva Shenoy and starring Anant Nag, Prakash Raj and Pavitra Lokesh in lead roles.

Prarthane is a bold film in times of wanton neglect of legacies built with blood and sweat.

"[6] A critic from News18 India wrote "Veera Samarth gives a good background score for the film and the song "Jayabharathi" is soothing to ears.

Her plea for Kannada medium schools, that forms part of the climax, is nothing short of a histrionic equivalent of hara-kiri.

The main problem of the film is a weak script and even the background score which, at some places, sounds like the ‘bits’ inserted in seedy morning shows".
