Anantana Avantara (transl. Anantha's urgencies) is a 1989 Indian Kannada-language adult comedy film directed by and starring Kashinath. It was the debut movie of the actress Anjali in a full-fledged lead role. The movie is a light–hearted comedy about the ordeals of a newly married man. It set a trend in the comic films in Kannada and established Kashinath as a comic story teller. However, at the time of release, the movie met with several controversies primarily for the taboo subject on which the story was built. Some even considered the movie to have made a negative impact on the youngsters of that time. The movie also introduced Upendra as the lyrics writer and assistant director who also appeared as Kamadeva in one of the songs. The movie was dubbed in Telugu in the same year as Vintha Sobhanam and in Hindi as Namkeen Honeymoon in 1991.[2][3] The movie was remade in Telugu in 2006 as Please Sorry Thanks.[4]
