Avale Nanna Hendthi (transl. She is my wife) is a 1988 Indian Kannada-language comedy drama film directed by S. Umesh and K. Prabhakar, and produced by Vijay Films. It stars Kashinath and Bhavya. Dealing with the prevalent social issue of dowry system, the plot revolves around a man's struggle in getting his sister's marriage arranged to fulfill his mother's and sisters-in-law's desire for a dowry, despite being in love himself and wanting to marry first.[1] It features Mukhyamantri Chandru, N. S. Rao, Gora Bheema Rao, Thyagaraja Urs and Tara in supporting roles.
The film was remade in Telugu as Pelli Chesi Choodu (1988),[2] in Tamil as Jadikketha Moodi (1988)[3] and in Hindi as Jawani Zindabad (1990).[4] Hamsalekha was the music director for both Tamil and Telugu versions.
