Samyuktha is a 1988 Indian Kannada-language thriller film directed by K. N. Chandrashekar Sharma. The story is based on a novel of same name by Kakolu Saroja Rao.[1] The film stars Shiva Rajkumar, Balaraj, Chi Guru Dutt and debutant actress Veena.[2] The film was widely appreciated for its songs and story upon release. The songs composed by Singeetam Srinivasa Rao were huge hits. Singeetam also co-wrote the screenplay for this movie. The background score was composed by Shankar–Ganesh.

In an episode in Weekend with Ramesh, Shiva Rajkumar had revealed that initially the movie was supposed to have only 2 protagonists – Chi Guru Dutt and Balaraj as in the original novel. However, he was later on board to give credibility to the project.[3]
