Milana (transl. Rendezvous) is a 2007 Indian Kannada-language romantic comedy drama film co-written and directed by Prakash, starring Puneeth Rajkumar and Parvathy in lead roles. The film was Parvathy's debut in Kannada cinema. The movie also features Pooja Gandhi, Dileep Raj, Sumithra and Mukhyamantri Chandru in prominent roles. Music for the film was composed by Mano Murthy.
Upon theatrical release on 14 September 2007, the film saw massive commercial success and completed a 500-day run in theatres making it the longest running Indian film ever in the history of Multiplexes.[1] Puneeth's performance won him the Karnataka State Film Award for Best Actor.[2] The film was dubbed into Malayalam as Ishtam Enikkishtam.[3]
The film was remade in Odia in 2014 as Something Something 2 and in Bengali in 2016 as Ki Kore Toke Bolbo thereby becoming the fourth Kannada movie after Anuraga Aralithu , Appu and Mungaru Male to be remade in two non-Hindi non-South Indian languages.[4] The 2013 Tamil film Raja Rani was reported to have been inspired by this movie.[5][6]
