Nee Thanda Kanike (English : The Gift You Bought) is a 1985 Indian Kannada-language film, directed and produced by Dwarakish. The film stars Vishnuvardhan, Girish Karnad, Jayasudha and C. R. Simha in the lead roles. It is a remake of the Hindi film Sharaabi, (1984), which itself was loosely based on the 1981 American film Arthur.[1] The film was not a big success.[2] Jayasudha acted as a Kannada heroine for the first time after Jaya Prada backed out.
