Sahukara is a 2004 Indian Kannada-language masala film directed by Om Prakash Rao and produced by K. Manju. It stars Vishnuvardhan, V. Ravichandran, Shashikumar, Rambha, and Anu Prabhakar. It was a remake of the Tamil film Muthu (1995), which itself based on the Malayalam film Thenmavin Kombath (1994).
The film was released on 24 September 2004 to generally positive reviews from critics, went on to become one of the blockbuster hits of 2004, and successfully screened for about 25 weeks in cinema halls.
S. N. Deepak of Deccan Herald wrote "Ravichandran has put in a good performance though the role is not much different from the ones he played earlier. Sashikumar is okay" but praised Vishnuvardhan "his saint-like role is small, impresses" and called Rangayana Raghu as "convincing villain" while also praising technical elements citing "Cinematography by Seetharam adds colours to the film. Music by Ramesh Ramanath is good".
A critic from Sify wrote " Sahukara is a remake of Tamil film Muthu, which itself was a remake of a Malayalam film directed by Priyadarshan. The glorious production values are a treat to watch along with the selection of artistes and technicians that are apt. The only problem that lacks in the film is the action scenes which are not well conceived". Anjali of Indiainfo wrote, "The costumes and the sets look elegant. On the whole, SAHUKARA is a complete family package filled with action, sentiment, love and comedy". A critic from IANS wrote, " Sahukara is a film for the masses. But it could have been a better film, were it not a frame-by-frame copy of the original".
