Kirataka is a 2011 Indian Kannada romantic comedy film directed by Pradeep Raj, starring Yash and Oviya in the lead roles. It is the remake of Tamil film, Kalavani (2010). The film was a success at the domestic box-office. This was the 3000th Kannada movie to be released. The film is centered around the rivalry between two neighboring villages with rival gangs in both competing in every aspect.
