Inthi Ninna Preethiya (Kannada: ಇಂತಿ ನಿನ್ನ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ, translation: Yours' beloved) is a 2008 Indian Kannada drama film written, directed and produced by Duniya Soori under the Suri Talkies banner.[1] The film's plot revolves around a family which struggles due to the bad effects of alcohol addiction.
The film features Srinagar Kitty (credited as Krishna), Bhavana and newcomer Sonu Gowda in pivotal roles. The film score and soundtrack were composed by Sadhu Kokila. The cinematography was done by Suri's previous associate Satya Hegde and was edited by Deepu S. Kumar.
The film was released on 29 February 2008 to mixed reviews from the critics.

Plot
Rajeev (Srinagar Kitty), hailing from a well-to-do family is a painter by passion. He falls in love with his friend's sister Namana (Sonu) much to the disapproval of his friend. The lovers part ways after some high level drama. Rajeev, dejected in life, hits the bar and begins to drink alcohol. He gradually goes to the highest level of addiction and spends his entire days drinking and getting abused by other people.
Unable to bare his plight, his brother forcefully gets him married off to Parimala (Bhavana). Despite this, he does not mend his ways and steals money at his own house to consume his drink. Eventually, he loses his wife to an accident and is left with his only daughter who shows a very promising talent in music. A series of tragic events occur and a musical professor (SPB) makes him realize his mistake of ignoring his daughter and her musical talent.
