Ondu Muttina Kathe (1987) watch online

Ondu Muttina Kathe (transl. Story of a Pearl) is a 1987 Indian Kannada language film directed by Shankar Nag, starring Rajkumar and Archana. It is based on John Steinbeck's 1947 novella The Pearl. This was the last directorial of Shankar Nag. It is also the only movie in which he directed Rajkumar, making him the youngest person to direct him.

The movie was not very successful but is still remembered for its screenplay and technical superiority. It is considered one of the cult classic movies in the history of Kannada cinema.

The film is notable for the underwater fighting sequence by Rajkumar at the age of 58 with a London-made artificial octopus shot in the Maldives ocean with a Canadian camera by a German cameraman. It was the first Indian film to have an underwater action sequence shot in an ocean outside India without the help of oxygen mask.
