Gandhada Gudi (ⓘ transl. The abode of Sandalwood trees) is a 1973 Indian Kannada-language action drama film directed by Vijay and produced by M. P. Shankar. Rajkumar in his 150th film portrays an honest forest officer Kumar and Vishnuvardhan plays the antagonist, Anand, though his character is redeemed at the end of the film. Kalpana, M. P. Shankar, Narasimharaju and Balakrishna star in other important roles. The movie also marked the last joint venture of the legendary pair of Rajkumar - Narasimharaju.
The film was remade in Hindi in 1979 as Kartavya. It was dubbed in Malayalam in 1974 as Chandana Kaadu. It was the first Indian film to be made on the themes of forest protection and wildlife conservation.
