Vasantha Geetha is a 1980 Indian Kannada-language romantic drama film, directed by the Dorai–Bhagavan duo. The film stars Rajkumar, Gayathri and Master Lohith.
The story, lyrics and screenplay were written by Chi. Udaya Shankar. The movie saw a theatrical run of 25 weeks.
A portion of the song Kannalle Eno from this movie was re-used in the title track of the 2010 movie Jackie.
Co-director Bhagavan had revealed that he was so impressed by an Iranian film which he saw at an international film festival at New Delhi that he used the core plot of that film as a reference point for the storyline of this film. Critics have noted that Chi. Udayashankar had penned the story inspired by the movie Model Love which he had seen at an international film festival in Bangalore. Similarities have also been noted with Avery Corman's 1977 novel Kramer versus Kramer which was adapted into a film of the same name (1979), released 9 months before this film.
