Inthi Ninna Preethiya (transl. Yours beloved) is a 2008 Indian Kannada-language drama film written, directed and co-produced by Duniya Soori. 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. While the cinematography, music direction and art director received praises, the film's screenplay and direction was criticized for glorifying the alcoholism.
