Aryabhata is a 1999 Indian Kannada-language drama film directed by K.S.Ramanath starring Ramesh Aravind and Soundarya. Though the plot twist was based on the 1954 movie Andha Naal, the title card credited the story to writer Sujatha.
When Anand, a young successful scientist with humble background, is found mysteriously murdered, the case falls on the shoulders of CBI officer who retraces the life of the scientist from his struggling days leading up to the day he died and pins down three primary suspects - his maid, boss and wife's cousin.
Srikanth of Deccan Herald wrote, "Director Ramanath has tried to provide justice to characterisation. But, he could have ensured a livelier presentation of the theme. The film is a sincere effort that lacks impact!"
