Kotigobba (transl. One in a crore) is a 2001 Indian Kannada-language action film starring Vishnuvardhan, Priyanka Upendra and Ashish Vidyarthi. The film was a remake of Rajinikanth's 1995 Tamil film Baashha which itself was inspired from the 1991 Hindi movie Hum.[1] This movie was directed by Naganna and features soundtrack from Deva who also composed the music for the Tamil version. Vishnuvardhan was nominated for Filmfare Best Actor category.[2]
A spiritual successor, Kotigobba 2, starring Sudeep and directed by K. S. Ravikumar was released in 2016.
All the songs are composed and scored by Deva. The song "Annayya Thammayya" is a direct reused song of composer's own "Athaanda Ithaanda" from the Tamil film Arunachalam.[3] The album has six soundtracks and an instrumental number.[3] The songs "Sahasa Simha" and "Are Tai Tandana" were retained from the original Tamil film also composed by Deva. The audio launch was held at Capitol Hotel on 3 August 2001.[4]

A critic from Sify wrote that "On the whole Kotigobba is a great entertainer and a must see film for Vishnu fans".[5] A critic from Chitraloka wrote that "‘KOTIGOBBA’ is not only for fans. It is also for the family and friends. A well made action extravaganza".[6][7]
