Kittu Puttu is a 1977 Indian Kannada-language comedy drama film directed by C. V. Rajendran and produced by Dwarakish. The film stars Vishnuvardhan,^[1] Dwarakish, Manjula, K. Vijaya and Vaishali Kasaravalli.^[2] The film was widely appreciated for its songs and story upon release. The songs tuned by Rajan–Nagendra were huge hits.

The movie is a remake of 1967 Tamil movie Anubavi Raja Anubavi which was also earlier remade in Hindi in 1973 as Do Phool. Kittu Puttu went on to also inspire the 1993 Hindi movie Aankhen.^[3]

The dual role played by Nagesh was reprised by Mehmood in the Hindi version and by Dwarakish in the Kannada version. Earlier, the triple role played by Nagesh in Panakkara Kudumbam was reprised by Mehmood in the Hindi version (Humjoli) and by Dwarakish in the Kannada version (Bhale Huduga).
