Dasavala

Dasavala is a 2013 Kannada drama film starring Prem and Aishwarya Menon in the lead roles. The film is directed by M. S. Ramesh, and also stars Hema Choudhary, Rangayana Raghu and Avinash. Dasavala was released on 11 October 2013.[1] Anitha Bhat featured in an item song in Dasavala.[2] The storyline of the movie was similar to two more Kannada movies - Director's Special and Karodpathi. It was also reported that the concept of all these films could be traced back to the 1996 Spanish language Brazilian film Familia (also known as Segredos em Familia) in which a lonely rich man hires actors to act as his family members on his birthday.[3] [4]

Each one of them has some sentimental story which reflects the present day society. As the story progresses, the plot unfolds and each one of them are back in their own house.
