Vani (Kannada: ವಾಣಿ) is a 1943 Indian Kannada language musical drama film jointly directed by K. Hirannaiah and Gopal. Produced by Mysore T. Chowdaiah, the film featured himself in the lead role along with Bellary Lalitha and Bellary Rathnamala in the lead roles. Actress Pandari Bai and actor Musuri Krishnamurthy made their respective acting debuts in the film. Pandari Bai later became one of the most influential actresses in South Indian cinema.[1]

The film, although began shooting in 1940, took three years to finally release onto the screens.[2] The film was a box-office failure and the producer incurred losses after the release.[3]

The film's highlight was the two reel length real classical concert of the classical exponent Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar being shot completely.[4]
