Police Matthu Dada is a 1991 Indian Kannada-language action film, directed by Thulasi-Shyam and produced by R. F. Manik Chand and K. Nithyanand. The film stars Vishnuvardhan, Sangeeta Bijlani, Roopa Ganguly and Srinath. The film has musical score by Bappi Lahiri. The film was simultaneously made in Hindi as Inspector Dhanush with slightly different supporting cast. While the Kannada version made fair buck, the Hindi version was a major dud at box office.
