''Ishta'' ( en, Liking) is a 2011 Kannada-language romance film directed by R.P. Krishna and produced by RMV Combines. The film is Bhoomika Chabria's and Santosh Swarbi's debut film. The film was released on 21 October 2011. Cast *Santhosh as Krishna *Bhoomika as Nanda *Ravi Teja as Ravi Reception Critical response A critic from ''The New Indian Express'' wrote "The main disadvantage is the absence of humour which is required to break the monotony.
