'Bhoodana' is a 1962 Indian Kannada-language film jointly directed and produced by G. V. Iyer and P.S. Gopalkrishna. The film stars Rajkumar, Kalyan Kumar, Udaykumar and K. S. Ashwath. The film has musical score by G. K. Venkatesh.
The movie starred Rajkumar, Kalyan Kumar and Udaykumar - all 3 in full-fledged roles in a single movie for the only time in their career. All 3 had also worked together earlier in 'Gaali Gopura', however, Udaykumar only had a special appearance in that movie.

The theme of the movie was based on Vinoba Bhave's Bhoodan movement and also takes its inspiration from the novel 'Chomana Dudi' by K. Shivaram Karanth. The movie also speaks about the religious conversion of the marginalized. S. K. Bhagavan had revealed that while working as an assistant on this movie, they had approached Shivaram Karanth to procure the rights of 'Chomana Dudi' to make it into a movie. However, Karanth refused to officially sell the copyrights but permitted them to make a movie based on the story. A. Bhimsingh remade the movie in Tamil in 1965 as 'Pazhani' starring Sivaji Ganesan.
