'Itha Oru Snehagatha' is a 1997 Indian Malayalam romance film, written and directed by Captain Raju. The film stars himself, Vikram, and Laila in the leading roles. It was dubbed and released in Tamil as 'Thrill' in May 2002, shortly after the success of 'Dhill', in which Vikram and Laila had featured.

Church Father Daniel (Captain Raju) is appointed as the junior priest of the town church and subsequently tries to unite the warring population of Hindus and Christians in the town.
