Gandu Bherunda (transl. Dual headed bird)^[1] is a 1984 Indian Kannada-language adventure drama film directed by Rajendra Singh Babu, featuring an ensemble cast and based on the American film Mackenna's Gold.^[2]^[3] The plot involves an epigraphist and a geologist on a hunt for an ancient treasure in an island "Hasta Dweepa" (Palm Island), from the then 700-year-old Bherunda kingdom. The film is said to be ahead of its time of release and is considered "technically brilliant". However, it failed to perform commercially at the time.^[2] The 1987 Hindi film Khazana was partially based on this film. This was the first combination of Srinath, Ambareesh and Shankar Nag.
