Jeevana Chaitra (English: Life History) is a 1992 Indian Kannada language feature film directed by the duo Dorai — Bhagavan starring Rajkumar and Madhavi in lead roles. It marked the re-entry of Rajkumar in films after a hiatus of 3 years and was an instant hit. The film is based on a Kannada novel Vyapthi Prapthi written by Vishalakshi Dakshinamurthy and was earlier named as Simhadriya Simha. The film re-affirmed the hold Rajkumar had on Kannada audiences.
The characterization of Rani Mukerji's role in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham was based on the role played by Sudharani in this movie.
For the song "Naadamaya", Rajkumar won the National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer at the 40th National Film Awards. The film won four awards at the 1992–93 Karnataka State Film Awards; First Best Film, Best Actor (Rajkumar), Best Music Director (Upendra Kumar) and Best Dialogue Writer (Chi. Udaya Shankar).
Jeevana Chaitra tracks the life and times of Vishwanath, from his youth, through the days of his jodi inamathi- when he becomes Jodidar Vishwanatha Raya to his end. Being an ideal son, he expresses his interest in Meenakshi (Madhavi) as his life partner, and presents the case before his parents. Though Meenakshi is enamoured towards Vishwanath, she fears that she is too poor to join ranks of Jodidar's. However, Vishwanath's father is more than satisfied with his son's choice and accepts the marriage proposal. Meenakshi and Vishwanath get married. Vishwanath takes over the mantle of Jodidar of Simhaadri and other 8 villages from his father and tries to better the lives of the people of his 8 villages.
