Development

In February 2015, it was announced that lyricist Kaviraj would direct a film for Thoogudeepa Productions, a production house run by brothers Dinakar Thoogudeepa and Darshan. [1] Kaviraj also conceived the film's story based on an incident from his family. Speaking to The New Indian Express , he said, "It was a humourous[ sic ] incident and I just weaved[ sic ] a love story around it. The incident per se is the USP of the film. While there were many stories that used to come to my mind which initially would make me feel that it had the potential of becoming a blockbuster, I would end up finding too many loopholes in it soon. But it was different in the case with Maduveya... The story grew at every stage". [2]

Casting

The Times of India reported of Amulya's signing on 1 March 2015, and speaking of her role, she said, "I've signed this film especially because my character is very different from the ones that I've essayed until now. I will be playing a college girl, who is more of a tomboy." [3] An audition for the male lead was conducted by the makers in Bangalore between 1–2 March, and following a total of three rounds, shortlisting over a hundred from over a thousand entrants, Suraj Gowda, who had in 2014 filmed with Kahi, was selected. [4] Kaviraj revealed that Anant Nag, Achyuth Kumar would appear in supporting roles.

Filming

The film was officially launched on 9 May 2015 on the sets of the television show Majaa Talkies aired on Colors Kannada. The launch saw the presence of lead actors, director, producer and music director. [5] Filming however, began on 29 April, and completed 50% of the filming after 20 days. The second schedule was completed in Chikmagalur beginning July. [6] Filming for a song "Hudugi", was done in Bangalore, before the team left for Malaysia to complete two filming for two more song sequences. [7] The film was shot in DTS. [8] Having initially planned to complete filming in a total of 60 days, it was wrapped up after 48 days. [9]

Release and reception

Maduveya Mamatheya Kareyole was released on 8 January 2016 in over 150 theatres across Karnataka. [12] It was distributed under the banner of Thoogudeepa Distributors by Meena Thoogudeepa Srinivas. Upon theatrical release, the film received generally positive reviews from film critics. Alongside the screenplay, the performances of Anant Nag and Achyuth Kumar won unanimous praise.

Reviewing the film for The New Indian Express , A. Sharadhaa said the film had "nuances of love, family bonding, misunderstanding and a balanced sprinkling of music, drama, and crisp narrative". She further added, "It is evident that simplicity has been handled elegantly, which is the film’s strength. It also maintains excellent production qualities. The first time director’s screenplay is straightforward, allowing everyone to become enamoured by the characters." [13] Archana Nathan of The Hindu compared the plot of the film to a 1999 Malayalam film, Niram , and wrote, "Interestingly, despite its unoriginal plot line, Kaviraj’s film makes for an entertaining watch. And the credit for this goes to the cast, especially the combination of Ananth Nag and Achyuth Kumar and their characterisation." [14] Shyam Prasad S. of Bangalore Mirror commended the comic scenes in the films and of the acting performances of Nag and Kumar, he wrote, "Anant Nag and Achyuth are beyond compare. Their presence and acting is very life-like..." He concluded writing, "High standards of production keep the film colourful and glossy throughout. The attention to detail makes up for the grandeur of cinematic commercialism." [15]

The reviewer for Deccan Chronicle rated the film 3.5/5, called it a "simplest story with an effective narration" and wrote of the acting performances, "Ananth Nag, Achyuth Kumar and Amulya with her bullet riding avatar are the entertaining pillars in terms of performances, but for the debut hero Suraj, he definitely needs to learn from the scratch, be it acting, expression or even dancing". [16] Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India rated the film 3.5 out of 5 as well, and said of Kaviraj's direction in the film that it had the "soulful touch" of directors Basu Chatterjee, Sai Paranjpye and Hrishikesh Mukherjee and a "dash of the youth" from Karan Johar, Sooraj Barjatya and Aditya Chopra. She felt that the film had "rich production values", and concluded writing praises of the acting and the technical departments. [17] S. Viswanath of Deccan Herald rated the film two out of five and wrote, "Though no great shakes, the film follows the formula to ensure that the audiences get their money’s worth." He praised the performances of Nag and Kumar, and felt that the "film’s music score and lyrics [of the soundtrack] of Kaviraj" was a "downer". [18]
