It stars Yash and Radhika Pandit in the lead roles. The supporting cast features Srinath, Achyuth Kumar and Malavika Avinash.

Contents

The film was announced in September 2013; filming commenced in April 2014 and ended in September 2014. It was shot primarily in Bangalore and Mysore, and significant portions were filmed in Chitradurga. The cinematography was done by Vaidy S. and was edited by K. M. Prakash. V. Harikrishna composed the film score and the soundtrack. [1]

The film was a commercial success, completing a 200-day theatrical run and emerged the highest grossing Kannada film of the year. [4] It was Yash's fifth consecutive success. [5] The film won multiple awards at the Filmfare Awards South and SIIMA Awards. The Tamil remake rights of the film was bought by Escape Artists Motion Pictures in 2015. [6] The film was remade in Marathi in 2016 as Mr. and Mrs. Sadachari [7] and in Odia in 2018 as Shakti thereby becoming the fifth Kannada film to be remade into two non-Hindi non-South Indian languages after Anuraga Aralithu , Appu , Mungaru Male and Milana . [8]

Plot

Ramachari is a short-tempered college-student, who is a die-hard fan of Vishnuvardhan from his childhood often watching his films. He gets inspired by the character Ramachari portrayed by Vishnuvardhan in Naagarahaavu and due to his waywardness, his relationship with his father Shankar is damaged to an extent where the father-son cannot stand each other. His father favours his elder son Hari, who is the ideal son, according to Shankar.

Ramachari hardly attends college and mostly hangs out with his friends Dattu and Chikkappa, thus being resented by Dattu's mother Sudha. At college, Ramachari encounters Divya, who is the new student in college, being ragged by seniors. However, Unknown to Ramachari, Divya is Dattu's sister. Ramachari instantly falls in love with her, who too reciprocates. He prefers calling her Margaret (based on actress Shubha's character in Naagarahaavu). The new-found love is sweet for Divya and Ramachari and they make a hot-headed decision to get married. But, they face problems with their relationship, which leads to a painful breakup.

Ramachari agrees to marry a girl Geetha of Shankar's choice to save his honor, and on hearing this, Divya attempts suicide. Later, Divya seemingly overcomes her hurt and agrees to marry Aakash, due of Sudha's choice. Both marriages are set on the same date and in the same town of Chitradurga. Both the weddings are managed by a wedding planner, Manche Gowda, who mixes up the photos of bride and groom, leading to confusing situations between either parties.

On the day of the wedding, Ramachari gets Geetha married to her boyfriend Farhan, by convincing Geetha's father Venkatesh with Shankar's help and performs a monologue by Vishnuvardhan's statue at Chitradurga fort. Divya learns of this and breaks her engagement with Aakash where she reunites with him.

Casting

It was revealed in September 2013, that the lead pair in the film would be Yash and Radhika Pandit. [5] The film was their third together, after Moggina Manasu (2008) and Drama (2012). Sameer Dattani, in August 2014, said that he would be making a cameo appearance in the film. [9]

Filming

The filming of Mr. and Mrs. Ramachari began in April 2014 in Bangalore. [10] However, another report said, the film was shot in Goa in its first schedule before filming in Bangalore and Mysore. [11] With the lead pair of Yash and Pandit playing the roles of college students in the film, the college scenes were filmed in Maharaja's College, Mysore. Team went on to shoot the climax portion in Chitradurga. [12] Filming of a song sequence was underway with an allocated budget of 75 lakh (US$94,000) in October 2014. Part of a five-day schedule, filming resumed in Nelamangala, Bangalore Rural district, after having completed the first part at Minerva Mills in Bangalore. This was when heavy rains destroyed the set put up over a period of 20 days, costing the producer a loss of 40 lakh (US$50,000). [13] [14] Another song sequence for the film was then shot in Switzerland. [15]

It was revealed that Ramachari, the character portrayed by Yash, in the film, is inspired by the character of the same name portrayed by Vishnuvardhan in his 1972 film Naagarahaavu . Yash, in the film, sports a tattoo of that character on his chest, played by Vishnuvardhan, and plays the role of a fan of the character. [16] Speaking on this, the film's director said, "Just like the character of Ramachari in Naagarahaavu, our hero is a rebel and he is short-tempered. Moreover, he is a great fan of the Ramachari character itself and is inspired in life by it. He tries to lead a life similar to the character." [16] Yash got the portrait of Ramachari tattooed on his chest on all days of filming, that took over an hour, done by Mayur, a Bangalore-based tattoo artist. [17]

Kumar of The Times of India reviewed the film gave the film a 3.5/5 rating and wrote that the film had a "neat plot, interspersed with lively sequences." Of the acting performances, he wrote, "Yash is brilliant, be it his expressions, dialogue delivery or style. Radhika Pandit delivers a winsome performance. Srinath, Achyuth Kumar, Malavika and Dhyan essay their roles with ease. Ashok Sharma shows promise of a good actor." He added crediting the film's music and cinematography. [27] Writing for Bangalore Mirror , Shyam Prasad S. called the film "a visually appealing mass entertainer". He wrote praising the film's screenplay and the performances of all the actors, and its cinematography. [28] A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express called the film "a family entertainer" and praised the film's screenplay, dialogues and the performances of Yash, Radhika Pandit, Achuyth Kumar, Malavika Avinash and Srinath. He concluded crediting the music, cinematography and editing in making the film "that works on many levels and is cheerful, romantic and emotional". [29] S. Viswanath of Deccan Herald gave the film a rating of three out of five, and said the film was "Preachy and predictable". He wrote, "If only subtlety and sanity scored over predictable commercial claptrap, this Ramachari could have also risen to cult status of S R Puttanna Kanagal’s Naagarhaavu’s own eponymous hero." and added that it "condescends to clichéd contrivances". [30]

Box office

The collections of the film took a hit following its release a week after the release of the then already successful Hindi film, PK . [31] However, it collected 3 crore (US$380,000) on the day of its release, 25 December.

[35] Following a good response domestically, the film was released in the United States, where it collected 8 lakh (US$10,000). [36] By the end of its 29-week run, the film completed 4,500 shows and by most reports, it earned a lifetime collection of around 50 crore (US$6.3 million).
