Ijjodu (English: The Incompatible) is a 2010 Indian Kannada drama film written and directed by M. S. Sathyu, and stars Meera Jasmine and Anirudh in the lead roles.

The film is a story of a young photo journalist's brief encounter with a girl who was made a ‘Basavi’ at the altar of the village deity, to save people who were hit by a devastating epidemic.

At present the ‘Devdasies’ have become regular sex workers because of the social stigma and more so for making a living.

[2] It was released theatrically on 30 April 2010, following which it was screened at the Minsk International Film Festival in Belarus, in November.

[3] The movie is based on story "Nanu Konda Hudugi" ("The Girl I Killed") by famous Kannada writer Ajjampur Sitaram ('Ananda').

The story starts with Ananda, the protagonist specializes in photographing ancient monuments and writing about various rituals and customs that have gone unquestioned.

He is warned by a mad soldier, a victim of the most unpredictable happenings during a war not to have anything to do with this unfortunate girl and not to stay in that cursed house.

But after many months on an obscure day the soldier returns to find his wife pregnant and married to another man.

The entire village community looks at Ananda as the guilty one, forgetting their own guilt of keeping Chenni an out cast.

A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Manikanth Kadri scores well in the background music department.

[4] A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "It is a brilliant piece of work by Anirudh.

[5] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "While Anirudh delivers a brilliant performance, Meera Jasmine lacks homework in donning the role of a devadasi.

[6] Sugata Srinivasaraju from Outlook wrote "Running parallel to this is the story of another woman, Kempi, who, when war-widowed, takes a bold decision to remarry a person younger to her.

While Chenni leads a choiceless life, Kempi exercising her choice is a ready contrast".
