Mr. and Mrs. Ramachari

Mr. and Mrs. Ramachari is a 2014 Indian Kannada romantic drama film written & directed by Santhosh Ananddram and produced by Jayanna-Bhogendra under Jayanna Combines.

It stars Yash and Radhika Pandit, alongside Srinath, Achyuth Kumar and Malavika Avinash.

[2] Mr. and Mrs. Ramachari was a commercial success, completing a 200-day theatrical run and emerged the highest grossing Kannada film of the year.

The Tamil remake rights of the film was bought by Escape Artists Motion Pictures in 2015.

[7][8] Ramachari is a short-tempered college-student, who is a die-hard fan of Vishnuvardhan from his childhood, often watching his films.

The new-found love is sweet for Divya and Ramachari and they make a hot-headed decision to get married.

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, who is Sudha's choice.

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$46,000).

[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.

To mark the occasion of late actor Vishnuvardhan's birth anniversary, the first teaser of the film was released on 17 September.

Of the acting performances, he wrote, "Yash is brilliant, be it his expressions, dialogue delivery or style.

[27] Writing for Bangalore Mirror, Shyam Prasad S. called the film "a visually appealing mass entertainer".

He concluded crediting the music, cinematography and editing in making the film "that works on many levels and is cheerful, romantic and emotional".

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."

[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$5.8 million).
