O Mallige is a 1997 Indian Kannada-language romance drama film directed by V. Manohar and written by K. Ananthu.

The film stars Ramesh Aravind, Charulatha, model-turned-actor Zulfi Syed and Chaitali (Bina Rajagopal).

A heart patient, Manohar has an ambitious wannabe model in his son Nacchi (Zulfi Syed) who is lost in the bliss of the big city.

Seizing the opportunity, the dying man manages to get the innocent village belle Mallige married to the city chap, Nacchi.

Nachi changing his name to Naresh Patel has shifted base to the city and is shown wooing the rich daughter (Chaitali) of a millionaire (Avinash) to fuel his aspirations of becoming a successful model.

Soon the young couple is shown exchanging sweet nothings in parks and restaurants while the pregnant girl is roaming the streets of the city looking for her ignorant husband.

For his convenience, to shoo off the prying landlords, Kitti brings Mallige to his house and christens her Lakshmi since she has no memory of her name.
