Pancharangi is a 2010 Indian Kannada language romantic comedy film with philosophical overtones directed and produced by Yogaraj Bhat[1] starring Diganth and Nidhi Subbaiah in the lead roles.
It is a story that unfolds in a span of two days and tackles issues like education, love, profession, marriage, family, life and relationships in a "fun and non-preachy way."
Bharath meets a tomboyish girl, Ambika (Nidhi Subbaiah), who is the house-owner's niece, and they begin to mingle well due to the nature of their personalities.
In addition to Diganth and Nidhi, the rest of the cast is the standard ensemble of Anant Nag, Padmaja Rao, Sudha Belavadi and Raju Talikote, accompanied by senior artists such as Nagendra Shah.
[6] Shruti Indira Lakshminarayan of Rediff.com scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Songs by Mano Murthy are situational and easy on the ears.
Pancharangi, with even Mano Murthy, who whipped up melodious magic in Mungaru Male faltering, is unbearable, minus vivacious Nidhi, the only saving grace in an otherwise obnoxious entertainer.
[8] A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars wrote "While Diganth is quite brilliant, Nidhi Subbaiah and Ramya Barna are superb.
[9] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Perhaps the director knew the drawback of relying heavily on dialogues so the characters speak three different dialects of Kannada.The songs are good.
