### Story
The story revolves around two characters: a tearaway, hot-headed youngster, Ramachari, who is a diehard fan of the actor Vishnuvardhan, and his love interest, the sophisticated Divya.[1](https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Mr_and_Mrs_Ramachari?hl=en_US&id=5C27298CFB9E0F59MV) Ramachari, a rebel student of the last bench who values friendship above all, falls for Divya after saving her from bullies at college.[8](https://filmibeat.com/kannada/movies/mr-and-mrs-ramachari/story.html) • [9](https://www.sunnxt.com/kannada-movie-mr-and-mrs-ramachari-2014/detail/7892) His waywardness spoils his relationship with his father Shankar (Achyuth Kumar), who prefers the studious elder son Hari (Vishal Hegde).[10](https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/kannada/2014/Dec/27/a-complete-entertainment-package-698753.html)
The conflict turns on character rather than villainy. When Ramachari fails to greet her on her birthday, Divya grows upset; in the ensuing argument she questions his trust, love, and way of life, telling him there is a lack of planning and organization in it. They part on a sour note although they still love each other.[11](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/mr-and-mrs-ramachari/movie-review/45661701.cms) In the second half, Ramachari agrees to marry a girl his father chose to save his honor, while Divya agrees to marry Aakash, a man her mother selected; the two weddings are set for the same date in [Chitradurga](https://www.edgepedia.org/chitradurga), and both are handled by the same wedding planner, whose mixed-up photographs generate comedy-of-errors situations. On the wedding day, Ramachari gets his fiancée married to her boyfriend Farhan, and Divya, hearing of it, breaks off her own marriage; the two reunite.[12](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4306300/plotsummary/) Ramachari calls Divya "Margarette", the heroine's name in *Naagarahaavu*, and the climax includes a monologue before Vishnuvardhan's statue on Chitradurga fort.[12](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4306300/plotsummary/)
## Production
The film was announced in September 2013. Filming commenced in April 2014 and ended in September 2014, with principal shooting in [Bangalore](https://www.edgepedia.org/bangalore) and Mysore and significant portions filmed in Chitradurga, a town closely associated with the 1972 film the story honors.[1](https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Mr_and_Mrs_Ramachari?hl=en_US&id=5C27298CFB9E0F59MV) Vaidy S. handled cinematography and K. M. Prakash the editing; [V. Harikrishna](https://www.edgepedia.org/v-harikrishna) composed both the film score and the soundtrack.[1](https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Mr_and_Mrs_Ramachari?hl=en_US&id=5C27298CFB9E0F59MV) The soundtrack includes songs such as "Annthamma" (lyrics by Yogaraj Bhat, sung by Yash), "Kaarmoda" (Rajesh Krishnan), and "Mr & Mrs Ramachari" (Tippu), released on the D Beats label.[7](https://moviebuff.herokuapp.com/mr-and-mrs-ramachari)
## The Naagarahaavu connection
Yash's Ramachari is explicitly modeled on the character of the same name played by Vishnuvardhan in the 1972 Kannada film *Naagarahaavu*.[13](https://testing.moviebuff.com/mr-and-mrs-ramachari) The director described his hero in the same terms: "Just like the character of Ramachari in Naagarahaavu, our hero is a rebel and he is short-tempered".[13](https://testing.moviebuff.com/mr-and-mrs-ramachari) The tribute extends to specific devices: a popular *Naagarahaavu* background score on the mouth organ, and a tattoo of Vishnu's Ramachari on the hero's chest.[10](https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/kannada/2014/Dec/27/a-complete-entertainment-package-698753.html) • [12](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4306300/plotsummary/) The *New Indian Express* review observed that the debutant director used this borrowed template while treading a fresh path focused on family values, keeping older audiences engaged alongside the young.[10](https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/kannada/2014/Dec/27/a-complete-entertainment-package-698753.html)
