Except for the title everything is fine in this film. Title is of the olden days but not the film. The audiences today are very sharp and intelligent. From the title they decide whether to buy a ticket or not. This type of title 'Naanu Neenu Jodi' explains everything for them. They do not have any guessing point from the title. What is interesting is that director N.R.Nanjunde Gowda keeps the audience glued to their seats till the protagonist comes with Jasmine flowers to the heroine in the last scene of the film. He has the stuff but not the right title. The home work of giving something different in the love format film has come out well.
The redeeming features of this film are the good screenplay, acting by Vijaya Raghavendra, Madhumitha, lovely music by Hamsalekha and pleasant photography.
Arjun (Vijaya Raghavendra) and Gowri (Madhumitha) well educated run away from their marriage hall. Arjun wants to study the girl he marries and then marry but his parents have not given him a chance to do so. On the other hand Gowri is on the look of her boy friend (?) Karthik. The run away unmarried duo Arjun and Gowri are forced to stay together. Arjun decides to give space for Gowri in his Bangalore flat. The understanding of others is that these two are married. But Arjun explains the whole scene to his friend Linga (Chidanand) cum attendant in the office. As the days pass Arjun knows the brilliance of Gowri. She helps Arjun in preparing a project of his company product. At this time Gowri a double graduate decides to work. Arjun thinks that Gowri is his right choice for him his ideas boomerangs. Gowri explains once again that she is looking for her boy friend Karthik. Accidentally Arjun finds Karthik in one of his business meetings. He tries not to disclose this to Gowri but destiny does not allow this secret to keep long. Karthik finds Gowri in a temple and Arjun finds all is over. Both Karthik and Gowri decide to marry in a simple style in the sub registrar office. It is at this place Arjun handing over Jasmine flower to Gowri breaks down. The tight suspense Gowri maintained so far reveal and it is revelation time for Arjun.
Vijayaragavendra handling the comedy and serious role in one film is brilliant. His dance and action are already familiar. Madhumitha has understood this role very well and she is the right choice. She looks like Dolly Minhas in some angles and in the glamour department she is impressive. Karthik has to shape him up very well.
Hamsalekha has once again given melodious tunes. "Navule Navule.." and "Kagadadha Dhoni idhu Samsara." have rich meaning, music and singing is good. A.C.Mahender gives a pleasant treat to the eyes from his cinematography.
Worth watching once!
