Amruthadhare is a 2005 Indian Kannada-language romantic drama film directed and co-produced by Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar and written by actor Ramesh Aravind and Chandrashekhar. The film was released on 7 October 2005 starring Dhyan and Ramya in the lead roles. The music was composed by Mano Murthy. Amitabh Bachchan made a guest appearance as himself in the film.[1] The film ran for twenty-five weeks, thereby becoming a silver jubilee film.[2] [3]
Puru (Dhyan) and Amrutha (Ramya) are a married couple. However, they behave like lovers. Even though they like each other, they quarrel sometimes. Amrutha is a spendthrift and Puru is a miser. She wants a child to build a family, while he wants to build a house. The film follows their trials and tribulations as they navigate the difficult world of marriage in the modern age. The film also has a strong social message and speaks to the emptiness of a large home without a large family inside it.
Amitabh Bachchan was brought in for a six minute guest role with the help of Dhyan, who worked in Hindi cinema under the stage name of Sameer Dattani.[4]
The official soundtrack contains six songs. The music was composed by Mano Murthy and lyrics were by Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar. This became the 100th album to be released by Anand Audio.[5]

A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Outwardly, the language of Amrithdhare is regional. But it communicates ideas on love, loyalty, marriage and companionship with such passion".[7] A critic from Sify wrote that "On the whole, this neatly made family entertainer is good in parts and is a welcome change from action films".[8]
