Mussanjeya Gelathi (kn|ಮುಸ್ಸಂಜೆಯ ಗೆಳತಿ) is a 2009 Indian Kannada-language film directed and produced by B P Srinivas starring himself and his daughter, Shalini Srinivas, in the lead roles.[1] [2]
BP Srinivas wanted to cast Anant Nag for the lead role but instead played the role himself. He had previously acted in a negative role in Varasdara (2008). His daughter, Shalini, a PU II student of Kripanidhi College, Koramangala acted as his love interest. This is reportedly the first time that a real life father and daughter acted as a romantic pair in a film.[4]

R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "For one, Srinivas has taken on too many responsibilities. While he shines as a director, as an actor he's not that good. Another drawback of the film is his daughter Shalini, who doesn't suit the role of a student. Mussanjeya Gelathi has a bold story which could have been executed in a better fashion".[5] BS Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Mussanje Gelathi is bereft of direction though the producer takes credit for the same. He seems to have had a great picnic, at the expense of the viewers. This Mussanje Gelathi will neither dispel darkness nor fear".[6] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Sadly, Srinivas is the biggest drawback of the film. He makes a decent effort in directing the film, but fails as an actor. With a seasoned actor in his place, the film might have gone places. Aided by some sedate scenes, Mussanje Gelati ends up with only two stars".[7] Manju Shettar from Mid-Day wrote "Gaurav and Shalini's acting is good. Music is catchy and camera work is beautiful. Srinivas's acting does not impress the audience and dialogues are stale. Verdict: Watch it if you want to face a lot of confusion!".[8]
