Olu Saar Bari Olu is a 2002 Indian Kannada-language comedy film directed by Nagendra Magudi. A remake of the Marathi film Ashi Hi Banwa Banwi (1988),[1] the film stars Jayanthi, Ramesh Aravind, Anu Prabhakar, Mohan, Balaraj and Pramod Chakravarthi. The original story itself is based on Sailesh Dey's Bengali play Joymakali Boarding.
Raghupati, a makeup artist for Roja, stays in his homeowner's house with his brother Pammi in Bangalore. His friends Sadanand and Balu want to stay in the house but the homeowner doesn't let them. They come across Jayanthi Deshpande's house, who only lends her house to couples. Raghupati comes up with a plan and Sadanand and Balu come to the house dressed as Pammi's and Ragupati's wife, respectively. How they hide their identities and how they console their girlfriends form the rest of the story.
The film was reported to be similar to Samayakkondu Sullu (1996) and was made with the intention to make the audience laugh for two-and-a-half hours.[2] [3]
The soundtrack was composed by Rajdev.[4]
A critic from Viggy praised the performances of the cast and the film's sense of comedy while criticizing the music.[5]
The film was a box office success.[6]
