The film's story is about Murali, a struggling singer, who starts falling in love with Priya after talking with her over the telephone. While he finds various ways to meet her in real life, her marriage is fixed with another man. The film's title is inspired by a song of the same name from ''[[Yaare Neenu Cheluve]]'' (1998).<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
Murali is a college boy and an unemployed singer (with bundles of commitments as he belongs to the lower middle class), who enchants the rich college girl Priya with his musical skills through the telephone. Priya, the music buff who is in the habit of appreciating good singers over the phone, does it with Murali and also sends him greeting cards. The telephonic voice of Priya and her cards turn out to have a tremendous magical romantic effect on the hero (to the point of starvation), who besides falling in one-sided love with her, wants to see her in real life too. Unbeknownst to Murali, Priya is to marry a man named Darshan.<ref name="I"/><br />

== Reception ==<br />
A critic from ''[[Vijaya Karnataka]]'' wrote that "the foundation here is shaky. It is a superhuman idea for the hero to die without seeing the heroine even once" added that the film was saved by Ramesh's performance, the comedy by Sharan and Micheal Madhu and the song "Telephone Gelathi".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://kannada.filmibeat.com/reviews/050503kushalave.html|title=ಹೊಳೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಣಸೇ ಹಣ್ಣು ತೊಳೆದಂತಾಗಿರುವ ಎಸ್.ಮಹೇಂದರ್ ಶ್ರಮದ ಈ ಚಿತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ರಮೇಶ್ ತಮ್ಮ ಹಳೆಯ ಇಮೇಜನ್ನು ನೆನಪಿಸಿರುವುದು ಹೈಲೈಟು.|work=[[Vijaya Karnataka]]|via=[[Oneindia|Filmibeat]]|date=5 May 2003|language=kn|access-date=24 April 2024}}</ref> A critic from ''indiainfo.com'' wrote that "Its happy time for Ramesh. For sometime we had lost our Ramesh in the ''[[Kurigalu Saar Kurigalu (film series)|Kathe, Kothi, Kuri]]'' fiasco. But ''Kushalave Kshemave'' is something different. It reminds us a lot of our old Ramesh. The role of an innocent loverboy suits Ramesh very much".<ref name="I"/><br />
