==Plot==
The movie begins with Shankar ([[Sudeep]]), who runs an advertising agency, boarding a train to visit his native village to invite all of his friends to his wedding. The journey to his childhood days begins there. The happenings in the school, his tussle with his friends, and his first love with his classmate Kamala ([[Deepa Bhaskar|Deepu]]) are all pictured realistically. Shankar reaches the village and invites all including Kamala, who promises to come to the wedding, with her husband and three children.

Then, he goes to Kerala where he had his college education. His major crush at that time was Lathika ([[Sridevika]]), a Malayali girl with whom he falls in love, but the affair proves to be short-lived as her parents marry her off to her cousin Madhavan. On reaching Kerala to invite her, Shankar is shattered to see his lover as a widow.

Meanwhile, he is dejected at the failure of his love affair, and he comes across a trusted friend, Divya ([[Meena (actress)|Meena]]), who instills confidence, unearths his hidden talents, and teaches him the lesson that one has to go ahead in life without looking back. However, she does not reveal the tragedy that occurred in her past. As time passes by, she reveals that her mother is a paralytic patient and that she now has to work for her survival. While she and Shankar travel on a bus, she reveals that she was in love with someone and believed that he was a good man but got cheated. A poetic narration on the need for a good friend has been stressed upon.

Towards the end, Shankar marries a girl of his parents' choice, Rashmi (Rashmi Kulkarni). All three girls who had played a part in his life and many college friends attend the wedding. Shankar sets a very nice ending to the main story.

==Reception==
A critic from ''[[Sify]]'' said that "Sudeep besides direction has acted very well. His ability from the beginning of career to emote in touching sequences has given him confidence to accept this film that is close to his heart".<ref name="s">{{Cite web|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/my-autograph-review-kannada-pclvQ5ehjdijh.html|date=22 February 2006|archive-date=4 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220504075220/https://www.sify.com/movies/my-autograph-review-kannada-pclvQ5ehjdijh.html|title=My Autograph|work=[[Sify]]}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Rediff.com]]'' wrote that "My Autograph is a pleasant film a rarity after the mediocre fare released recently".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://in.rediff.com/movies/2006/feb/17auto.htm|title=My Autograph: Sudeep manages to score|first=R.

[..] Good camerawork and dialogues are other plus points apart from the performances of Sudeep, Srinivasamurthy and Meena. The only flaw, perhaps, is the lengthy narration. But somewhere Sudeep, like Cheran in his Autograph, is able to convince you that he is not alone and many among those who see the movie would have undergone similar experiences".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/feb192006/movies1625302006218.asp|title=My Autograph|website=Deccan Herald|access-date=8 April 2025|first=S.
