==Plot==
A family goes to a village near [[Mangalore]] to finalize a bride for the elder son, Lucky (Pavan Kumar). Lucky is a US-based software professional, and is a teetotaler, always abiding by the pressure and demands of his parents, so much to the fact that he does not have the courage to speak out that he already has a girlfriend. Bharath Kumar (Diganth), the youngest son, is a carefree individual with weird ideas on life. Bharath meets a tomboyish girl, Ambika (Nidhi Subbaiah), who is the house-owner's niece, and they begin to mingle well due to the nature of their personalities.

However, following a few unusual twists and turns, the alliance is called off and the groom's family members walk out due to embarrassment. Ambika, who has now developed a strong feeling of love towards Bharath, goes ahead and confronts him. And finally, Bharath too says yes.

==Critical reception==
Although the film was mentioned in the circles as a typical Yogaraj Bhat film, it went on to become a box-office success garnering significant returns in its first week itself. The "Lifeuu Ishtene" song from the film describing the stark realities of middle-class urban life was the highlight of the movie, and has already spawned several mock versions in Kannada. The success of the movie has bolstered the career opportunities of Diganth and Nidhi and it completed 50 days.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101019021519/http://www.desitara.com/blogs/2010/09/03/pancharangi-movie-review/ Pancharangi Movie Review]</ref> [[Rediff]] review summed it up calling it a good family entertainer.<ref>[http://movies.rediff.com/review/2010/sep/03/south-tamil-review-pancharangi.htm Pancharangi is a good family entertainer]</ref>

Financial losses for the film have been attributed to high quality bootlegged DVDs with English subtitles available within 50 days of the film's release.<ref>[http://www.mixbacardi.com/news_inside.php?news_id=7670 Pirated DVDs dampen Pancharangi success] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120326000501/http://www.mixbacardi.com/news_inside.php?news_id=7670 |date=26 March 2012 }}</ref>
