			==Plot==
			The film is about Rajani ([[Upendra (actor)\|Upendra]]), who was once a software engineer but quits his job to give it to his friend and now is unemployed in Mysore. Sandhya ([[Aarti Chabria]]) is a girl from Bangalore who studies in college and comes to Mysore for her vacation to stay with her elder brother Bobby ([[Rangayana Raghu]]) and his wife ([[Chitra Shenoy]]). Rajani falls in love with Sandhya at first sight and starts chasing her to win her heart and enters the upper portion of their house as tenants with his brother Chandrashekar ([[Ramesh Bhat]]) and sister-in-law ([[Thulasi Shivamani]]). In the process, Rajani has a clash with local rowdy Lanka Raju ([[Kadhal Dhandapani]]). Mistaking him to be one Tapori, Sandhya hates him first but later realizes his true nature. She returns to Bangalore and lives with her older brother Sharath ([[Sharath Lohitashwa]]), a former builder and now a very powerful rowdy who is very possessive and protective about his sister. Rajani follows Sandhya to Bangalore and works his way into her house with Bobby's help, and finally, both of them confess their love. There, Rajani knows Sandhya's flashback and how she is being chased by the notorious and cruel Jakka ([[Mukul Dev]]), assisted by his uncle ([[Doddanna]]) for marriage. In the end, Sharath kills Jakka, and Rajani marries Sandhya.

			== Reception ==
			=== Critical response ===

			A critic from [[The New Indian Express]] wrote "The film is technically superior with good fights and song sequences. "Rajini" is a huge entertainer for Upendra fans. 'Rajini' a must-watch for Upendra fans".<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2009/Sep/19/rajini-87719.html\|title=Rajini\|work=[[The New Indian Express]]\|date=19 September 2009}}</ref> BS Srivani from [[Deccan Herald]] wrote "Coming to music, it is refreshing to see that Hamsalekha has loosened up a bit. He blasts some ‘jhakaas’ music for the front-benchers while some sensitive listeners are bound to be amazed at the cheek of the lyrics in two songs (Thriller Manju aims to thrill, after all). This Rajani is one ‘fultoo’ entertainer".<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/amp/content/26065/rajani.html\|title=Rajani\|work=[[Deccan Herald]]\|date=18 September 2009}}</ref> A critic from [[Bangalore Mirror]] wrote "Stunt master turned director Thriller Manju finally manages to direct a film worth watching. After two dozen original films and a copied logo for his production house, Ramu reverses the trend here. He gets an original logo done and remakes the Telugu film Krishna. And for all those producers calling for austerity measures, this film has an answer. There is a song in which Upendra goes after Aarati asking her to follow him to Nandi Hills and Basavanagudi. The song has been shot abroad".<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/rajini-well-cooked/articleshow/22042615.cms\|title=Rajini: Well cooked\|work=[[Bangalore Mirror]]\|date=17 September 2009}}</ref>
