Kannadathi is an Indian television drama in the Kannada language that premiered on Colors Kannada from 27 January 2020.[1] It stars Kiran Raj, Ranjani Raghavan, Sara Annaiah and Chitkala Biradar.[2][3][4]

Summary[edit | edit source]

Bhuvaneshwari (also known as Bhuvi or Sowparnika) (Ranjani Raghavan), a girl from a small village, Hasirupete, goes to Bengaluru to work as a temporary lecturer to pay off her family's debts, and expects her friend Varudhini (also called Varu) (Sara Annaiah) to help. Varu runs a company that performs wedding ceremonies, and meets Harsha (Kiran Raj), CEO of Mala Cafe, at his cousin Aadi's (Rakshith) wedding immediately falling in love. Sania's (Aadi's fiancé) (Arohi Naina) parents ask Rathnamala (Harsha's mother) (Chitkala Biradar) who is the owner and founder of Mala School and Mala Cafe, a huge share in their property, to which she reluctantly agrees. After the wedding, Rathnamala leaves for Sigandhoor Devi Darshan on a bus that travels through her home village Hasirupete. Bhuvi, who returned to Hasirupete after she helped at Aadi's wedding, finds Rathnamala injured by a snake bite. Bhuvi takes Rathnamala to her home, who is impressed by Bhuvi's hospitality and kindness, and the two become close.

Rathnamala returns to Bengaluru and offers a Kannada lecturer post to Bhuvi without the latter's knowledge. She also helps Bhuvi find a house to rent. Bhuvi and Harsha encounter each other many times; Bhuvi looks after Harsha at her home when he is sick for a few days. Rathnamala's doctor tells her that she does not have long to live. Rathnamala wants Harsha to marry Bhuvi; the two share a mutual attraction, but Harsha has doubts about her idealism in his practical world while Bhuvi hides her feelings by claiming they are just friends. Varudhini's desire for Harsha starts increasing gradually. Later, on Varu's birthday, Varu expresses that her inspiration is Harsha and hugs him; Bhuvi notices and cries. After a few days and constant meetings, Harsha realises his love for Bhuvi but decides not to confess.One night, Bhuvi has a dream in which her father is bitten by a snake. So she decides to return to Hasirupete to visit her father; Harsha and Bindu (Mohira Acharya), Bhuvi's sister accompany her. Bhuvi's father had died by the time she arrived, and she is compelled to perform the last rites of her father; she is taunted by her step-grandmother Mangallamma (R. T. Rama). After a few days Bhuvi, Harsha and Bindu return to Bengaluru after Bhuvi rejects a local man's marriage proposal given by Mangallamma. Bhuvi and Harsha release Varu from jail which the latter ended in to prevent Harsha from going to jail due to Sanya's evil plan. Varu's proxmity to Harsha makes Bhuvi sad as she thinks both of them love each other. Many instances come where Harsha and Bhuvi get close to each other, spend time and protect each other, but never confess their love.A few days later, Sanya taunts Harsha about his love and Varu. Harsha is shocked to know that Varu likes him, and the next day with Bhuvi's help, he tells her that he does not like her and that he treats her just as a friend. After a few days, Harsha celebrates Bhuvi's birthday in a grand way and confesses his love. Bhuvi in a shock stays silent thinking of Varu. After a few days, Harsha and Bhuvi go for a trip where Harsha is kidnapped. In fear of losing him, Bhuvi also confesses her love to him.

Mangalamma falls sick and Bhuvi goes to Hasirupete to take care of the former. In course of time, Harsha and Rathnamala visit Hasirupete. They ask Mangalamma Bhuvi's hand in marriage. After some debate about her granddaughters' (Bindu and Preeti) future, Mangalamma accepts the proposal. Harsha buys the house which Bhuvi had intended to earlier and registers it in her name. The engagement takes place in Hasirupete in a village style. Sanya hires a supari killer and plans to kill Bhuvi. Bhuvi becomes a victim to this but survives with injuries when Varudhini helps her in time. Although Varu does not want to let go of her "hero", requests Bhuvi to let her be the wedding planner to which Bhuvi agrees. While planning for the wedding and its theme, Bhuvi comes up with an idea of marrying in a "Kannada style " where all the ceremonies are explained in detail and the rituals are performed by knowing its importance. The wedding rituals commences. Varudhuni still hopes to marry Harsha.
