Plot

Puru (Dhyan) and Amrutha (Ramya) are a married couple. However, they behave like lovers. Even though they like each other, they quarrel sometimes. Amrutha is a spendthrift and Puru is a miser. She wants a child to build a family, while he wants to build a house. The film follows their trials and tribulations as they navigate the difficult world of marriage in the modern age. The film also has a strong social message and speaks to the emptiness of a large home without a large family inside it.

Music

The official soundtrack contains six songs. The music was composed by Mano Murthy and lyrics were by Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar.

Reception

A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Outwardly, the language of Amrithdhare is regional. But it communicates ideas on love, loyalty, marriage and companionship with such passion".[4] A critic from Sify wrote that "On the whole, this neatly made family entertainer is good in parts and is a welcome change from action films".[5]
