Gauri Ganesha
open-in-new
<h2 id="plot">Plot</h2> <p>Lambodhara is a petty trickster who cheats and lies to make a false living. One day, he admits himself into a hospital, faking an abdominal issue, solely to get free lodging and food, and also the care of his love interest Saraswathi or Sarasu (<a href="/facts/Vinaya_Prasad/z96WDB2m">Vinaya Prasad</a>). At the hospital Lambodhara comes across a recent patient named Gauri who has died of heart failure. Lambodhara gets a sudden idea and he decides to take her belongings and make some money off them, but instead he finds her diary. He realizes that Gauri has come across 3 men who had significant influence in her life. The first man was her former boss who had proposed indecently to sleep with her. The second man wanted her to pretend that they are married to fool his parents in return for money for her heart treatment. The last man is a friend of the 2nd man, and thought that he had slept with her in a drunken state. The truth is that none of the men had any physical contact with her. Lambodhar devises a plan to extract money from these men and their families. He writes letters to them stating that Gauri has given birth to their son and named him Ganesh. After a series of funny events, (such as the three men booking almost neighbouring rooms on the same floor of the same hotel) all three come to meet Lambodhar on the same day, and the film ends when Lambodhar blackmails them into submission. </p> <h2 id="cast">Cast</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Anant_Nag/hnT2trW1">Anant Nag</a> as Lambodhara</li> <li><a href="/facts/Vinaya_Prasad/z96WDB2m">Vinaya Prasad</a> as Nurse Saraswathi, wife of Lambodhara</li> <li><a href="/facts/Shruti_(actress)/7pWCA9z5">Shruti</a> as Gauri</li> <li><a href="/facts/Mukhyamantri_Chandru/saSGKVuu">Mukhyamantri Chandru</a> as Poornananda Rao, father of Chandramouli</li> <li><a href="/facts/Ramesh_Bhat/Hw1Fwbqf">Ramesh Bhat</a> as Madhusudan alias Madhu, Friend of Chandramouli</li> <li>Umesh Navale as Chandramouli, son of Poornananda Rao and Vishalakshi</li> <li><a href="/facts/Sihi_Kahi_Chandru/31NIV1fE">Sihi Kahi Chandru</a> as Anand Rao, employer of Gowri</li> <li><a href="/facts/Vaishali_Kasaravalli/BVTPbRp9">Vaishali Kasaravalli</a> as Vishalakshi, Wife of Poornananda Rao, Mother of Chandramouli</li> <li><a href="/facts/Master_Anand/mK3RFzKw">Master Anand</a> as Ganesha<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a>/A.
