Production

Backed by the technical team of Vijaya Prasad's Sidlingu, the film began production in October 2012.[6] Production was delayed by the unavailability of actress Ramya following her election as a Member of Parliament from Mandya.[7] One of the film's producers, Ashu, approached Jaggesh to sort out the issue and complete the movie. In response, Jaggesh composed a series of tweets directed at Ramya in which he criticized her lack of availability for filming.[8][9] Production resumed in June 2015 after Ramya arrived[10][11][12] and other production issues were resolved.[13][14]

Release and critical reception

Neer Dose was released on September 2, 2016, and entered theatres around the time of the 2016 Ganesha Festival. The trailer and music received over 1,900,000 views on social media. The film opened in 120 theatres.

Neer Dose received an A certification from the Central Board of Film Certification, citing its many double entendre one-liners. The movie generated mixed reactions from critics. Overall the movie was praised for the screenplay, the cinematography, and the performances of the lead actors.

One review said: "In a different perspective, Vijaya Prasad has his own profound way of talking about life while staying away from preachy and philosophical touch."

Another one quoted: "Jaggesh and Dattanna, the two fine actors are yet again at their best performances and a treat while they make it look very natural. Hariprriya as Kumuda is the real change over for the actress, who has pulled it with ace marks. Irrespective of how 'Neer Dose' turns out to be at the end of the day before the box office, Hariprriya's effortless acting will be an everlasting remark in her career. No wonder, even if she manages to win an award or two for this daring one."

gollark: The first one wouldn't work very well anyway.
gollark: I mean, there is a way, I suppose... two actually... but that's not the point.
gollark: Nope.
