Source-derived summary

Cast

Reception

A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "This flick is a big disappointment for Kashinath fans. Though the story-line is comical and sounds interesting, the film is drab with director Arjun completely losing his grip over the narration. Otherwise, Mava Mava Maduve Mado would have been another typical Kashinath movie with all the masala ingredients and a few doses of social messages".
