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]

Neer Dose was released on September 2, 2016 in 120 theatres, coinciding with Ganesh Chaturdashi. The trailer and music received over 1,900,000 views on social media.

Reception

Critical response

Neer Dose received mixed reviews from critics.

Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "This film is meant for those who like their conversations with a fair share of innuendo and the typical regressive fare when it comes to portraying women. The film has many food references, starting from the title itself, but be warned that these are masked with many sexual references, so you need a stomach that's strong enough to digest those."[15]

Shashiprasad SM of Deccan Chronicle gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "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."[16]
