Plot[12]

The viewer is invited to follow the life of four characters — Jaggesh Kumar (Jaggesh), a crematorium van driver, Dattatreya (H.G.Dattatreya), a retired man, Kumudha (Haripriya), a sex worker and Sharada Mani (Suman Ranganathan), a milk stall owner. When the film opens, all four characters have already met. So the film’s agenda is to tell how they met, what their individual back stories are like and what role neer dosa has played in their life.

The first half is more about how the three meet each other for an unusual friendship. Their background saga continues as they are on road trip to Surathkal near Mangaluru.

Controversies

From the start movie has faced many interruptions and issues. A recent one being the non-availability of actress Ramya for the shooting. This development was after which she won by-elections and was elected as Member of Parliament from Mandya.[13]

A meeting was called by Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce - KFCC on 6 November 2013, but was later postponed to 25 November citing actress Ramya's busy political schedule.[16]

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."
