Both fall in love and seeks approval from their parents. Nandini's father is much against the alliance and disapproves of the relationship. The rest of the story deals with the methods adopted by Krishna to win over Nandini's family with the help of his friend SMS (Raghu), who has a solution for every issue that Krishna faces.

Critical response

Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 1 out of 5 stars and says "Music is by Chakri. Songs fail to make an impact and the lyrics don't help in the least. Most songs come with a heard-it-before feel too. What's more is that they add to the length of the film. Overdramatic dialogues and scenes like the one in which an immersed Ganesha idol helps the hero, who has been thrown into a river by goons, to recover, spoil things further. All in all, a confusing potboiler". A critic from Sify.com wrote "Chakri's music is a big let down. Mujeeb's photography is nothing spectacular though the fight sequences are well choreographed. 'Gandedhe' is a predictable fare with just some good fight scenes thrown in".
