Matthe Hadithu Kogile (Kannada: ಮತ್ತೆ ಹಾಡಿತು ಕೋಗಿಲೆ) is a 1990 Indian Kannada film, directed by H. R. Bhargava and produced by S. Shankar. The film stars Vishnuvardhan, Baby Shyamili, Anant Nag, Bhavya and Rupini. The film has musical score by Rajan–Nagendra. The film was a romantic drama. Vishnuvardhan and Anant Nag co-starred together for the first time. They would follow it up a few years later with Nishkarsha.
Director Bhargava revealed that he was so enchanted with Naa Ninna Mareyalare on which he worked as an associate that he requested Chi. Udayashankar for a similar themed story - a tragic love story between hero and heroine where the hero named Anand has a constant companion in the form of bike. Udayashankar worked on a story idea that Rajkumar had not accepted since he had done a similar role - a hero taking care of an abandoned child - in Devara Makkalu.
Plot
Anand (Vishnuvardhan) is a stage singer. He lives with his best friend Gopal (Ramesh Bhat). Sangeetha(Rupini) is the daughter of rich businessman Vishwaprasad (Ashok Rao). Kavitha (Bhavya) is a close friend of Anand and is secretly in love with him. Sangeetha and Anand fall in love but Sangeetha's father does not approve Anand. Vishwaprasad arranges Sangeetha's marriage with Prasanna (Anant Nag), the younger brother of his business partner. Vishwaprasad manages to engage Anand at a concert in Chennai when the marriage is to take place. On finding this out, Anand rushes to stop the marriage but is attacked by Vishwaprasad's goons. In a tough fight he gets hit on the head, loses consciousness and admitted to the hospital.
Sangeetha tries to commit suicide by taking poison on the first night. Prasanna admits her to the hospital. Anand visits Sangeetha and makes her promise not to try such foolish acts again, and advises her to accept Prasanna as her husband. After several months, Sangeetha dies while delivering a baby girl. Prasanna faces problems as a single parent. His brother suggests that he remarry. Prasanna decides to marry a girl from a poor family.
Savitha, Kavitha's younger sister, marries him for his wealth and status but expresses her dislike for the child. Prasanna considers giving away his child for adoption. Kavitha reveals the details of Sangeetha and Anand's friendship. Prasanna decides to give the child away to Anand. Anand names her Pallavi and raises her like his own daughter. Savitha has an abortion and loses her child-bearing potential.
3-4 years later Pallavi (Shamlee) and Anand are living as a happy family. Anand teaches her music and dance. Prasanna and Savitha attend Anand and Pallavi's concert. Savitha likes Pallavi and now wants Prasanna to bring her back. Anand gives Pallavi back to Prasanna with a heavy heart. Pallavi is sad and unable to accept them as her parents. One day when Prasanna holds a cocktail party for friends, Pallavi unknowingly drinks alcohol and becomes unconscious. Prasanna admits her to the hospital. Anand sings a sad song, "Matte Haditu Kole," to wake up the unconscious Pallavi. Pallavi recovers from the song and runs toward Anand. Finally, Prasanna realizes that only Anand can take care of Pallavi and decides not to interfere in Pallavi's life.
