Manasa Paris Mendhre Bari (1977)

Embedded with quirky comedy and soulful romance, this family-oriented drama delves into the trials and triumphs in the life of Hari, a sincere young man. He is a potter who makes beautiful statues. He also sings beautiful devotional songs.

Hari lives with his mother and is deeply in love with Sanguni, a beautiful young woman from an impoverished family. A greedy and lustful, but wealthy businessman gets attracted to Sanguni. Her mother, desperate to care for her other young children, decides to sacrifice Sanguni and accepts the wealthy man's proposal of marriage in exchange for money, despite Sanguni's cries for mercy.

When Hari hears of Sanguni's marriage, he is heartbroken. Sanguni is traumatised by her husband's behaviour but tries her best to stay loyal to him, even when he is hit by terrible misfortune. When he becomes critically ill and a large amount is urgently required for emergency surgery, Sanguni has no other option, but to seek help from Hari. Will Hari come to her rescue? Will they reach in time with the cash to save Sanguni's husband's life?
