Manasa Sarovara (Template:ErrorTemplate:Category handler) is a 1982 Indian Kannada-language film directed by Puttanna Kanagal and starring Srinath, Padma Vasanthi and Ramakrishna. Padma Vasanthi won the Karnataka State Film Award for Best Actress for her performance. The plot was reported to be influenced by George Bernard Shaw's 1913 play Pygmalion.[1] The film was remade in Telugu as Amayaka Chakravarthy.[2]

Plot

Dr. Anand is a middle-aged psychiatrist who realizes that his married life has no happiness or peace. Soon his wife leaves him. He returns to his village in an attempt to find peace, and manage his estate. Anand meets Vasanthi on a road, stoning passersby. Seeking to understand her behavior, he meets her brother and finds out that Vasanthi has developed a deep hatred for men after their sister committed suicide, after being dumped by her boyfriend.

The family agrees to Anand's request to take Vasanthi away and cure her. The change in environment and loving care allow Vasanthi to gradually recover from her trauma. During the course of treatment, Dr. Anand ends up falling in love with her. When he is away to attend a seminar, his nephew arrives and Vasanthi falls in love with the nephew. Upon his return, when he finds this out, Dr. Anand is heartbroken. He eventually loses his own sanity, and is left in a state akin to that of Vasanthi when he first met her.[3]
