This movie has it all: A complex and unpredictable plot, enormous emotional appeal, beautiful scenery (and photography, especially for the time), and songs that will go down in history as some of the finest to ever grace the Kannada language. The title song in particular is unbeatable.
But the most impressive thing about this movie isn't any of its individual points. It's the fact that, taken as a whole, it is deeply philosophical and captures many of the fundamental characteristics of the human condition. It really makes you think about the material in a way that few works do - a testament to impressive directing and flawless acting.
Manasa Sarovara is a must-watch for all Kannada speakers. Its message is universal, and continues to be both relevant and poignant half a century later.
