Manam Pola Mangalyam (transl. Marriage to a partner of your own choice) is a 1953 Indian Tamil language comedy film directed by P. Pullaiah. The film features Gemini Ganesan and Savithri in the lead roles.[2] No print of the film is known to survive, making it a lost film.[3]
A comedy of mistaken identity of two look-alikes, one of whom is an inmate of a lunatic asylum who escapes. By twist of fate, Gemini Ganesan and Savithri fell in love.
Besides the situation comedy that is full of twists and turns, Sarangapani, who played an elderly man wanting to marry the heroine, topping it creates some problem and prevents them from getting married.
Meanwhile the other Gemini Ganesan who is mistakenly locked in the asylum falls in love with the nurse played by Surabhi Balasaraswathi. After Sarangapani discovers him, he uses it to his advantage to fool Savitri into thinking that Gemini Ganesan is not loyal to her and us only after her for her money.
In the end, Gemini Ganesan foils Sarangapani's plans and the movie ends with the four if them getting married
