'Manase Mandiram' is a 1966 Indian Telugu-language romantic drama film, produced by Yarra Appa Rao and directed by C. V. Sridhar. It stars Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Savitri, with music composed by M. S. Viswanathan. The film was a remake of Sridhar's own Tamil film 'Nenjil Or Aalayam' (1962).
Plot
Dr. Raghu (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) dedicated his life to his medical profession and runs a cancer hospital. Once Seeta (Savitri) his ex-lover, who was forcibly married to a wise person Ramu (Jaggayya) arrives at his hospital and her husband is diagnosed with cancer and terminally ill. Raghu & Seeta are very much uncomfortable interacting in front of Ramu. Seeta suspects that Raghu will not be able to give proper treatment to Ramu because of his love interest in her. Now, Raghu ensures Radha that he will make Ramu recover. Parallelly, Ramu overhears the conversation, and later takes a promise from Seeta that she should marry Raghu after his death. Now Ramu is to undergo major surgery under Raghu which will decide his fate. Here Raghu is seized with a feeling that he can't afford to fail in the surgery as it might seem that he was biased due to Seeta. So, he toils a lot for the preparation without proper food & sleep. At last, the surgery successfully takes place but unfortunately, Raghu dies out of hypertension. Finally, the movie ends with Ramu & Seeta constructing a memorial hospital in the name of Raghu.
