'Nongallabasu Thaballei Manam' (English: 'Lingering Fragrance') is a 2005 Manipuri film written and directed by Moirangthem Inao and produced by Monasi, under the banner of Tondon Films. It stars Nityaibi, Laimayum Gaitri, Thingom Pritam and Manda Leima in the lead roles. It is based on the famous radio play of the same title.

In the radio play, the roles of 'R.K. Manisana' and 'Phajabi' are played by the renowned actors Ningthoukhongjam Medhajeet and Thongam Thoithoi respectively. The dialogues from the play are still fondly remembered by the radio play lovers of Manipur. In the movie, Nityaibi's voice is dubbed by Ningthoukhongjam Medhajeet.

Synopsis



'Heinou' and 'Urirei' are lovebirds. They happen to elope one day. 'Manisana', Heinou's father, is apprehensive about the family's consent of 'Urirei' as his son is not qualified enough whereas 'Urirei' is a doctor. Apart from it, 'Manisana' has other reasons. When enquired by 'Surbala', his wife, he narrates his past life of a bachelor.

'Manisana' and 'Phajabi' (Urirei's mother) grew up in the same locality. 'Phajabi' loved 'Manisana', whom she lovingly addressed as 'Yambung'. She was caring, sweet and child-like. On the contrary, 'Manisana' loved 'Tamphasana', a lady from the neighbouring village. He always took Phajabi's love for granted and teased her all the time. As time passed by, Phajabi's hope to win Manisana's heart withered away. He went to Imphal for further studies and 'Phajabi' got engaged to a guy from Imphal.

Unlike 'Manisana' and 'Phajabi's' mismatch, 'Urirei' and 'Heinou' have a happy union.
