Manasu Mallige (transl. The heart is a jasmine flower) is an Indian Kannada-language romantic drama film directed by S. Narayan and produced by Rockline Venkatesh and Akash Chawla.[2] The film, a remake of Nagraj Manjule's Marathi film Sairat (2016), features Rinku Rajguru, reprising her role from the original, and Nishanth (Nataraj).[3] The original soundtrack by Ajay–Atul has been re-used with Kannada lyrics, and the cinematography is by Manohar Joshi.[4]
Overview[edit]
The film depicts a love story between a girl of an upper caste and a boy from a lower caste; thus it comments on the caste system in India. This commentary culminates into honour killing; honour killing is prevalent in few parts of rural India as well as urban India. The music of Manasu Mallige was released on 14 February 2017. It was written by Ajay–Atul, who kept the original score and just added Kannada lyrics in place of the original Marathi ones. All songs have been sung by the same singers who rendered the original songs, except an additional song which has been rendered by Sonu Nigam.
