Manaalane Mangaiyin Baakkiyam (transl. Husband is a woman's fortune) is a 1957 Indian Tamil-language fantasy film directed by Vedantam Raghavaiah, starring Anjali Devi and Gemini Ganesan.[1][2]
The film was made simultaneously in Telugu as Suvarna Sundari with A. Nageswara Rao replacing Ganesan and a slightly different supporting cast. The story is about a human from Earth and an angel from a celestial land falling in love and the many turns the tale takes. It was remade in Hindi as Suvarna Sundari with Anjali Devi reprising her role alongside Nageswara Rao.
Jayanthan, the prince of Kulothungan Chozlan takes leaves of his Guru, after completing his education. Peeved by his refusal to marry her, Guru's daughter Sarala falsely accuses him of breaching her chastity. The minister's son Vasanthan advises Jayanth to stay incognito for some time to escape punishment from the king. So, Jayanthan gets ousted from the kingdom. He stays in a cave where he meets celestial dancer Sundari, who comes to earth on every Karthika Pournami day. Their love story is laced with curses and boons. They love each other. Lord Indra comes to know about their love and curses Suvarna Sundari. As a result, Jayanth forgets her. She loses her child near the river. How the two protagonists reunite forms the story. Jayanthi played his female guise, due to a curse.

Ramaiah Dass.[citation needed] In an interview to The Indian Express in 1987, Adinarayana Rao said for a song in the Tamil version, he "adapted a rare composition of the famous Tanjore quartet" which prompted their sons to file a copyright violation, later Adinarayana Rao was bailed out by his friend.[4]
