Manu Needhi is a 2000 Indian Tamil-language drama film directed by Thambi Ramaiah.

The film stars Murali and Prathyusha, while Vadivelu, Napoleon and Nassar play other supporting roles.

Once, Vellaiyan asks Chinnakkanu to woo Poongodi, the only daughter of Muthuraja, a rich Zamindar from the nearby village.

A flashback is shown where Muthuraja is widely respected by everyone in his village for his involvement in freedom struggle against the British.

Knowing this, Chinnakkannu empathizes for Vellaiyan and decides to convince him and make him understand that using Poongodi to revenge Muthukannu is not the right way.

Finally, Chinnakkannu loses his patience and decides to leave Vellaiyan and join hands with Poongodi.
