Olave Mandara is a 2011 Indian Kannada road movie written and directed by Jayatheertha, and starring debutantes Srikanth and Aakanksha Mansukhani in the lead roles. The supporting cast features Rangayana Raghu, Veena Sundar, Nassar and Sadhu Kokila.

The sub-plot of the film featuring Rangayana Raghu and Veena Sundar is inspired by real-life events of Dashrath Manjhi, who cut a rocky hill for 22 years to build a road in memory of his wife.

Srikant was adjudged as the 'Promising Newcomer (Male)' for his performance in the film, based on an online poll conducted by The Times of India.

Srikanth (Srikanth), a son of a rich industrialist (Nassar), meets Preeti (Aakanksha Mansukhani), an Assamese girl, in a dance competition in Coimbatore, and falls in love with her. His initial intentions were to only steal a few kisses from her. Bound by guilt, he sets off on foot to Assam to meet her as promised. On his journey, he faces the realities of life as he meets various characters and witnessing incidents such as a farmer couple sharing their lunch with a 'kind' thief (Sadhu Kokila), and a cobbler (Rangayana Raghu), taking his disabled wife (Veena Sundar) on a pilgrimage to Kashi on a bullock-cart. Srikanth is moved on witnessing these.

As he reaches Ranigaon, Preeti's residing village in Assam, he finds her married to another man.

Deva scored the film's background music and composed for its soundtrack, with its lyrics written by Kaviraj, K. Kalyan, K. V. Raju, Hamsalekha and Jayatheertha. The lyrics of the track "Onde Kerili" was taken from a poem of G. P. Rajarathnam. The soundtrack album consists of nine tracks. It was released in December 2010.
