'''''Rosappu Ravikkaikari''''' ({{translation|The girl with the [[Rose (color)|rose]]-coloured blouse}}) is a 1979 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[historical romance]] film directed by [[Devaraj–Mohan]]. A remake of the 1978 [[Kannada]] film ''[[Parasangada Gendethimma]]'', itself based on [[Srikrishna Alanahalli]]'s [[novella]] of the same name, the film stars [[Sivakumar]], [[Unni Mary|Deepa]] and [[Sivachandran]], with [[Vinu Chakravarthy]] and [[R. Nagarathnamma]] in supporting roles. Set in [[British Raj|British-ruled India]], it revolves around a modern woman who cannot tolerate her rustic husband and her mother-in-law and engages in an [[extramarital affair]].

''Rosappu Ravikkaikari'' was produced by Thirupur Mani of [[Vivekananda Pictures]], and is the 100th film of Sivakumar as an actor. It is the debut of screenwriter [[Vijay Krishnaraj]] (credited as Krishna), and Chakravarthy as an actor in Tamil cinema. Filming took place between February and March 1979, in places including [[Yercaud]]. The music was composed by [[Ilaiyaraaja]], editing was handled by T. P. Sekar and cinematography by [[R. N. K. Prasad]].

''Rosappu Ravikkaikari'' was released on 18 May 1979. The film became a critical and commercial success, running for over 100 days in theatres. For his performance, Sivakumar won the [[Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Tamil]].

== Plot ==
In [[British Raj|British-ruled India]], Sembattayan, a naïve and illiterate villager, is the sole breadwinner of his family in Vandicholai village, in the hills on outskirts of [[Salem, Tamil Nadu|Salem]]. He makes a living by selling betel leaves, covering vast distances by foot. His mother gets him married to Nandhini, an educated and modern woman from a neighbouring village. The villagers are surprised that Sembattayan has such a wife and start suspecting her character for stooping down to the level of marrying Sembattayan, who is a complete mismatch for her. Nandhini finds it difficult to live in their home which lacks all the facilities she is accustomed to.

Sembattayan's mother harasses Nandhini and abuses her for her lifestyle and neglecting domestic duties. Unable to tolerate it after her mother brandishes Nandini, Sembattayan establishes a separate home with Nandhini and she is pleased. She concentrates more on grooming herself and her demands keep rising. Sembattayan futilely tries to make her realise that inner beauty is more important than outer beauty which is just skin deep. Manickam, an agent of the British, comes to Vandicholai for recruiting workers and seeks Sembattayan's help for the same. Sembattayan obliges him, Manickam keeps visiting the village on this work and also learns about Nandhini's longings.

When Nandhini's father invites Sembattayan and Nandhini for a village festival, Sembattayan innocently sends Nandhini on Manickam's motorcycle. Nandhini and Manickam, smitten by each other, get into a physical relationship on the way. Manickam keeps visiting Nandhini regularly without Sembattayan's knowledge. When villagers start to gossip about this [[extramarital affair]], Sembattayan is saddened, but he still trusts Nandhini. He soon learns about Nandhini's pregnancy and is overjoyed, unaware that he is not the father of her child.

The villagers accuse Sembattayan of spoiling the women of Vandicholai by selling fancy items to please his wife and thus imposing city culture on them. One day, he reaches his home before his usual time and hears a man's voice. Through the window, he sees Nandhini and Manickam in a compromising position. Devastated, he remembers his mother's warning that if Nandhini is not controlled, she would be responsible for his destruction, and leaves to drown himself in a pond, while Nandhini contemplates suicide out of guilt. When Sembattayan's corpse is retrieved from the pond, the villagers speculate about the reason for his death differently.
