==Plot==
'Devathaiyai Kanden' is a Psychological thriller story that revolves around two protagonists - Vasudevan ([[Shreekumar]]/Ishwar) and Lakshmi (Shyamili Nayar/Krithika Laddu) with completely different mindset. Vasudevan is bought up by his grandfather who is a retired military major and is bound to follow very strict rules and regulations put forward by his grandfather ([[G. M. Kumar]]) due to various reasons. Lakshmi on the other hand is an independent lady who marries Vasudevan and wishes that her husband should love her the most than anyone else in this world. Knowing her wish Vasudevan gives her special love and affection. But his love slowly turns out to be a possessiveness without his own knowledge and it becomes grudgingly worrisome.

How Lakshmi gets along with Vasudevan and over comes him and how Vasudevan's nature is changed forms the crux of the story.
