Devata is a 1941 Telugu drama film directed by B. N. Reddi. The huge success of this film lead to the making of more films with the same title in 1964 by B. Padmanabham and in 1982 by D. Ramanaidu.[1] The film was remade in Malayalam as Pavappettaval.[2]

The plot[edit]

Venugopala Murthy returns to his native village from England after passing law school. His mother Mangamma and sister Seetha are very happy. Venu is attracted towards Lakshmi, daughter of Venkaiah, who works as servant in the family. He takes advantage of the sleeping Lakshmi and promises to marry her. He leaves to the city and stays with his uncle Balaramaiah. Venu marries his daughter Vimala. Mangamma and Seetha bring the pregnant Lakshmi to the city. Venu refuses to accept her and offers some money to Lakshmi. She leaves the house when her father arranges for the marriage. She take refuge with the Haridasu family and delivers a child.
