Very rarely all good things combine together. `Devaru Kotta Thangi' an emotional, sacrifice saga of brother and sister is one such produced, directed and distributed by veteran director Om Saiprakash. The film is protracted, the contents are enough to draw the mass audience, the fans of Shivarajakumar will be having a respite the actresses Meera Jasmine and Monica not only looks good but performed very well. The character artists have given admirable support, there are very lovely songs, and the comedy is quite absorbing, the technology pressed for this film - the graphics is in high standards. What else the rural people require to watch this film? Everything is there rather in abundance!
Orphans Shivu (Shivarajakumar) and his sister Lakshmi (Meera Jasmine) are standing example of siblings. Each one is sacrificing and immensely loving in relation. Shivu works as a servant in the family of Zamindar of 18 villages (played by Avinash). He is very close to the family and all good things happen only from him. Zamindar considers him as a bright star of the family. In the same family where Shivu works as servant his sister Lakshmi comes as daughter in law. Thanks to destiny this offer is accepted by Zaminar and his wife but not the six other members in the family. Shivu and Lakshmi in the house of Zamindar finds insult one after the other. Finally Lakshmi works out a scheme to send her brother out from the house. Now it is the turn of vicious minds in the Zamindar family to kick out Lakshmi when she becomes a pregnant. The fury mounts up for Lakshmi and she is made to believe she has to sacrifice her life for stopping the flood and the life of her brother. On the other hand Lakshmi's brother Shivu offers prayers (even injuring himself) for the good of Lakshmi. In the heavy floods pregnant Lakshmi decide to end her life. The vicious minds of Zamindar family in fact face threat to life when they decide to elope from the village. Finally it is all happy ending from Shivu's courage.
Another sterling performance from hat trick hero Shivarajakumar! He has variety in this film and struggled hard. He is emotionally the best. Meera Jasmine is a treat to watch as sister. She has given very good expressions understanding her role very well. Monica as the naughty heroine to Shivarajakumar sizzles from village belle role.
Among the characters artists Avinash has that grit, lively appearance as Zamindar of a family. Hema Chaudhary, Rekha, Sangeetha are apt in their roles. Sadhu Kokila and Lakshmi Devi combination in the comedy track is a relief.
Hamsalekha and Giri in the music and cinematography department earn good applause. The Ugadi song mixed with Kannada language is top of all. The Nagarapanchami festival song is story based song rich in value and tradition. The opening and ending of the cinema with floods is very well captured.
For all emotional lovers this is a good film to watch.
Scoring - 7/10
