Swathi

Deva () is a 1995 Indian Tamil-language romantic action film directed by S. A. Chandrasekhar and produced by B. Vimal. The film stars Vijay, and debutante Swathi, while Sivakumar, Manorama, Mansoor Ali Khan and Manivannan play supporting roles. The film revolves around a couple who are deeply in love, but encounter opposition from the woman's father, who is head of the village. The father believes the man is not a suitable partner due to his perceived reputation. The film was released on 17 February 1995 and had a successful theatrical run of 100 days in Tamil Nadu.

Plot

Deva and Bharathi are deeply in love, but encounter opposition from Bharathi's father Gandhidasan, the head of the village. Gandhidasan believes that Deva is not a worthy suitor due to his perceived reputation throughout the village. Although the son of the wealthy Raasathi, it comes to light that Gandhidasan's disapproval stems from his relationship with his brother Rajadurai aka Periyavar, who is seemingly apathetic and unenthusiastic. The film ends happily with Gandhidasan recognising that his now son-in-law Deva is actually a really upstanding citizen in the village. Deva and Bharathi overcome all problems and live their lives happily married.
