Devara Kannu (ⓘ transl. God's eye) is a 1975 Indian Kannada-language film, directed by Y. R. Swamy. The film stars Lokesh and Aarathi, in lead roles with Anant Nag and Ambareesh, who were relative newcomers, in supporting roles. The film has musical score by T. G. Lingappa.[1][2] The film is based on a Bengali novel by Dr. Nihar Ranjan Gupta. The film was remade in Tamil as Annan Oru Koyil, in Malayalam as Ellaam Ninakku Vendi and in Telugu as Bangaru Chellelu.[3]
This is a murder mystery where Ramesh (Lokesh) is on the run from the police as he is accused of murdering his sister's rapist (Ambareesh). He runs into Sandhya (Aarathi) who should have been his fiance, at a lonely railway station. His sister (Jayalakshmi) now has amnesia. Together with her doctor husband (Anant Nag) Sandhya sets out to unravel the sequence of events that can save Ramesh. A last minute confession by the sister brings the film to a satisfactory end.
