Vikatayogi (transl.The Miracle Man) is a 1946 Indian, Tamil-language film produced and directed by K. Subramanyam.[2] The film featured P. U. Chinnappa and T. R. Rajakumari in the lead roles.

Vikatayogi is a mysterious and powerful yogi (people who possesses supernatural abilities).

A cruel and ambitious minister schemes to seize the throne by eliminating the rightful heir to the kingdom. Through deceit and manipulation, the prince is separated from his royal lineage and grows up unaware of his true identity.

As the kingdom suffers under tyranny, Vikatayogi intervenes at critical moments, using wit, illusion, and mystical powers to protect the innocent and subtly guide events toward justice. Along the way, themes of love, loyalty, and destiny unfold, including the prince’s romance and the suffering of those oppressed by the villain’s rule.

In the climax, Vikatayogi reveals the truth about the prince’s heritage, exposes the minister’s treachery, and restores rightful order to the kingdom.
