Divine Act) is a 1967 Indian Tamil-language drama film directed by M. G. Balu and produced by Sandow M. M. A. Chinnappa Thevar, who also wrote the story.
It tells the story of Major who runs a circus and is as close to the animal as he is to his own son played by Muthuraman.
Fate plays havoc in form of Major's creditors, his own daughter-in-law and through her, his son; thereby testing the relationship between himself and his animals.
[2][1] All the animals in the film had been trained to respond to commands in Hindi; since Sundarrajan could speak the language, this worked to his advantage.
[6] Although Deiva Cheyal was not a commercial success, Thevar adapted it in Hindi as Haathi Mere Saathi (1971), starring Rajesh Khanna.
