Devaraagam is a 1996 Indian Malayalam-language romantic drama film directed by Bharathan and starring Aravind Swamy and Sridevi.

It also had KPAC Lalitha, Kozhikode Narayanan Nair, Zeenath, and Nedumudi Venu in supporting roles.

This was the movie in which actress Sridevi came back to Malayalam Industry after a long gap, as she was concentrated on her Hindi film career.

The 'Shavundi' and child begin talking in the cart ride to the funeral, and then a flashback takes us to meet Lakshmi.

Life for Lakshmi (Sridevi) turns head over heels when Vishnu (Aravind Swamy), the new priest's son and priest-in-training, shows up in her village.

Broken and distraught, Vishnu leaves his home and travels to many temples, hoping to find peace.

At present, due to some circumstances, it is shown that Lakshmi's husband is dead, and Vishnu is the one who is performing funeral as Shavundi.

Knowing the truth, Vishnu refused to become the Shavundi and take Lakshmi and his son away from society to lead a happy life.

[5] K. N. Vijiyan of New Straits Times reviewing the Tamil dubbed version wrote "There are no fast dances or fighting scenes here.

However, the film's music was universally praised and the lead cast received mostly favorable reviews.

Sridevi's performance in the film, her look (especially her effortless, glamorous song and dance routines) was well appreciated by the audience.
