Devara Kannu is a 1975 Indian Kannada-language film, directed by Y. R. Swamy. The film stars Lokesh, Aarathi, 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 in the hero (Lokesh) is on the run from the Police as he is accused of murdering the rapist (Ambareesh) of his sister on the spot. His sister has amnesia and cannot remember the sequence of events. He meets his fiance Arathi in a lonely railway station. Together with the Psychologist Doctor (Anant Nag) they have to unravel the murder mystery and find out if :Lokesh was indeed the killer as alleged. Thrilling last minute confession by the sister (Jayalakshmi) brings the film to a satisfactory end. Highly recommended movie based on a novel by a Bengali author Nihar Ranjan Gupta.
The music was composed by T. G. Lingappa.[4]
