Sathyan Anthikad's is once again back with his new film Bhagyadevata This Malayalam film is yet another masterpiece, after Sathyan Anthikad's super hit family entertainer Achuvinte Amma (2005), Rasathanthram (2006) and Vinodhayathra (2007). After a unexciting start, this family entertainer, Malayalam movie, set in the green background of Kerala's Kuttanad area, is now running house full in all theatres across the state.

Bhagyadevata’s storyline revolve around Benny (character of Jayaram), a farmer and local cable television operator in Kuttanad. Benny’s family has his widowed mother, two sisters Sali & Sophy, and his grandmother. In their life struggle, Benny often find himself on the losing side in many setbacks. Benny is continuously searching for venturing to some business that would make him financially strong. Benny's friend Sadanandan (Nedumuni Venu) gives him the idea of buying a used fishing boat. Toget finance for the boat, he also suggests that Benny should get married for a large dowry. Benny marries a state agriculture officer's daughter Daisy (Kanihaa) hopeful to get dowry of five Lakh rupees.

However, Daisy's father (Venu Nagavalli) fails to give amount on the day of marriage. He asks for a three months time. In the meantime, Daisy becomes the dear of his home, but Benny, who had intended things, based on the dowry and even paid an advance for a fishing boat, feels cheated and becomes distressed. He tells his wife that he will not approve the marriage unless he gets the money. Things take a different twist from that point.

Jayaram is indeed perfect for his role. cinematographer Venu and Ilayaraja has done a great job. Kanihaa looks perfect as a Christian girl from a rural surroundings, though her character has few dialogues in the movie. Most of Sathyan Anthikkad's trusted actors including Innocent, Mammukoya, K.P.A.C. Lalitha and Narein have perfect roles. Even the two girls who played the role of Jayaram's sisters and the owner of the fishing boat have performed well to make the movie perfect.
