Devasuram is one of the most successful Malayalam movies and was directed by I. V. Sasi starring Mohanlal. The movies has a cult following and the characters in the movies are fondly remembered by the Malayalees. The rivalary between Mangalasherry Neelakandan (Mohanlal) and Shekaran (Napolean) is the main theme of the movie.

Neelakandan (an alternative name of lord Shiva) is the is the heir to the well known Mangalasherry family who squanders away his father's largesse and good name, but is loved by the people who knows him well. Neelakandan was the arch rival of Shekaran of the Mundakkal family right form the childhood days. During a minor ruckus, one of the aides of Neelakandan accidentally kills Shekaran' uncle (Janardanan). This incites Shekaran and he plans to avenge the death of his uncle.Meanwhile Neelakandan offends Bhanumathi (Revathi), a dance graduate, by forcing her to dance in front of him in his house. In retaliation Bhanumathi quits dancing and curses Neelakandan that she will dance again only after his death. Later he feels regretful and helps her family in many ways and tries to persuade Bhanumathi to take up dancing again, but she doesn't budge. That night on which he was returning home from Bhanumathi's home, Shekaran and his aides ambushes him and injures him seriously.

Neelakandan survives the attack, but his legs are badly injured and undergoes some ayurvedic treatment to rejevente his legs. It is during this time that Bhanumathi falls in love with him (she is also regretful for having cursed him). Neelakandan convinces Bhanumathi to dance and he arranges for a dance event for her at Delhi. Neelakandan tries to forget all the past events and his rivalry with Shekaran, but Shekaran is not satisfied and wants to defeat Neelakandan in front of the whole village. For this he kidnaps Bhanumathi and forces Neelakandan to take blows in front of the public during a village festival organised by the Mundakkal family. Meanwhile Neelakandan's friends rescues Bhanumathi and after this Neelakandan mauls Shekaran badly and cut's off Shekaran's right hands, so that he will not again come up with revenge later.
