A divine and devout film in the times of commercial crass? Well, there is no reading the minds of the movie makers and where they seek to milk their moolah from. That said, sit and relax as Singandhuru Chowdeshwari Mahime takes you one a socio-religious trip and way back to the yore.

In this age and time, you have two traditional and God fearing women – Kalyani and Rekha, selfless and going through unmitigated sufferings awaiting redemption through divine intervention. A clutch of foursome, fun-loving, modern youth who scorn and scoff all things religion and miracles, form the other spectrum of Singandhuru, all knit in the narrative of director Shashikumar as he tries to bring home the significance and sing paeans of the local goddess.

If Rekha goes through trial of fire thanks to a tyrannical mother-in-law and an equally demonic sister-in-law, Kalyani, on the other hand, silently suffers being wed to a drunkard Nandi, for she has been vowed to him by her father with the two were kids. As to the youth, wanting to reach Jog Falls before night fall, the foursome deride and scoff at Akshay and Swathi’s request to visit Singadhuru Chowdeshwari Temple prior to visiting the tourist spot.

How the goddess brings about changes in their mindset about religion and devotion through working several extra-sensory interventions forms the fulcrum of Singandhuru. The film, in its short span of 111 minutes, also shows how the goddess came to nestle in the village of Sagar taluk. If divine date is your idea of ushering in the festival and learn more about the mystical qualities of Chowdheshwari, then  Singandhuru Chowdheshwari awaits you for a pious time at the theatre near you and be blessed. Om Shanti!
