Devatha (English: Goddess) is a 1982 Telugu film directed by K. Raghavendra Rao, starring Sobhan Babu, Sridevi, Jaya Prada and Mohan Babu. The film is about two sisters and their love triangle with a man. K. Raghavendra Rao remade it in Hindi as Tohfa (1984), with both Sridevi and Jaya Prada reprising their roles. It was also remade in Tamil as Deiva Piravi (1985) starring Mohan, Urvashi and Radhika.
