Adrishtam ( transl. Luck) is a 1939 Indian Tamil-language film S. D. S. Yogi. The film stars T. Suryakumari, K. R. Chellam, V. V. Satagopan and M. N. Srinivasan.
A young heiress is kidnapped over property disputes, and circumstances force her to begin the streets of Madras. A lady lawyer later fights for her and such events. [1] [2]
Adrishtam was written and directed by S. D. S. Yogi, [1] and produced under Mayura Films. [3] Parts of the song "Ayya Siru Penn", composed by the Sarma Brothers, written by Yogi and sung by Suryakumari, were filmed at the now non-existent Moore Market in Madras. [1]
Adrishtam was released in 1939. [3] According to historian Randor Guy, the Censor Board edited out many scenes such as those where Chellam's lawyer character asks a woman in court "highly embarrassing and intimate" questions, thereby "damaging the film" in the process. Despite this, the film was well received by audiences, [1] and Suryakumari became a household name in Tamil through this film along with Vipra Narayana and Ambikapathy (both 1937). [4]
