Adrishtam is a 1939 Indian Tamil-language film produced by Mayura Films and directed/written by S.D.S. Yogi.
The plot involves a young heiress who is kidnapped due to property disputes, forcing her into roaming the streets of Madras. A lawyer, portrayed by K.R. Chellam, later becomes involved in fighting for her case.
The main cast includes T. Suryakumari as the heiress and K.R. Chellam as the lawyer. V.V. Satagopan also stars as the lawyer's husband. M.N. Srinivasan is listed among the cast, though his specific role isn't detailed.
The film features music composed by the Sarma Brothers with lyrics written by Yogi; their song "Ayya Siru Penn" was filmed at the historic Moore Market in Madras.
Its release in 1939 coincided with significant censorship edits, including scenes involving Chellam's character asking potentially embarrassing questions that were removed from the final version.
