== Release and reception ==<br />
''Adrishtam'' was released in 1939.<ref name="Anandan" /> According to historian [[Randor Guy]], the [[Central Board of Film Certification|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,<ref name="RandorGuy" /> and Suryakumari became a household name in Tamil through this film along with ''[[Vipra Narayana]]'' and ''[[Ambikapathy (1937 film)|Ambikapathy]]'' (both 1937).<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/Blast-From-The-Past-Rythubidda-1939/article14685537.ece |title=Blast From The Past – Rythubidda (1939) |last=Narasimham |first=M.
