The first of Vishwanath’s several ‘classical’ musicals (cf. Shankarabharanam, 1979) is a love story between Hema (Jayapradha), a pretty deaf-mute dancer, and Samba (Chandramohan), a talented drummer. Their love has to overcome the prejudices suffered by the disabled woman, esp. from her stepmother. The film has 10 songs and was a hit mainly for Mahadevan’s music. Remade by the director in Hindi as Sargam (1979) starring Rishi Kapoor and Jayapradha.
