Sevasadanam is a 1938 Indian Tamil-language drama film directed by K. Subramanyam. It is one of the early Tamil films to be set in a contemporary social setting and to advocate reformist social policies. This was the first film for M. S. Subbulakshmi and the Tamil debut of Telugu actress S. Varalakshmi.

Production

After the success of Balayogini (1937), director Subramanyam was encouraged to make more socially oriented films. In 1938 he decided to make a film version of Premchand's novel Bazaar-e-Husn and bought the rights for ₹4,000 (worth ₹7.2 million in 2021 prices). While Balayogini was about the travails of widows, Sevasadanam dealt with domestic abuse, prostitution and women's liberation.
