Sadma movie is a 1983 Indian Hindi-language tragedy romantic drama film, written and directed by Balu Mahendra. It stars Kamal Haasan and Sridevi in lead roles, with the music composed by Ilaiyaraaja. The film tells the story of Nehalata Malhotra, a young woman who regresses to childhood as result of retrograde amnesia after suffering a head injury in a car crash. She was lost, and ended up trapped in a brothel before being rescued by Somu, a lonely school teacher who falls in love with her. The film was released on 8 July 1983.

The film was a remake of Mahendra’s own 1982 Tamil film Moondram Pirai, which also starred Kamal and Sridevi. Sadma was widely acclaimed by critics for its direction, screenplay, music and performances. Sridevi’s performance as an amnesiac woman was widely praised. Although a commercial failure upon release, Sadma over the years has gained cult status.

At the 31st Filmfare Awards, Sadma received three nominations: Best Actor (Kamal Haasan) Best Actress (Sridevi) and Best Story (Mahendra).

The music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, in his Bollywood debut, and the lyrics were penned by Gulzar. Ilaiyaraaja retained two of his compositions from the original Tamil version. The song “Vaanengum Thanga Vinmeengal” was tuned differently for the Hindi version as “Yeh Hawa Yeh Fiza”. The song “Narikkathai” was replaced with the song “Ek Dafa Ek Jungle Tha” in the Hindi version. The song “Poongatru Puthithanathu” was replaced with slightly different “Ae Zindagi Gale Laga Le” which itself also was used in 1984 Tamil movie Thambikku Entha Ooru sung by SPB. “Ae Zindagi Gale Laga Le” was first remade for the film Prague (2013) by Atif Afzal. It was again remade for the film Dear Zindagi (2016) by Amit Trivedi. Music director A. R. Rahman worked as a keyboard player for this film.
