Ormakkayi (1982)

The story, told in flashback during a scooter ride through the city on a bleak and rainy day, of Susanna’s (Madhavi) tragic life. Recently released from prison, she looks for her little daughter in the city’s orphanage. Her story involves the death of her pleasure-loving Anglo-Indian father, her marriage to the kindly deaf-and-dumb painter Nandagopal and the unwelcome advances of the pop singer Peter Lal. In a scuffle, both Peter and Nandagopal are killed, causing Susanna to be put in jail and her daughter in an orphanage.
