Odi vilayadu pappa lyrics movie#

Radio, AIR, movies, societiesвЂ¦.Many of the great radio jingles of the 70вЂ™s and 80вЂ™s were directed by MBS!!He even acted out the main protagonistвЂ™s role in the controversial John Abraham movie вЂAgraharathile kazuthaвЂ™. Oh! He was a great man, involved in a many activities, making his mark in all he did. Tragically, he died of a heart attach while conducting a choir in Lakshdweep in 1988. M Jayachandran, todays hit music director used to work in the MBS choir!! Many a singer graduated out of his Choir, people like Kavita Krishnamoorthy, Sudha Ranganathan, the list goes on.

MBS started the Madras Youth Choir many years ago. National integration and patriotism were themes that always drove him and he believed in using music to instil these into children. He gave Usha Uthup her movie hit, Peethambara O Krishna, and even penned the lyrics for her chirpy вЂUnder the mango treeвЂ™ in Madana maligai. MBS was again the man who gave Jayachandran his great award winning song вЂRagam sree ragamвЂ™. He worked with all the great singers of the time. He was the one who gave Yesudas his first solo song in Kalpadukal, and also his first duet with Shanta P Nair (a time when the stalwarts would not sing with a newcomer) in the same movie.

Doing music for films was another matter though, he did hardly 8-9 movies in the Tamil world, but Malluwood beckoned and here MBS flourished. Here he met, fell in love with and later married Zahida Kitchlew a Kashmiri Muslim, daughter of the freedom fighter Dr. It was MBSвЂ™s communist leanings which then took him to Delhi and exposed him to plays, music and many other people & languages. Bharatiyar was working up patriotic fervour at that time with his songs and the freedom struggle was peaking. Born in a rich family, music was integral in his early life, but higher studies took MBS to Madras Presidency College. MBS always maintained a low profile in the news media, you read very little about him these or even those days.MBS was not a Mallu, Inhabitants of Chitoor in Andhra Pradesh could not have imagined Manamadurai Balakrishnan Srinivasan Iyengar, born 1925 would go on to become a music maestro, or practise his art in languages not theirs. I thought I will pen a few words on that great man who made me hum many a tune in the bathroom. His songs moved to the вЂold songs collectionвЂ™ in my hard drive to be double-clicked on rarely. Life went on, countries, continents and days passed by. Many of this generation may not know MBS he passed away some eighteen years ago. Then came songs from the movies Yavanika, followed by Chillu and I adored those melodious numbersвЂ¦. I grew fond of MB SrinivasanвЂ™s music when I first heard his songs from the movie Ulkadal. Yesudas is crooning that wonderful MBS song from YavanikaвЂ¦You are listening and picturing a time and place in front of a wood-cased valve radio, fingering its piano key selector array and looking at the magic вЂcatвЂ™ eye twinkling green, But no, Yavanika was actually a 1982 movie!!
