“27.04.2002” is always
a memorable day
for this writer as it
was only on that day
Veteran Film Director
Editor (Senior) late
Mr. K. Shankar (KS),
“Mellisai Mannar”
M . S . V i s w a n a t h a n
(M.S.V) this writer as
“Guests of Honour had
travelled in the very
same car all the way to

Arivanandham (KPA)
D. Lit. (in Photo), who
is a veteran story
writer for stage plays,
TV Serials, Feature
Films, a Veteran Poet,
Dramatist, Lyricist
a veteran in Religious
discourses but it
turned out to be a
Felicitation function
for MSV himself as
KS KPA’s speech
on that day centered
around MSV that was
reconfirmed this day by
KPA at A.R.S. Gardens
Studio amidst his
shooting Schedule.
1. I n
“NAVAGRAHA NAYAKI”
Starring Vijayakanth
K.R. Vijaya, M.S.V.
mellifluously fitted
different tunes for
all 9 Grahas in one
climax song written
by KPA “Udayathil
Oli Thandhu” with 9
different voices like
TMS, Kovai Kamala etc.
2. In “Nambinaar
Keduvadhilaie” when
a spoilt girl appeals to
Lord Ayyappa “will you
also discard me” with
the following lyrics by
KPA “Kandrin Yechilaal
P a a l a b i s h e g a m ,
Vandin Yechilaal
T h e n a b i s h e g a m ,
Yendrum Yetridum
Irivanukku Yen Mel
Yenna Kovam” MSV
had scored his best
bringing emotional
audience to tears.
3. In “Velondu
Vinayilaie” starring
Vijayakanth Ambika
MSV had just told KPA
“Sandham” – Thana
Thanathana - 6 times
in which KPA filled up
with following lyrics
“Muthukumaranaie
Nitham Panivavar
Sitham Thaniloru
Sathi Kanal Adhu
Yetu Dhisayilum Patri
Paravidum Muruga”
which became a super
hit song.
4. In “Muperum
Deviyar” starring
Sujatha, Lakshmi, K.R.
Vijaya Prabhu MSV’s
tune in the climax
song had brought
soothingly the History

T h i r u v i l a y a a d a l ”
Starring Vijayakanth
Radha K. Shankar
had taken several shots
running to final edited
length of 1000 Feet.
After seeing it he felt
only a fitting song could
match the shots. So he
asked MSV to compose
a song based on the
finished product which
MSV challengingly did
“a rarest of a rare case”
in film industry. That
was for KPA’s lyrics
“Meenakshi Kalyana
Vaibogamey” that
turned to be an instant
hit.
6. In “Vetri
Vinayakar” Starring
Srividya, Delhi Ganesh,
etc MSV tuned “16 types
of Vinayakar’s names”
in different styles
to suit KPA’s lyrics
“Om Kaara Vadivathil
Uruvaanavan Andha
Osaiekul Naal Vedha
Porul Aanavan” sung
by S.P. Sailaja
MSV did not shy
away from working
for dubbing films. He
treated both straight
and dubbing films as
one and the same.
7. “ V a r u v a n
M a n i k a n d a n ”
(Dubbed) MSV had
just suggested to KPA
a “Sandham” the
same was filled by KPA
as follows “Thiripuram
Y e r i t h a v a r a a m
T h i r i s o o l a m
T h a r i t h a v a r a a m
Aram Varam
Koduthidavey Asuran
Angu Thurathidavey
Padharndhu Paar
Ulagam Ayan
Pirandhida Oru

became a hit.
In short MSV was a
master crafts man
in all types of music.
He moved alike with
everyone big or small,
veteran or new comer,
young or old.

M a n a y a n g a t h
S u b r a m a n i a n
Viswanathan (24
June 1928 – 14 July
2015), also known as
M.S.V., was an Indian
music director and
composer. He was
popularly known as
Mellisai Mannar (Tamil
for The King of Light
Music). He composed
songs in Tamil,
Malayalam, Telugu,
Kannada, and Hindi
for over 1200 films.
He worked primarily
in Tamil, Malayalam
and Telugu films. He
also acted and sung in
a few Tamil films. The
Chief Minister of Tamil
Nadu J Jayalalithaa
conferred the Thirai Isai
Chakravarthy (Tamil
for The Emperor of
Cine Music) title on
him in August 2012
and presented him
with 60 gold coins and
a new car.
V i s w a n a t h a n
composed film music
together with composer
and violinist T. K.
Ramamoorthy from
the 1950s to 1965,
as Viswanathan–
Ramamoorthy and from
1965 until 2014 he
worked independently
as a composer
Viswanathan was
born on 24 June
1928 to Manayangath
Subramanian and
Narayanikutty (or
Naanikutty) in
Elappully village in
Palakkad, Kerala,
India. His father died
when Viswanathan
was four years old, and
his mother decided to
kill him and herself as
an escape from abject
poverty and lack of
support. He was saved
at the last minute by
his grandfather. His
grandfather Krishnan
Nair was a warden
at the central jail of
Kannur. As a child,
he sold refreshments
in a movie theatre
without any pay, so
he could listen to the
music in the films.
He had a part in the
filmKannagi produced
by Jupiter Pictures.
His primary education
was at Pallikunnu,
Kannur. He would often
play truant from school
and stand outside the
house of Neelakanta
Bhagavathar, a local
music teacher, and
listen to his teaching
other students.
He learnt to play
the harmonium,
and Neelakanta
Bhagavathar, who
heard him play and
sing on a Vijayadasami
Day, was impressed
and organised a three-
hour concert at the
Kannur town hall.
He later gave his first
stage performance in
Trivandrum at the age
of 13. He worked as an
office boy for Jupiter
Pictures in the 1940s,
earning Rs 3 per
month.
Viswanathan was
married to Janaki and
they have four sons
and three daughters.
His wife, Janaki, died
on 14 May 2012.
Viswanathan had
always wanted to be an
actor and singer, but
was not successful.
He had a few small
roles in stage dramas
in the 1940s. The
composer and violinist
T. R. Papa met
Viswanathan, took
a liking to him and
arranged a job for him
as an errand boy for
S. V. Venkatraman's
musical troupe in
1942. In that company
of musicians,
Viswanathan realised
that he had the
inclination and
the potential for
composing music. He
thereafter joined S.
M. Subbaiah Naidu
and at times assisted
him. He then joined
C. R. Subburaman's
musical troupe as a
harmonium player.
Here, he met T. K.
Ramamoorthy and
T. G. Lingappa, the
two leading violinists
at that time.T. G.
Lingappa also became
a renowned music
composer on his own
in the 1950s.
M. S. Viswanathan
began his solo career
in 1965. Viswanathan
is known for having
incorporated various
genres of world
music into Indian
cinema music. He
used elements such
as humming and
whistling in his songs,
and blended new
trends such as western
music and disco with
Indian classical tunes.
Some of his films as
solo music composer
include Idhayakani,
Gallatta Kalyanam,
Moondru Dheivangal,
Kannan En Kadhalan,
Dheiva Magan,
Rickshakaran, Ulagam
Sutrum Vaaliban, and
Urumai Kural. M. S.
Viswanathan also
scored music for many
non-film albums
and for political
campaigns.
He worked with a
number of singers,
both younger artists
and more established
ones, including S. P.
Balasubrahmanyam
and Vani Jairam, P.
Susheela, L. R. Eswari,
T. M. Soundararajan,
and the Malayalam
singer Jayachandran.
He is also considered
responsible for
making singers like
R. Balasaraswathi,
S. Janaki, A. L.
Raghavan, Sirkazhi
Govindarajan and
Yesudas popular
names, and he gave
Swarnalatha her first
job as a playback
singer when she was
14 years old.
Viswanathan worked
with many different film
directors, including
B. R. Panthulu, S. S.
Vasan, B. S. Ranga,
and Krishnan-Panju
in the 1950s, and in
later decades with
C. V. Sridhar,A.
Bhimsingh, Madhavan,
