A.R.Rahman influenced by MSV

• M.S.Viswanathan is the King of Light Music popularly known as “Mellisai Mannar“.

• Though he needs no introduction,most of us are not familiar with beautiful golden oldies given by him.

• He has influenced many music directors in the current generation. Our Master A.R.Rahman is one among them(This is what i think.Its my perception only).

• If you closely notice some(may be a few) of our master Rahman’s soundtracks,you can find some traces of MSV sir.

• One such song which is strongly influenced by MSV sir’s music is “Pennalla Pennalla” song from Uzhavan composed by our Mozart A.R.Rahman.

• You can find traces of MSV sir’s “Pesum Mani Mottu Rojakkal” song(from the movie “Neela Malargal”) in pennalla Pennalla song.

• Listen to the song “Pesum Mani Mottu” song from Neela Malargal released in the year 1979.

• There is one more song composed by our MSV sir in 1960 which sometimes reminds me of both “Pesum Mani Muthu Rojakkal” and “Pennalla Pennalla” song.Here it is… “Chithirai Poovizhi Vaasalile” song from “Idhayathil Nee”..

• An interesting fact is that both “Pennalla Pennalla” song and “Pesum Mani Mottu” song are sung by our own SPB sir.
