I loved the songs in "Thoovana Thumbikal"? Was that done by Johnson too? I know the BGM was. Anyway, "Onam Ragam Padi" was the best song in that movie.

>>aakashamake is from namukku paarkkan munthirithoppukal...mandaracheppundo from dasharadham is very nostalgic.. the other one chinjilam thenmozhi is as good as mandara..but not many know theres such a song... too bad.

Perumbavoor G. Ravindranath.
His son studied in my school as one year senior. (2 years ago).. we were good friends..
He is still in Trivandrum. He had a small show in Asianet not so long ago.
Innale was smart.. Thuvanathumpikal was sensational. "Megham Poothuthudangi..." great song. so was "Onnam Ragam paadi.."

Nowadays only Sathyan Anthikkadu is the only one giving chance to Johnson. I feel really pitty on others not utilising this genius music composer

malayalam music industries now ruling by some musicsenseless directors,thats the reason why talented music directors like jhonson and singer like g.venugopal don't have much work to do..thats why i'm listing pakisthani music by "junoon" ."strings" and "fuzon"...

For "thiranottam" celebrating mohanlal, i
think the music show was "directed" by johnson.
He even sang a bit with chitra for "gopike".

Sony,
The movie with Mammootty as the incharge of a reformatory with Sudheesh, Mahesh & co was "Mudra". I think the music was by Mohan Sitara, and one of the memorable song in it was "Puthumazhayayi Pozhiyaam" sung by MG Sreekumar.
