Devendran, also known as Ravi Devendran, is an Indian music composer who works in Tamil-language films. He is known for the melodious composition of chartbuster "Kannukkul Nooru Nilava" from the Bharathiraja directed film Vedham Pudhithu released in 1987.
Early life
Devendran was born and raised in Vadakarai. He studied Carnatic, Hindustani and Western music.[1]
Career
Devendran began his career as a music teacher at a Tiruvottiyur school. Once when director R. Sundarrajan came as the chief guest for an event there, he was impressed with a song performed by the students, which was composed by Devendran, and announced at the event that he would be the composer of his next directorial. However, since the project was dropped, producer Kovaithambi hired Devendran to debut in film with Mannukkul Vairam. The film's song "Pongiyathe Kadhal" was based on the school composition that Sundarrajan appreciated. Devendran later composed the music for Bharathiraja's Vedham Pudhithu, where the song "Kannukkul Nooru Nilava" attained popularity.[2] In the following 30 years, he composed for less than 20 films and Bharathiraja bemoaned that Devendran, despite his extensive musical knowledge, did not attain the success or popularity he deserved.[3][4]
