K.S. Chithra Turns 50

K.S. Chithra Turned 50 on Saturday ,K.S. Chithra has been Malalayali’s favourite female voice for three decades now. And she continues to sound as fresh, as lovely as she did when she sang “Manjal prasadavum…” (Nakhakshathangal), one of the biggest hits early on in her career, in 1986.

The two compositions by Bombay Ravi, making a spectacular debut in Malayalam cinema, helped Chithra gain in popularity; that album, released by Tharangini, remains one of the most successful in Malayalam cinema’s history.

She was the first choice for top composers such as Jerry, Johnson, Ouseppachan and Raveendran and she gave one hit after another. A matchless voice, the ability to give emotion to every word and the very little time she took to learn a song made her the favourite with just about every music director. For some three decades, almost every Malayalam film heroine sang in her voice.
