M.M.Keerwani / M.M.Kreem

We would be rejoicing that RRR came, saw and conquered at the Golden Globes. SS Rajamouli's blockbuster won Best Original Song for Naatu Naatu, one of the two categories it was nominated in. It missed out in the Best Non-English Language Film which was won by Argentina.
The music director of this is M.M.Keerawani. Also known as M.M.Kreem.
He was given a break with Kshana Kshanam ( transl. Every Moment) 
(Remade as Daud ) by Ram Gopal Verma. 
He got a break in Hindi films with Criminal in 1994 ..The songs of which are hits even today esp Tum Mile Dil khile aur jeene Ko kya Chahiye.
He has given melodious music since then in Hindi. Not as prominent as 
A R.Rehman or Illayraja I have always liked his music synchronisation with the situation. 
The 62 year old music wizard I remember for 
Jism ( All songs are evergreen)
Rog ( Maine Dil Se Kaha )
Sur ( AA Bhi Ja AA Bhi Jaa)
Zakham ( Gali Main Aaj Chand Nikla)
Iss Raat Ki Subah Nahin
(Chup tum raho Chup H Rahen).
O Saathiya ( Saaya)
Recently he gave music to thrillers like Operation Romeo and 12 0 Clock.
He is so the music director for the Baahubali series and finally the summit of sorts RRR.
We are proud of A.R.Rehman but now equally proud of M.M.Keerawani.
