Timeline
Pattukkottai Kalyanasundaram (13 April 1930 – 8 October 1959) also known as Pattukottaiyar was an Indian Tamil poet and lyricist.
He is known for the lyrics he wrote for M. G. Ramachandran’s movies.
He was born on 13 April 1930 in an agricultural family at Sengapaduthankadu, Thamarankottai village near the town of Pattukkottai, Thanjavur District.
His parents were Arunachalam Pillai and Visalakshi Ammal.
Arunachalam Pillai was a Tamil scholar and a folk poet.
PKS had an elder brother, Ganapathisundaram, and a sister, Vedhanayaki.
PKS did not go to school, but was nevertheless a skilled poet.
PKS worked for Kuyil, a magazine run by Bharathidasan.
He first wrote lyrics for a Tamil movie Paditha Penn.
Tamil Nadu Murpokku Ezhuthalar Sangam, brought out souvenirs on Pattukkottaiyaar's 50th, 56th and 60th birthdays.
PKS was very active and successful in the Tamil film industry during the years 1954–1959 and wrote around 250 songs, including several songs for two leading Tamil movie stars of that period– MGR and Sivaji Ganesan.
He married Gowravammal from Athikkottai (a village near Pattukkottai).
However, he achieved success as lyricist even before the release of Paditha Penn (which was released on 20 April 1956) when Maheswari, a film for which he penned five songs were released ahead on 13 November 1955.
The music director for this movie was G. Ramanathan; C. V. Sridhar wrote the script and dialogue.
The Kalyanasundaram–Sridhar combination proved to be successful again with the movie Kalyana Parisu.
As detailed by director Sridhar's remembrance PKS wrote eight lyrics for this love triangle plot, all of which were successful.
His mentor Bharathidasan presided over his marriage on 11 September 1957 at Madras.
In 1959, the couple gave birth to a boy baby, named Kumaravelu.
After suffering severe migraine attacks, Kalyanasundaram underwent nose operation in September 1959.
It is rather unfortunate that he was a victim of a botched surgery, and a few days later, he died of cerebral haemorrhage on 8 October 1959, at a young age of 29.
The first compilation of Pattukkottai Kalyanasundaram's songs appeared in 1965 in printed form.
Comparative studies and criticism have also been published in the form of books by several authors, such as Paa.
In 1981, the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu, M. G. Ramachandran conferred posthumously the prestigious Bharathidasan Award to Pattukkottaiyaar.
Later in 1993,the then Chief Minister Jayalalithaa declared nationalization of Pattukkottaiyaar's literary works.In 2000,a memorial structure, Pattukkottai Kalyanasundaram Manimandapam, was erected in Pattukkottai and was inaugurated by the then Chief Minister Muthuvel Karunanidhi.
A bronze statue was unveiled at a busy junction in Pattukkottai town and a special souvenir was released on the statue unveiling ceremony in 1995..
The government of India brought out a souvenir on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee of India's Independence recognizing Mahakavi Subramaniya Bharathi, Pavendhar Bharathidasan and Makkal Kavignar Pattukkottai Kalyanasundaram as the three foremost Tamil poets of the 20th century.
