Timeline
Maliyekkal Kochukunju Arjunan (1 March 1936 – 6 April 2020) was an Indian film and theatre composer, known for his works in Malayalam cinema and the theatre of Kerala.
He was fondly referred to as Arjunan Master.
Arjunan was born at Chirattapalam in Fort Kochi (now part of India) on 1 March 1936 as the youngest of 14 children born to Kochukunju and Paru, among whom only four survived childhood.
He lost his father at a young age and his mother (Parvathi), unable to provide for all her children, sent Arjunan and his brother, Prabhakaran, to Jeevakarunyananda Ashram at Palani where Arjunan got his first lessons in music.
After school, the students would sing bhajans; his singing led the head of the ashram to give him music lessons.
For the next few years Arjunan learned music Kumarayya Pillai.
He later learnt music under K.N Vijayarajan Master.
After composing music for amateur plays, he became a professional and worked with Changanassery Geedha, People's Theatre, Kalidasa Kalakendram, Desabhimani Theatres, Alleppey Theatres and KPAC.
Arjunan went on to compose around 800 songs for 300 plays.
Arjunan's first movie as a composer was Karuthapurnami, released in 1968.

During a career spanning 50 years in cinema, Arjunan scored music for more than 500 songs in over 218 Malayalam films.
He is also credited with giving A. R. Rahman his first musical break by giving him a chance to play keyboards in a film.
His last film was Vellaram Kunnile Vellimeenukal, with songs written by Rajeev Alunkal.
His last music composition was on 2019 December for Sreek Music's three love songs written by lyricist Sreekanth M Girinath He died at his home at 3:30 AM IST on 6 April 2020, aged 84, and was cremated with full state honours at Palluruthy crematorium on the same day.
