Tribute 891.

Tribute to Muktha Ramaswamy 891 As we near the centenary year of the late legend Muktha Ramaswamy, I take this moment to fondly recollect his remarkable journey in the Tamil film industry — a journey that earned him deep admiration from his colleagues and the entire film fraternity. Muktha Ramaswamy began his career with the iconic Modern Theatres, if I recall correctly. Later, his brother V. Srinivasan joined him in this cinematic journey. Taking a bold step forward, Ramaswamy ventured into independent film production under the banner of Muktha Films. With his brother by his side, the company soon evolved into a renowned family enterprise, synonymous with quality and professionalism. Muktha Films went on to produce several successful films featuring almost all the leading actors of the time was amazing.. Still, the banner became a household name among cinema lovers, known for its strong storytelling, solid production values, and artistic integrity. Muktha Ramaswamy carved a niche for himself as a highly efficient, budget-conscious producer who never compromised on professionalism. He was especially respected for his rare commitment to ensuring that actors and technicians were paid promptly — a principle that set him apart, and one that remains admirable even today. Together, the Ramaswamy-Srinivasan duo contributed immensely to Tamil cinema, leaving behind an indelible mark over an impressive 63-year legacy. Even today, the names Muktha Films and the Muktha 60 Group continue to be celebrated, particularly among fans on platforms like the Dovial Site Facebook community. The visionary founder Muktha Ramaswamy, along with his dedicated brother V. Srinivasan, truly built an empire that continues to shine. Their contributions resonate with pride and honor in the hearts of Tamil film lovers. Today, their children — Ravi, Maya Srinivasan, Sundar, and Ramaswamy’s daughter Vidhya — carry forward this rich legacy. Their various programs and initiatives continue to pay heartfelt tribute to their legendary parents — a fact that no one can deny. It gives me immense joy and pride to offer this humble tribute to the versatile and legendary Muktha Ramaswamy as we approach his Centenary Year. His contributions will forever remain etched in the golden history of Tamil cinema. K. Ragavan ---
