It is hard to learn the passing away of a great man who always put a smile on your face. My first memory of Madan Bob is Vaaname Ellai and he grew on as a performer and the man next door with incredible short performances in Devar Magan, Poove Unakkaga, Friends, Poovellam Kettupaar, Miinsara Kanna, Thenali, Ethiree, Chandramukhi, Arai Enn 305il Kadavul, Ethirneechal etc. I was amazed by the way he created an impact by just appearing in a scene or two with minimal or no coherence to the main story. His trademark smile and body language always brought out smile or laughter from the audience. During COVID lockdown, I was doing a quiz on screen names and real names and only then I realized that his name was Krishnamurthy. It was also during that time that I learned about his musical prowess. While we thank Madan Bob Sir for all the great memories, we pray that his soul attains peace.
