Known for a wide repertoire of TV compositions, D. Imman longed to hear his music playing on the big screen. At first, his fledgling film career looked like it wouldn't take off—but with the soundtrack to Mynaa, a 2010 romantic drama that swept major awards and became a huge popular success, the musician's destiny was sealed. His later soundtracks, including the Tamil comedy Pokkiri Raja, led the Indian media to dub D. Imman “the patron saint of heartbreak”. His current position at the top of the Indian music charts is anything but.
