- TriviaM.S.Vishwanathan has composed music in Hindi for films like Barah Ghante (1975),Bachche Mere Sathi (1972),Pyaara Tarana (1982).Many of the Tamil movies were also dubbed into Hindi and for the dubbed versions he was the music composer.But unlike the kind of numero uno position he enjoyed in South India from 1959-1996, he did very less work in Hindi and though songs were melodious, media attention and publicity for those songs was negligible as those Hindi films for which he composed music flopped. The songs like Aandhi Ke Sang Toofan sung by Ambar Kumar,Jaaneman Tujhpe Hai Aaya Dil sung by Krishna Kalle,Loot Le Le Tu sung by Chetan and Pushpa Pagdhare are some of the songs composed by him which became famous at the time of its release.The duets of Vani Jayram-SPB like Meri Akhiyan Me and Dil Mein Dard were also popular.
