Smule Mirchi Music Awards South’s ode to south Indian film music fraternity
Music creates Magic! And it was
the power of this magic that was unleashed at the Smule Mirchi Music Awards
South as it celebrated its 11th Edition of awards!
The challenge of lack of movie
releases in 2020 inspired the award committee to turn it into an opportunity to
make this year a bigger and better canvas for the music fraternity by adopting
the theme of ‘Best of the Decade’ which meant that the Smule Mirchi Music
Awards South was an event that adjudged the best work of the last decade
2010-2020!
Every single winner across
categories in the last decade became a nominee and the Jury selected the ‘Best
of the Best’ for the award of the decade! Needless to say, the selection was a
tough process. In keeping with protocol since inception, the entire jury
process was audited by Ernst & Young, it is this transparency and trust that
has built the credibility of Smule Mirchi Music Awards South in the music
industry. Our powerhouse jury had veterans and the new age mavericks alike – Sudha
Raghunathan, Arivumathi, Srinivas, P Unikrishnan, Selva Ganesh, Rajesh Vaidhya,
Kala Master, Raja Krishnan, Sukanya and Sridhar Pillai!
The award night saw the stage
being set on fire by some scintillating performances like Master Rapper Bjorn,
who rapped and danced his heart out! Regina Cassandra whose foot tapping dance
has everyone wanting to join in! Nikhil Mathew, Soundarya, Srinisha and Ajay
Krishna all of whom treated the audience to a musical extravaganza! ‘Cook with
Comali’ famed duo Shivangi and Bala added the punch to the event with their
comedy skit! And setting the stage literally on fire was Gaby of the Big Boss
fame!
The highlights of the Smule Mirchi Music Awards South –

Whether
it was the candlelight tribute to the legendary SPB or the poignancy of winning
an award in his memory, whether it was the child-like glee on Chitra’s face
when she received an award from Kamal Hassan for the first time or Vidyasagar
cutting a cake to mark his 25th year, whether it was a coup of sorts
for D Iman’s Kannana Kanne or Sivakarthikeyan and Anirudh dancing together in
an impromptu jig – there were moments of joy, celebration and the coming
together of a fraternity that enriches all our lives with the gift of music!
Mirchi celebrates and salutes, the music fraternity for their
