Both shared a good rapport and gave us Hits like Mouna Ragam, Nayagan, Agni Nakshathiram, Geetanjali (Idhayathai Thirudadhe), Anjali and Dhalapathy. Though Pagal Nilavu and Idhaya Kovil are mediocre movies (not of Mani Ratnam standards), they have awesome Music.
As per my knowledge, this duo introduced the concept of Theme Music in films. Mani's debut film Pallavi Anupallavi in Kannada has an Awesome Theme Music and one of the songs is now used as the Ringtone of Idea Cellular Service. The Theme Music of Mouna Ragam drives me crazy (My all time favourite). It has been my Mobile ringtone for several years. Unfortunately both parted their ways but fortunately Mani introduced ARR, the Oscar-winner. This clearly showa that Mani has a good taste of Music and needless to say that his films are Musical Hits.
Today I changed my caller tune to "Mandram vandha Thendralukku...", the master-piece movie of the duo, as a dedication to them.
Long live IR & MR

True legends they are !!!
They are one among the persons who took tamil cinema to international light.
Both of them speak very little in public, as their talents speak out the rest.
Happy B'day IR 'n' MR !!!
