Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on June 02, 1943)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Maestro Ilaiyaraaja! With over 4,500 songs and nearly 1,000 film scores under your belt, you've composed more melodies than most of us have had hot dinners. Honestly, at this point we're convinced you compose music even in your sleep—do you dream in symphonies too?

From timeless classics like "Rakkamma Kaiya Thattu" to soulful masterpieces such as "Ilaya Nila," you've given generations a soundtrack for every emotion imaginable. Your recent live concerts still pack stadiums; clearly age is just another note on your endless musical scale. Keep rocking those harmonies—here's to many more birthdays filled with rhythm and laughter!
