Poetic Obituaries: [D.K. Pattammal] first sang in "Thyagabhoomi",

a film banned by the British rule for its patriotic content, and then in "Naam Irruvar".

Among her big hits was "Aduvome pallu paduvome", a utopian creation of Bharathi celebrating a free India, in Naam Iruvar. She went on to popularise several patriotic compositions of the revolutionary Tamil poet.

from The Hindu: Carnatic vocalist Pattammal is no more
