'വലിയ പ്രതിഭകളുടെ ആധിപത്യമുണ്ടായിരുന്ന കാലത്തും മലയാളികളുടെ മനസ്സിലിടം നേടിയ പാട്ടെഴുത്തുകാരൻ'

In Short: Renji Panicker paid tribute to the late lyricist Mankombu Gopalakrishnan. He said that during a time when great poets were writing, an ordinary man from Kuttanad emerged as a songwriter in the film industry, carving out his own space and gifting Malayalis with songs that would be remembered forever. When he passed away, the mark left by Mankombu Gopalakrishnan will remain etched in the Malayalam music industry for generations to come, Renji Panicker stated.
