about

Dharan is an Indian music composer, who mainly produces film scores and soundtracks in the Tamil film industry. He rose to fame with Parijatham, featuring the hit single Unnai Kandene, which marked his debut as a film score composer. Film scores Dharan used to participate in music programs in the college, director K. Bhagyaraj's daughter Saranya studied in. For her debut venture, Parijatham, directed by her father, Saranya recommended Dharan as the film composer, by which he happened to enter the Tamil film industry. The album became a chartbuster, with the song "Unnai Kandaene" being listed among the top ten songs of the year and earning him a name in the industry. Sify in its review described Dharan's songs and background score as "a major highlight" of the film, which itself became a commercial successful as well. His next release was the soundtrack album to the low-budget horror thriller Sivi that starred newcomers. The album received very positive reviews and response as well, while Dharan's background score was highly appreciated by critics and described as "haunting", and "top-class" that gives the film "its true color". Behindwoods, in particular, praised his work, citing that Dharan had "enjoyed his work and threatened the audience] continuously with his music", further adding that he had understood his role "perfectly well" and "delivered the goods with a sharp flourish". The film, despite garnering favorable reviews, performed poorly at the box office. Only 2009
