T.M.Soundararajan was honoured in this function. Manorama, who joined MGR in 26 films, remembered her glorious days with the 'Master of Cinema'.
Lakshman Sruthi orchestra presented the super hit songs of MGR till late night, and the entire crowd stayed back in the auditorium for the concluding song too.
