Veteran film historian, columnist, and writer Madabhushi Rangadorai, who went by his pen name Randor Guy, passed away on Sunday night after a prolonged illness at the age of 86.
A professional lawyer, it was Randor’s passion for films and writing that made him move from a career in law. He went on to write columns for many publications, including a weekly column ‘Blast from the Past’ in The Hindu. Notably, he also wrote screenplays for a few short documentaries and feature films, apart from producing advertisement films as well.
Randor also authored over 50 books in Tamil and English; ‘Memories of Madras’ was his last book. Known for his passion for music, Randor also wrote the lyrics for the ‘Love Is Fine Darling’ soundtrack in the Tamil movie Thavapudhalvan
