Top-notch music director V Dakshinamurthy, who composed music for hundreds of film songs in Malayalam and other southern languages over the last seven decades, died here today, industry sources said.

He was 94 and was keeping indifferent health for some time. He breathed his last at his residence in Mylapore.

Endearingly called as "Swamy" by the film fraternity and his fans, Dakshinamurthy's songs stood out on account of their classical touch.

The singers who rendered songs for him include K J Yesudas, P Suseela, Jayachandran and P Leela.
