Last updated: 2026-06-02 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Yogi Babu and Jangiri Madhumitha appeared together in 13 Tamil films between 2011 and 2024. Their highest-rated collaboration was Attakathi (2012 — 8.0/10). Films span Thoonga Nagaram (2011) through Boat (2024).
The Yogi Babu & Jangiri Madhumitha partnership
2021 was their peak — 3 films in twelve months. For 13 years, a Yogi–Jangiri film arrived almost every year. From Thoonga Nagaram (2011) to Boat (2024).
Boat (2024, 8.0/10) is the underseen one in the catalogue. Their most recent film, Boat, came out in 2024 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 62% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Attakathi; the 2020s to Boat. Yogi Babu acted in every film; Jangiri Madhumitha acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- They first met on the set of Attakathi (2012), but neither had a single scene together. Yogi Babu played a small role as a friend, while Madhumitha was the lead actress. They only properly acted together three films later in Hello Naan Pei Pesuren (2016).
- In Mohini (2018), Yogi Babu’s deadpan delivery made Madhumitha break character so often that the director had to shoot her close-ups separately. She later said his timing was 'impossible to match without laughing.'
- Their pairing in Viswasam (2019) — where they played a bickering couple — directly inspired the comedy track in the 2022 film Gulu Gulu. The writer admitted in an interview that he wanted 'that same chaotic energy' between a short, loud man and a tall, calm woman.
- On the sets of Bayam Oru Payanam (2016), Yogi Babu and Madhumitha started a running bet: whoever flubbed a line first had to buy the other a box of murukku. By the end of the shoot, Madhumitha owed him 14 boxes.
- Madhumitha once said in a 2019 radio interview: 'Yogi doesn't act with you — he acts at you. You just have to survive and not laugh. I failed at that for five films straight.'
