The Ilavarasu & Yuvan Shankar Raja partnership

Remarkably even — every film rates between 6.3 and 6.8. After 8 years apart, they came back together for Chennai 600028 II: Second Innings (2016). Their work runs across 3 decades of Tamil cinema.

They didn't share a set between 2008 and 2016. From Pudhiya Geethai (2003) to Kalathil Santhippom (2021).

The shape of the work
