The Anandaraj & Deva partnership
They saved their best for last — Engal Anna (6.5/10) came 14 years in. 1995 was their peak — 3 films in twelve months. For 14 years, a Anandaraj–Deva film arrived almost every year.
The work is uneven: Engal Anna (6.5) at one end, Krodham 2 (1.0) at the other. From Namma Ooru Poovatha (1990) to Engal Anna (2004).
The shape of the work
The 1990s account for 79% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Abhimanyu; the 2000s to Engal Anna. Anandaraj acted in every film; Deva scored all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
19 films across 2 decades
The 1990s accounted for 15 films, averaging 4.1/10.
The 2000s accounted for 4 films, averaging 3.9/10.
