The A. P. Nagarajan & Sri Vijayalakshmi Pictures partnership

Remarkably even — every film rates between 7.5 and 8.6. Between 1964 and 1972, they barely worked apart — 5 films in 8 years. From Navarathri (1964) to Agathiyar (1972).

Agathiyar (1972, 7.5/10) is the underseen one in the catalogue. Thiruvilaiyadal is the one most viewers reach for.

The shape of the work

The 1960s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 1960s belonged to Thiruvilaiyadal; the 1970s to Agathiyar. A. P. Nagarajan directed every film; Sri Vijayalakshmi Pictures produced all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
