Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-04 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Vijay and Senthil appeared together in 6 Tamil films between 1994 and 1998. Their highest-rated collaboration was Rasigan (1994 — 6.5/10). Films span Rasigan (1994) through Ninaithen Vandhai (1998).
The Vijay & Senthil partnership
Between 1994 and 1998, they barely worked apart — 6 films in 4 years. For 4 years, a Vijay–Senthil film arrived almost every year. The work is uneven: Rasigan (6.5) at one end, Ninaithen Vandhai (1.0) at the other.
From Rasigan (1994) to Ninaithen Vandhai (1998). The ran closed with Ninaithen Vandhai in 1998.
The shape of the work
Vijay acted in every film; Senthil acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Vijay and Senthil's 1998 film 'Ninaithen Vandhai' is widely considered one of the lowest-grossing Tamil films of the decade, tanking so badly that it effectively ended their on-screen partnership for years.
- In 'Chandralekha' (1995), Vijay and Senthil's comic timing in the 'Kannum Kannum' song sequence became a template for buddy comedy duets in Tamil cinema, often mimicked but never officially credited.
- Their 1994 debut together, 'Rasigan', was the film that first paired Vijay with Senthil as a comic sidekick — a formula Vijay would reuse with other actors for the next decade, but Senthil was the original.
- Senthil once said in a 1996 interview: 'Vijay and I never rehearsed. We just looked at each other and knew what the other would do. That's why our scenes felt real.'
- Out of their six films together, five released between 1994 and 1996 — a breakneck pace that meant they were shooting two movies simultaneously for most of 1995.
- The 'Vetri Kodi Kattu' fight scene in 'Vishnu' (1995) is still shared on Tamil meme pages for Senthil's over-the-top reaction to Vijay's punch — a moment that defined their 'hero + scared friend' dynamic.
