The Manobala & Vidyasagar partnership

Abhiyum Naanum is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Thambi (2006).
The shape of the work
The 2000s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Abhiyum Naanum; the 2010s to Siruthai. Never on the same side of the camera — Manobala actor, Vidyasagar music composer, across all 4 films. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.

The 2010s accounted for 1 film, averaging 6.2/10.
