Senthil and Vidyasagar appeared together in 12 Tamil films between 1990 and 2003. Their highest-rated collaboration was Vedham (2001 — 7.5/10). Films span Pudhiya Sarithiram (1990) through Iyarkai (2003).
The Senthil & Vidyasagar partnership
They saved their best for last — Vedham (7.5/10) came 11 years in. 1995 was their peak — 3 films in twelve months. For 13 years, a Senthil–Vidyasagar film arrived almost every year.
The work is uneven: Vedham (7.5) at one end, Nethaji (2.8) at the other. From Pudhiya Sarithiram (1990) to Iyarkai (2003).
The shape of the work
The 1990s account for 83% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Pudhayal; the 2000s to Vedham. Senthil acted in every film; Vidyasagar scored all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.

The 2000s brought 2 films together, anchored by Vedham (7.5/10).
