The Selvaraghavan & Arvind Krishna partnership
After 15 years apart, they came back together for Nenjam Marappathillai (2021). They didn't share a set between 2006 and 2021. From Thulluvadho Ilamai (2002) to Naane Varuven (2021).
Kadhal Kondein (2003, 7.7/10) is the underseen one in the catalogue. Pudhupettai is the one most viewers reach for.
The shape of the work

Never on the same side of the camera — Selvaraghavan director, Arvind Krishna director of photography, across all 6 films. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
6 films across 2 decades

The 2020s accounted for 2 films, averaging 6.3/10.
