Tamil Cinema's Perfect Hero-Comedian Chemistry

One of the most important ingredients for the commercial hit of a Big Hero film is undoubdtedly the chemistry between the hero and the comedian which ensures that the audiences stay long enough to watch the rest of the story. Here we take a look at some of the best humor pairs in Tamil Cinema who have made life lighter for the fans with the laughs they have provided.

Sivaji Ganesan - Nagesh

A classic combo in every sense of the word. Its a delightful treat for any Tamil cinema fan to watch and re-watch the immortal Dharumi vs Lord Shiva altercation scene in 'Thiruvilayadal'. The way Sivaji Ganesan and Nagesh play off each other in the famous scene stands as evidence for the impeccable chemistry that the two had in many more films, notably, 'Vietnam Veedu', 'Gowravam', 'Moondru Deivangal', 'Galatta Kalyanam', and 'Thillana Mohanambal', just to name a few. The Sivaji- Nagesh legacy will no doubt live on for many more times to come.

Rajinikanth - Senthil

Senthil enjoyed the second best chemistry in his career with Superstar Rajinikanth and the two had a field day in films like 'Velaikaaran', 'Manithan', 'Veera', 'Arunachalam' and 'Padayappa'. The most memorable scenes are the temple scenes in 'Veera' where Rajini and Senthil bring the house down when they try to outwit both Meena and Roja, the two wives of Rajini. Senthil plays a bigger superstar than Rajini in 'Arunachalam' and the bride seeking scene in 'Padaiyappa' are the highlights of this combo.

Kamal Haasan - Janagaraj

'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan mostly takes care of the comedy himself in his movies. But, the one actor with whom he shared a wonderful chemistry is undoubtedly Janagaraj in films like 'Thoongathey Thambi Thoongathey', 'Oru Kaithiyin Diary', 'Uyarntha Ullam', 'Vikram', 'Nayagan', 'Apoorva Sagodharargal' and 'Guna' among others. The wonderful relationship between Velu Nayakkar and Selvam in 'Nayagan', the cat and mouse game between Inspector Janagaraj and Raja Kamal in 'Apoorga Sagodharargal' and the drug peddler Janagaraj and Guna Kamal Haasan in 'Guna' make this combo a hot favorite.

Sathyaraj - Goundamani

This combo always delivers laugh a minute scenes in all the films they have worked together and special mention is due to ones like 'Rikshaw Maama', 'Nadigan', 'Pudhu Manithan', 'Brahma', 'Thirumathi Palaniswamy', 'Thaimaman', 'Maman Magal' and the list is endless. Goundamani as Korangu Kannayiram who torments Sathyaraj in 'Nadigan' and the pair who con Jayachithra in 'Maman Magal' which results in Goundamani losing his hearing is a riot even to this day.

Parthiban - Vadivelu

It all started with Parthiban asking the meaning of the word 'Kundakka Mandakka' in Cheran's 'Bharathi Kanamma' and the partnership went on to rock in 'Vettri Kodi Kattu', 'Unnarugil Naan Irundhaal' and 'Kundakka Mandakka' among others. The Tom and Jerry routine that Parthiban plays with Dubai returned Vadivelu in 'Vettri Kodi Kattu' is played again and again in all comedy channels even now.

Vijay - Vadivelu

This combo is such a hit that one wishes that they come together again to delight. Vijay and Vadivelu have rocked the screens in films like 'Friends', 'Bhagavathi', 'Vaseegara', 'Madhurey', 'Sachein', 'Pokkiri', 'Villu', 'Sura' and 'Kavalan'. Body Soda vs Pokkiri and Sachein vs Aiyaasaamy are a scream, but in all the movies they have worked together, Vijay and Vadivelu sure scorch the screens.

Ajith - Vivekh

Ajith and Vivekh gave fans some hearty laughs in films like 'Kadhal Mannan', 'Vaali', 'Mugavaree', 'Kreedam', and 'Yennai Arindhaal'. Ajith and Vivekh share great chemistry off-screen too and they recently rocked together after a long gap in 'Yennai Arindhaal'.

Suriya - Karunaas

It can be safely said that both Suriya and Karunaas's careers took off with the same film 'Nanda' and the two continued their top form in 'Pithamagan' and recently 'Massu Engira Massilamani'.

Arya - Santhanam

Every time Arya and Santhanam appear on screen togethe,r the audiences laugh for two hours non-stop and the producer laughs all the way to the bank. Their performances have so many give and takes between them that if there is an award for the best bromance, it can be
