The brothers came out of nowhere to take the
Tamil film industry by storm. Between the
two of them they elevated the street rat to
a level of respectability that was hitherto
unheard of in this industry. In movies like
Thulluvadho Ilamai, Kadhal Kondaen, and Pudhupettai,
Selva made typical losers people turn their
faces away from, the protagonists in his films
and Dhanush brought them to life and somehow
made them if not endearing at least interesting
and more importantly human beings albeit highly
flawed ones.
There can be little doubt that the brothers
bring out the best in each other and we are
waiting to see Irandam Ulagam their next film
together.
