Which is the best on screen pair that you can remember? No
doubt, many will say Kamal Haasan-Sridevi, Sivaji-Padmini or MGR-Saroja
Devi. Yes, these are legendary screen pairs, but we are not talking about
them. We are looking at those young pairs of our times that have made a big
impact, that have managed to look like the perfect couple on screen, those who
have managed to leave an impression in our hearts.
Let’s take a look at the most lovable screen romances
of recent times.
Pair: Arya and Pooja
Film: Oram Po
Though they have done four movies together, this is perhaps
their most effective combination to date. The film was not a big hit, but it
did manage to generate positive vibes. Their relationship was not the normal
hero-heroine type. It was in fact crass romance; somewhere it appealed very
much to the audience. The sparkling chemistry in the movie also started off
some very strong rumors regarding the lead pair.
Pair: Vikram and Trisha
This was admiration turning into romance. Not the youthful
college kind of romance, but something that had more depth to it. The
combination worked really well, especially in the songs. Trisha appeared both
as the young possessive lover and the understanding wife in different phases of
the movie. Both of them were well portrayed. In fact, it had such an impact
that Trisha was referred to as ‘Mami’ by a section of the
fans and media for quite some time.
Pair: Vijay and Trisha
Film: Ghilli
This was one classic case where love is left unexpressed
dangerously till the climax. We knew that the heroine wouldn’t fly
leaving the hero behind, but there was sense of apprehension in the final
moments before Trisha finally appeared. Love that goes untold and unknown has a
charm that connects instantly to a large section of the people. The audience
empathize with the tongue tied lover who is not able to open his heart or who
realized too late that the feeling he had in his heart was love indeed.
Pair: Madhavan and Shalini
Film: Alai Paayuthey
Mani Ratnam romances are special to watch. The
relationships that he depicts have so much depth that one wants to live the
life of the on screen characters. ‘Alai Paayuthe’ was
no different. A software techie-doctor pair is not very common; in fact, it is
almost non-existent (pardon if there are any real life couples). But it looked
so real in the movie. They way they met and then fell in love were pure joy to
watch. Rahman’s romantic tunes made the love story even more
endearing.
Pair: Ajith and Devayani
Film: Kadhal kottai
This was not about the lead pair’s chemistry, in fact
they do not meet for most part of the film. That was the factor that set apart
this romance. This started off a trend of sorts of relationships that developed
irrespective of distance and other barriers. The fancy of such an
unconventional romance remained in the audience heart for a while.
Pair: Vijay and Shalini
Film: Kadhalukku Mariyadhai
This is perhaps the most celebrated love story of our times.
A beautiful tale of two people who are made for each other but resist their
feelings for the sake of their families. But, love, especially if destined in
one’s life, will happen. No matter what the circumstances are. The movie
stated in a very cute way that true love will always get its due from the
family and society, it will never go unrecognized. The film created a huge
impact among the youngsters, so much so that they names of the lead characters
in the film – Jeeva and Mini – remain etched in the
memories.
