Not everything was dark. This decade also perfected the "boy next door" romance. Autograph (2004) by Cheran was a soft, melancholic look at a man reuniting with his past loves. But the real explosion came in 2006 with Veyil (directed by Vasanthabalan) and Mozhi (2007). Mozhi , starring Prithviraj and Jyothika, was a quiet masterpiece about a musician falling in love with a deaf-mute woman. It had no fights, no villains, no village. Just conversations. It made over 20 crores—proving that subtlety had a market. tamil movies from 2000 to 2010
