Some onscreen pairings have become so iconic that they are synonymous with "Hit Relationships":

Tamil cinema is finally learning that a great romantic storyline doesn't need a flower garden. It needs a real garden—with weeds, thorns, and the occasional rain to wash away the mistakes. And the audience, it turns out, has always been ready to pay for that truth.
