Nithiin: Sye and Ishq, twin peaks eight years apart

Twenty-seven films since 2002, and the two best-rated share the same mark — Sye at 7.4 in 2004 and Ishq at 7.4 in 2012. Fourteen of the twenty-seven carry an audience large enough to rate.

Sye in 2004 was the second film and remains joint-best in the record. What follows is a long stretch in which very little reached that level again until Ishq eight years later.

Twenty-seven films across twenty-three years at an average of 5.24 — the lowest of any Telugu actor in this section, though the sample of rated titles is small enough that it describes the middle of the record more than its edges.
