Naam Iruvar Namakku Iruvar (We Two, For Us Two) is a 2018 Indian Tamil television series which premiered on Star Vijay and streams on Disney+ Hotstar. The first season followed the story of twin brothers Mayan and Aravind, both played by Mirchi Senthil. Then, the second season followed a different pair of twins: Mayan and Maaran, again played by Senthil.

The first season starred Senthil Kumar, Raksha Holla and Rashmi Jayraj. The second season stars Senthil Kumar, Rachitha Mahalakshmi, Monisha Arshak and Bavithra.^[1][2]

Identical twin brothers Aravind and Mayan are separated soon after birth; Aravind is given to a childless couple and raised in the city, and Mayan remains with his family in the village. Aravind learns that he was adopted, and sets out to meet his real parents and twin brother thirty years later. Sandhanapandi has been married twice. He has three children (Devi, Karthik and Vidhya) with his first wife, Valli, and a daughter (Thamarai) with Parvathy, his second wife.

A marriage is arranged between Aravind and Devi, but Aravind is kidnapped a few days before the wedding by Machakkalai, Parvathy's brother. He and Parvathy want to take revenge on Sandhanapandi by having Aravind marry Thamarai instead. Mayan assumes Aravind's identity and marries Devi, and Aravind is forced to marry Thamarai. Thamarai is not accepted by her mother-in-law, Gowri, and Mayan is not accepted by Devi's family. However, both make their respective spouses love them. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the season's production was forced to shut down on 26 March 2020.

Twin brothers Mayan and Maaran are separated at birth; their parents separate, and his mother leaves with Maaran. Mayan is angry with his father, Raja Rathinam, because he marries Naachiyar. He leaves the house and is raised by his uncle, Rathinavel, for over 25 years. Mayan falls in love with his cousin Mahalakshmi (Maha), a straightforward teacher who is Rathinavel's daughter. She dislikes him, despite Rathinavel's support.

Maha becomes engaged to Surya. Mayan tries to stop the wedding, succeeding when Surya's father incurs a large gambling debt. Rathinavel has a second heart attack, and refuses surgery. His doctor asks Maha and Mayan to keep him calm for a year, and Mayan convinces Maha to be happy with her.
