Q Cinemas is showing in one of their smallest screen. So let us wait for a better option.
If quality can be compromised and want to feel mass, there is Pushpanjali in KR Puram which opened booking just now.

After a long hiatus, Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan will be
seen on the big screen to do what he does best and fans are
more than excited to catch Uttama Villain, first day first
show.
Serving as a proof to confirm moviegoers' attraction
towards the movie, a report has claimed that a mammoth
9000 tickets have already been sold ever since the advance
booking option was made available.
Claiming that no other Tamil cinema has achieved this feat,
it is being said that Uttama Villain could well turn out to be
the most anticipated Tamil film ever worldwide.
Going by the current rate, the Kamal Haasan starrer could
be on its way to profit even before its release which happens
seldom in our country.
Many places like Dubai and the United States are gearing up
for the premier shows which will take place after the sun set
on April 30th.
Many theatres will also present its audience with English
subtitles which would definitely attract people who are not
familiar with Tamil.
Meanwhile, it is widely reported that Kamal Haasan's
upcoming film set to be shot in Mauritius will start rolling
from May 15th onwards.
The film has Trisha, playing Kamal's love interest and
Prakash Raj in an important role. It is said that the film will
comprise of a story which unfolds overnight and hence aptly
titled, Ore Iravu .

I understand. I guess this has always been the case for the mid west. The mid west does seem to get lesser attention to that of CA and TX from the distributors. Enna panradhu...

[nickraman]

Tickets and Schedules are yet to be updated in PA.

NC as well .. planning to do a 6:30 Friday if possible.

[pamrang]

NJ yen midwest le sekkareenga? I thought North east laam eppavume have big release.....

[Adox]

I think many NE locations except bigger metros like DC, NY, Boston, Atlanta etc have not updated their theater listings. But will mostly open tomorrow or by latest Friday.

[nickraman]

Yennai arindhaal didnt activate ticks till wed afternoon i think for premieres on thurs. Am hoping the same for UV.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

I meant both NE and mid west. my bad...I am not sure about the big releases though....I feel they are definitely not on par with TX or CA...At the end of the day I guess it's all down to logistics.....

I expect same hype for VR2 and more.

the best thing is .. people know that this is a 2.52 hours long class movie, with kamal playing his age .. they know its going to be emotional .. right expectations are set here .. but namma makkal polambittu irunthaanga ..

still, kanchana2 is goin rock solid and in its 3rd week it will roughly give a 70% share to theatre owners .. but the new release uttama villain will give only 40% or less .. thats the problem here.. theatre guys can simply carry on minting money with kanchana2 without any additional investment that they have to put on UV .. and EROS' recent track record is a well known mega disaster .. but for these reasons, our theatre list would have been terrific like Vishwaroopam across TN .. now also, its very good for a medium budget class movie ..

[nickraman]

And not being a big budget movie, if UV can manage double ROI, I'd call that a success. Nowhere I expect it to make Vishwaroopam level of collection or even Dasa for that matter.

[madhus369]

I think it is being too paranoid to worry about Kanchana 2 etc. If that is really the case, this movie doesn't deserve the publicity. One can trust KH to have a better clout than K2.

The real challenge is from the likes of Avengers (releasing in the US now), OKK (carrying over strongly) and even Gabbar (Ramana remake). In the local theaters, they have announced timings and screens for Gabbar and still no news on UV. Very few screens/theaters left that host Tamil movies after K2, Gabbar and OKK having taken up the bunch of them.

pushpak....did u get insider info abt UV. confident ah irukingale

[kumarsr]

RKFI, please take note for future ventures. Hire PR guys (use the Nanda brothers from Mumbai (shankar uses them for his films of late)).

I expect same hype for VR2 and more.

With the kind of issues every KH movie faces (religious groups & lawsuits, financial etc.) professional PR guys will not make much difference.

Really!? US showtimes indicates only 2hr 16 min...
And, as for the age, that seems to be an error... neither role is like a 60 yo... at least from the posters and the trailers.

Thundu Pottachi.............
Online reservations opened here in Roswell , Akash Cinemas (Metro Atlanta area). Thursday 06.30 pm

Could not get the Premier show of 5.30 pm though.
watching First day of a movie after several years.

Going with lower expectations similar to fellow hubbers Venkkiram, Anban, Radiochandra, irir and others.

if the movie turned out to be a class + Mass appeal genre like thevar magan then will watch at least a few times in theatres in other decent screens as well.

On a side note , any hubbers representing the GATS area watching the movie on Thursday or before sunday ?


Let us celebrate the mood and wish goodluck for a great run

[suivipa]

A bunch of Jokers getting media attention for the first time.
This time the Political wands cannot make it . So called Hinduism upholding parties all have dwindled after last election with a clear wash out and they have nothing much to say like sandiyar saga or for that matter thevar samacharam!!!!
One day they can show their faces on television , free episode and with higher TRPs......... clowns of the day.

Nothing was abstract with the prahalada depiction or the Hiranya nadagam. Morons take the online/one word to brude and paint bigger pictures..............
we should just ignore and move on

[suivipa]

you nailed it h_h

I still know that Kamal is the King of opening both with mass + class.

Vetri Vizha was one such opening I witnessed in Bangalore in the late 80s. Not to mention SKV, Kakki Sattai, Nayagan, even Japannil Kalyanaraman opened in several screens during its release. Those days the theatre owners and exhibitors had a nexus and would not reveal the actual collections nor did they keep count of tickets sold. we had over flow crowd watching movie at the side ways , doors were kept open and all across crowd watch and would give a feeling there would be a stampede if things went out of control.
I still remember the screen tore when they tossed hundreds of coins at Lakshmi theatre near ulsoor (halasuru now). I witnessed a fabulous opening for "Chanakyan" as well and this time it was Sree theatre just opposite to Lakshmi. Pallavi , Urvashi, Nataraj , Lavanya used to sell out for almost 3 to 4 days of the opening week only with advance booking starting with Balcony, upper and middle seats and left open just the few rows of front seats which was anyways a fraction of the revenue. only later for a few years Super star ruled the roost with Post Dalapathi, Annamalai. It was only Kamal movies that crossed 100 days on probably a hundred occasions. Several of kamals Telugu ventures have done 100 days at Urvashi and pallavi . Come on ! who else has such a record in India with multi languages and all the territories .

I bet no one can come close to him

Its right timing..initial target for any movie trailer is for their fans..And by this time with UV releasing tommorrow kamal fans will be active to know each and every news about kamalhaasan..so all the kamal fans will watch Papanasam trailer,producers are smart here..

More than anything .... it indicates a june release. Ore iravu launch in hyderabad on may 25.

I know ppl like you dont expect papanasam but its going to be sure winner among family audience..June is the right time considering shcool re-opens and very less movies will be released with no big releases as well..even though school re-opens its not exam time..perfect time..

Aalavanthaan is a Good movie, with great Music & visual effects (except balloon jump), Aalavanthaan(2001) had better Visual effects then Dasavathaaram which came in 2008...

Uttama Villain trimmed a day ahead of its release

A day ahead of its worldwide release on May 1, Kamal Haasan-starrer Tamil drama Uttama Villain has been trimmed, as per an industry source.

"The original running time was 172 minutes. The makers have trimmed it by a few minutes as they felt the movie is too lengthy," said a source.

The source added that the trimmed version is likely to be played only in Tamil Nadu, while the rest of the world may watch the original version.

Directed by Ramesh Aravind, the film is the story of a superstar, played by Haasan himself.

Kamal will also be seen as an 8th century theatre artiste in the film, which features an ensemble cast of Pooja Kumar, Andrea Jeremiah, Parvathi Nair, Urvashi, K Balachander, K Vishwanath, Nasser and MS Bhaskar.

[PARAMASHIVAN]

Aalavanthaan is a Good movie, with great Music & visual effects (except balloon jump), Aalavanthaan(2001) had better Visual effects then Dasavathaaram which came in 2008...

Agreed !

[Russellbba]

Really!? US showtimes indicates only 2hr 16 min...
And, as for the age, that seems to be an error... neither role is like a 60 yo... at least from the posters and the trailers.

Now, Cineworld (UK) website shows Running time: 135 minutes (2H 15 mins)

Enna aachu? can somebody throw some light :roll:

WoW, first reliable review kind of thing from Khushbu... any way let me control the excitement til tomorrow 6.30 ...

Not to dampen anything but she's not the best reviewer. She has praised a lot of mokka padams .. We have to decide for ourselves. Good luck on your show.

annE , we all agree kamal looks great , and did so through out his career, what has looks got to do with that ? Vikarm , Karthick all nearing "thatha" status soon, they still look good for their age, and yes Rajni looks bad so what ? Are they modelling or acting???

5 theaters in hyderabad tamil UV for the weekend. Its a record. Previous highest was 3.

that was for Vishwaroopam?

Shabba !! yunnuma..raajja why unneccessarily posting about rajni..your 1st two lines is good but what is the need for 3rd & 4th..
lets enjoi without troubling others..Also anyone can comment about the movie,good or bad,etc but not about the actor..

[nickraman]

Only two movies this year that touched nearly 3 hours of length were I and Yennai Arindhaal.

I was the worst from second half onwards and the makers never bothered to trim unnecessary portions. Theva illama drag pannitan. YA could've trimmed more to make it more racier in second half.

Hoping UV doesn't drag on like Aalavanthaan did in between portions. Fingers crossed.

[Russellbba]

I see almost all our hubbers have tickets for some show tomorrow.

Just curious who would be the first hubber here to view the movie? Considering the first show is at Dubai / Gulf at 10:30PM which is 7 hours from now.

anybody else here who would see it earlier?

Another friend says fantastic. Superb. Confused

[Adox]

No no not giving up! UV above average .. but Papanasam will have a better grip on the audience to be hit/super hit.

[madhus369]

No no not giving up! UV above average .. but Papanasam will have a better grip on the audience to be hit/super hit.

From the trailer, it looks like the accent will be the difference. And, whether Gouthami can come close to Meena in that role... Scenes seem to be exactly the same as Drishyam.

[radiochandra1977]

Please lets shift papanasam discussion to padmabhushan thread

99% of TN makkal including myself have not seen drishyam .. Will open up with Papanasam .. Definitely looking forward to it.

[nickraman]

As expecting people who dont like leisurely paced films will be let down.

2 things come to mind. Either KH needs to make films accessilble and less lengthy (less than 2.5 hrs) because audience patience is wearing thin

Or Audience tastes are changing and perhaps VOD, streaming is way to go.

Have you seen the movie and then commenting that the audience will be let down??
If the movie is engaging enough, the length should not be a problem. The biggest blockbusters of all time are also among the longest (Avatar and Titanic!).

Nope will not agree .. doesnt matter if the movie is lengthy or moves slowly. The movie watchers should stay focused/revieted throughout. Wouldnt have cared if VR was any lengthier.

Some people from dupaai are giving such feedback. Acting laam kekka venaam. But pacing is definetly an issue based off feedback from twitter.

If lingu baai asked to trim prior release, that itself is not very encouraging. My point is that people are expecting more from Papanaasam than this because of less interference from KH.

Ok. understood. Movie might still be ok.. waiting for reviews tomorrow... (meanwhile, Papanasam script... Drishyam.. is so tight that no one can screw that up).

[nickraman]

Aana its remake. And i dunno if overseas people will watch seeing that many have seen Drishyam with subtitle. Def do not seeing it releasing in dubai as mallu population is more and all will say lal is best, et. all.

Based on feedback so far acting ,performances from the cast have been appreciated, the one thing that has been mentioned by some is the pacing, also did Lingu trim the movie before release?

[Adox]

Aana its remake. And i dunno if overseas people will watch seeing that many have seen Drishyam with subtitle. Def do not seeing it releasing in dubai as mallu population is more and all will say lal is best, et. all.

Remains to be seen. But what is %% of overall gross by overseas and North India ? Hardly 10-15 %. Telugu, Kannada, Hindi ruled out since they have/will have made their own remake. So its primarily TN ... A movie with a much smaller budget and tightly knit, it has good chances of becoming a superhit.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Just got know from a friend who had to gone to Woodlands that they are removing the hoardings and the banners. It is highly doubtful if UV would have a run at all today. (according to him)

[ramdas2005]

Thx Arvind, venki for the review, how was the crowd response or word of mouth

[kumarsr]

Classic...albeit a bit slow at times

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Thx Arvind, venki for the review, how was the crowd response or word of mouth

Crowdnnu ethaathu iruntha thaane...Dinner table iruntha alavukku thaan inga crowdu...They were non existent ...absolute silence throughout....The only person who was giving out some semblance that he was alive during the course of the movie is the one whose post you're reading.....

[Dinesh84]

Went for morning 8 am show at PVR chennai.. But got cancelled.. Utterly disappointed.. :(

[Dinesh84]

[ufktrfKnicity]

#UttamaVillain, Morning shows cancelled, as financial issues between producers and financiers r still being sorted out.

இந்த எதிர்பார்ப்புகளை குறைந்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள், 5க்கு 3.75 மதிப்பெண்கள், ஓடுமா ஓடாதா, அங்கே தொய்வு இங்கே தொய்வு போன்ற இத்யாதிகளையெல்லாம் பழுதென நினைத்து தாண்டிச் செல்லுங்கள். உத்தமவில்லன் அவை அனைத்திற்கும் அப்பாற்பட்டது. திரையுலகில் ஒரு சரித்திரம். பாத்திரங்கள், அவைகளுக்கேற்ற கலைஞர் தேர்வுகள், படைப்பில் ஒவ்வொரு பாத்திரத்திற்கும் கொடுக்கப்பட்ட இடம், நிஜத்திலும் கனவிலும் மாறி மாறி பயணிக்கும் திரைக்கதை, நிஜத்திற்கும் கனவிற்கும் தொடர்புடைய முடிச்சிகள், உணர்வு பூர்வமான வசனங்கள், நேர்த்தியான சிரிப்பு வெடிகள், அரங்கு அமைப்பு, கேமரா, எடிட்டிங், இயக்கம் எல்லாமே சிறப்புடன் ஒன்றுகூடி தலைவாழை விருந்து படைத்திருக்கிறது. உத்தமவில்லன் கமலின் படைப்புகளில் மிகவும் முக்கியமானது.

In the refund queue at cinepolis, Bangalore. Kanchana screaming at my ears through the closed Audi 3.

[ajaybaskar]

Heard from hubber Venkiraja that PVR has refused to refund the amount and has asked the people to watch Vai Raja Vai. Kodumaiye..

[joe]

Can you elaborate.PM if it cannot be posted in the open forum

Absolute Nonsense the whole damn thing is.Last minute taking everyone by surprise and the worst part is no one even knows what the heck is the issue.

Now special shows and Morning show cancelled.

Hope things are sorted out for the 2nd show.

Pushpak and CR,where are you ??

Pushpak,your number has changed I guess.wanted to check with you if the 6.30 show was on earlier today ?

[Cinefan]

Thanks Nasc.Lot fo Good words everywhere though there are - ve comments also.

So the overseas release has not been affected.

Can't help but ask(cos' it is important for his future projects),how will this do at the BO ?

[venkkiram]

படமே வெளிவராமால் போனாலும் சரி.. இன்னும் ஐம்பது வருடம் கழித்து கூட வெளியிடுங்கள். உதமவில்லனின் உன்னத தன்மை ஒரு சதவீதம்கூட கெடாது. வணிகவியாபாரிகளுக்கும் கலாபூர்வமான படைப்பிற்கும் ஒரு சம்பந்தமுமில்லை. உண்மையிலேயே சாகாவரம் பெற்றவன் உத்தமன்.

Venki

At this stage of his career, success of this movie is so important. Will it become hit?

[Cinefan]

V.Ram,

What you say is true but he needs his film's to work(maybe not big time but enough to keep people interested and invested)to continue making good stuff.

So I am indeed curious to know how the audience responded.

Have a 10 pm ticket for tomorrow,after reading many positive views,need to catch up on the film fast.

Hope issues are sorted out at the earliest.

[cm123]

Venkiram, if you say it is Kamal's brilliant work? It is an insult to Kamal. We may continue to discuss on this later once all hubbers watch this movie.

[venkkiram]

Venki

ஓடுமா ஓடாதா என்ற எண்ணங்களுக்கே நான் செல்லவில்லை. கமல் ஒரு படைப்பாளியாய், நடிகனாய் ரசிகர்களை உயரத்திற்கு அழைத்துச் சென்றிருக்கிறார். அதில் மட்டும்தான் மனம் குவிந்திருக்கிறது. ஒவ்வொரு ரசிகனுக்குள்ளும் ஒரு தீபம் அணையாமல் எரிந்துகொண்டிருக்கிறது. இப்படத்தின் மூலம் கமல் அத்தீபத்திற்கு எண்ணெயையும், பிராணவாயுவினையும் அள்ளித் தந்திருக்கிறார்.

[cm123]

Problem resolved. Go from next show.

[Cinefan]

Two extreme views.

But yes,any discussions can happen only by Monday,hopefully.

[Cinefan]

Thank you cm123 :)
