One more excellent review from AKM-
AKM'S INNER VOICE & REVIEWS.
MY WORD ON ‘UTTAMA VILLAIN
Posted on May 3, 2015 by UrsfrndlyAKM
Even before watching the movie, I decided to refrain myself from writing review on UTTAMA VILLIAN.
Only for the reason that I openly admitted my obsession towards it and incase I like it, people would see it as a biased review for sure.
Now, after watching it, I changed my mind. Again, not to review it but for a totally different reason.
For that matter, I kindly advise you NOT to follow anyone’s review. Don’t even read a single review. Not because this movie doesn’t require ratings or reviews and is a Masterpiece (A masterpiece to me, may not be to you), but because this is NOT a movie. To put it in a better way I will borrow Director Aravind words.
“You won’t feel like you are watching a movie. It’s something like you became invisible and you are secretly watching and travelling with the protagonist”.
Cant find any other words to convey that experience. And in this travelling, you get a wonderful opportunity to see KB Garu come Live infront of you and watch him in his true self.
Having said it is not a movie and asking you not to read and decide about watching it, Please don’t do it even if it’s a Positive review. It hinders your watching experience. And here’s WHY not to go by the review.
They may call it soul stirring & heart-wrenching. And while watching it, while your friend next to you might weep at places because of getting emotionally connected to it, you would scratch your head.
In short, your friend may Love it and you may Hate it. Make out all Perm & Combination out of this statement. Because that’s how it is.
My reason for not writing review is straight and simple : If I like a movie, I would influence people and try my level best to make them watch. This won’t work for UV. You must feel the movie yourself to love it. Love the sheer brilliance of Kamal Sir in weaving and blending the story in a story. His expression in every frame. His Classic dance. His emotions. The musical narration. The way he delivered an Underlying message(s) with Subtlety. And what not.
Now don’t fall prey to my words. On watching it you may curse me for praising a movie, which you might feel as a Rod.
Said that, Incase, you are interested in watching it, here’s my piece of advice:
– This is not a movie for timepass or Entertainment. Watch it with Zero expectations. Just feel that Kamal Sir took you into his world and try enjoying his company emoting to whatever see and without feeling it as compulsion.
There’s no harm in wasting 3 hours at the cost of 150Rs to witness this LEGEND’s brainchild project when we have watched countless Duds every now & then. Give it a try. If it fails to impress you, plan to watch Ganga after it to get the Entertainment you wished for. But by chance, if you love it, it will remain as a Lifetime memory and you cant stop yourself from loving him even more.
This is it. I have said more than enough. Now take your call.
One last word, because I didn’t write a review I spoke only and only about Kamal Sir. And this implies nothing. Each and every character you see on screen have matched Kamal Sir. And this lines means everything. Wish KB Garu watched UV.
Thank you for reading my word on Uttama Villain.
Regards, AKM.
