Found the lines where the villagers suffocate to death seeing Uthaman floating on the waters, quite funny (LoL). Also, the twisty lyrics, (my favourites) :
Uthamanin Oola Kural, Ooruku Villanga Villai
AA Endru Alarinarai, Agapai Thanagam Kondavargal
Pudhu Yugam Pidari Thodar, Sitnoora Sithari Odinare
Avarul Adum Magamey kuthadum, Uthamanai Pey endradhu
Another one :
Uthaman Pizhaitha Kathai, Pagutharivalargalukku Vilangi Vidum
Avaril Ullavargal, Anthathor Awooril Yarum Illai
Pey aana Uthaman aanmawin santhiku (LoL) ...
Thaan Thithi Virunduku Thaaney Vantha, Vedhi Nontha Uthaman => (Lovely, what a sattire !)
And I have a question :
Its said he cheated death 5 times, but I can capt only 3 (Snake bite, Stick-Hit (LoL) & Drowning). Are the other 2 mentioned in anyother track or did I miss them already ?
omg mappi :clap:..are we supposed to listen to this level?!
sambalam illaamal aadum,
ambalam Nataraajaa :lol:
Yeah that one and also the one Nasc said ... LoL

all hollywood movies adopts the same old tech of live recording..whats ur say about that? as i said before, if supported by sophisticated equipments, doing that is not a old thing.
Superb Mappi, this type of discussion and interpretation makes me look forward to the film, i guess the musical(8th century) part is beginining to look more and more interesting.Quote:

this is also related to Vishnu avatar..
Vishwaroopam has bit of virata parva and 10A has many references related to God story..
Being a atheist its incredible how he mixes god epic story with current story and talking about his philosophical/atheistical views as well..gr8 talent..
There is diff..Pushpak is feel good film with simple story line very easy to understand but heyram is very complex..Quote:

Talk about Live Sound....
'Kamal Haasan has left me baffled many times'
http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/...s/20150305.htm
Kunal Rajan is the most sought-after sound designer in Tamil cinema.
Born and raised in Pondicherry, Kunal graduated in sound design from Singapore, then moved to Los Angeles for a career in Hollywood.
Kunal has collaborated with A R Rahman and Resul Pookutty in Shankar’s Endhiren, Murugadoss’s Hindi remake of Ghajini and Akshay Kumar’s Blue.
He collaborated with Kamal Haasan for Vishwaroopam and most recently, for Haasan’s forthcoming film, Uttama Villain, directed by Ramesh Arvind.
He spoke to Rediff.com contributor Praveen Sundaram from Los Angeles via Skype about his career in Hollywood, Uttama Villain and collaborating with Craig Mann, who recently won an Oscar for Whiplash.
How did you start your career in Hollywood?
After I moved to the United States, I started doing on-location sound. After a year of that, I realised that my passion lies in post-production, in sound design and mixing.
I did a course in the US specialising in post-production sound and slowly I started my career as a sound designer.
Was it difficult to find work in the US?
It is very scary to think about it now.
Before I came here, I thought there were Warner Brothers, Universal Studios, Sony and so many companies and I would go to the US and send them my resume with my Bachelor’s degree in sound from Singapore.
I thought it would all be very easy.
Not even one company got back to me.
So, I started with students who were doing their thesis films. Slowly I got into very low budget, independent films. Slowly I began getting good work.
How did you get into mainstream Hollywood?
I worked on short films and small budget films. One person would recommend me to another and my network grew.
I began working on independent films. Some of them were recognised at film festivals and one went to Sundance.
My resume started getting better, with better films and better filmmakers. People started approaching me.
Now I find myself working in films like Jem and The Holograms, which should be out in October this year, directed by Jon M Chu. It’s his next film after GI Joe. It is a very big movie for me. I am very excited.
What about your work with Tamil filmmakers?
Arun Vaidyanathan’s Achchamundu Achchamundu was my first Tamil film. Sometime in 2007-2008, I read an article online that a Tamil filmmaker was making a Tamil film to be shot entirely in the US.
At the time, I was getting better work and had a good team. I contacted Arun through his website and expressed my interest in working with him. That’s how Achchamundu Achchamundu happened.
Technically, I have done only four Tamil films: Achchamundu Achchamundu, Vishwaroopam, R S Prasanna’s Kalyana Samayal Saadham and Saivam. Uttama Villain will be my fifth release.
You were also a part of Ghajini and Endhiran…
I’ve known Resul Pookutty for a while now, even before he won the Oscar. He was doing the foley work (foley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to film, video, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality) for Murugadoss’s Hindi remake of Ghajini.
He wanted to do some part of the work in the US. I helped him with that and also collaborated with him for Endhiren and Blue as a sound editor. I also did a little work in Shah Rukh Khan’s Ra One.
What was it like working with Kamal Haasan?
I was initially concerned about working with such a senior artist and technician. He comes with a lot of experience and has terrific knowledge on every aspect of filmmaking.
I was aware that it was a big budget film and he has high expectations from people he works with.
He made me feel very comfortable and was open to ideas. If you know your job, Kamal will trust you and leave it to you. He collaborated very well, not just with me but my entire crew; they all enjoyed working with him.
Some of them have worked in very big budget Hollywood films like Inception. But they felt that working with Kamal was a different experience because of his knowledge and the experience he brings to the table.
In a particular situation if you don’t know how to go ahead, he would be there. In his mind he knows the solution, but he will let you play around and come up with different possible solutions. Finally, he will tell us to try a particular way, just for the sake of trying and check if that works.
He has left me baffled many times.
Everybody says he is an encyclopedia and he is one, indeed.
Tell us more about your experience of working in Uttama Villain.
Kamal Haasan had narrated Uttama Villain to me while we were working on Vishwaroopam.
I thought it would be a cakewalk. It was only when I watched the first rough cut that I realised what I was getting into. He has done a fantastic job.
One of the biggest challenges was working in two different time zones in two different counties -- India and Los Angeles. Coordinating, getting all the sound files back and forth was very tough. The movie has contemporary portions and also period portions.
All the period portions were challenging because it was not something I had done before.
I had to work carefully without using any modern sounds. We wanted to keep it subtle and enhance the story and keep it as realistic as possible.
Did you visit the shooting spot?
No, but Kamal Haasan used to update me almost every two or three days over the phone. He would tell me about the scenes that he had shot.
I was aware of what was happening and I was always curious to see the final output.
I always watch the first cut like an audience and only from the second viewing I make my notes as a sound engineer.
Was the film shot in live-sound?
No, some of the actors don’t speak the language and most scenes were shot in challenging locations.
The thing with live-sound is when you work partly live and partly dub, it affects the quality of the film.
Kamal Haasan thanked you for putting him in touch with Craig Mann, the sound mixer who worked in Uttama Villain and won an Oscar for Whiplash. How did you guys collaborate? What did Craig Mann think of working in a Tamil film and Kamal Haasan?
I told Craig I was working in an Indian film and looking for a sound mixer to collaborate with.
He replied that he had just finished a small budget musical called Whiplash and if I was inviting him to collaborate for a Bollywood musical, he would love to do it.
I had to tell him that Indian films are not Bollywood films alone; there are multiple regional industries making fantastic films. He was fascinated by how many film industries we have in India.
I then told him about Kamal Haasan. They collaborated really well.
Will you be working in more Indian films?
I am open to working in any language as long as I find the work challenging and the team is good, and it is for people who understand the importance of sound, directors who understand what sound can do to their film.
I have worked in French, Italian and Ethiopian films too.

Its different elsewhere - be it Kate Winslet, or, Cate Blanchett, or, Jessica Chastain - everyone gets a fair share of scripts and screen space - one of the VERY BEST performances I have seen is of Charlize Theron in Monster (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sraDVyksYMs, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCuSh0nGDh0) - I cant think of any male actor's performance matching such intensity in a long time!
of course we are talking about acting as a skill / talent / art - off late, in TFI most ppl just dont act or are trained to do so
பேசும்போது எப்போதும் கரகரவென துருபிடித்த இரும்பு போல காணப்படும் கமலின் குரல் எப்படி பட வசனங்களில், பாடல்களில் மட்டும் பிசிறில்லாமல் ஒலிக்கிறது? பிரமிப்பாக இருக்கும் பல நேரங்களில்.
Also his voice sounds different at different times. I think the stronger voice that he employs at times (which is very different and distinct) is for macho effect and not his real voice or close to it. In very early movies like Arangetram, it would seem like a large nasal effect, as if he is speaking through his nose.
Same doubt..It seems when he is talking casually his voice has some nasal effect..if he puts some effort for emotional scenes or singing its very clear & bold..vera level..Quote:

On the face look, the song just sings about a man who is not wanted neither in the heaven nor in the hell. He is hanging loose tagged as an immortal and he is becoming a never ending Saga. Its not being alive is pain, its undergoing the pain each time you win over the death. Here is Uthaman who is tired now, Saavu Vendi Sethu Kondu Irrukiran - Dying to Die.
Now from Kamal POV, again he fasinates me :
Kaniyar Kaniththa Kanakku Padi Naam
Kanum Ulagu idhu Vatta Pandhaam !?!
Vatta Pandhai Vattamadikkum mattra pandhum !
A 3 line take on astrology (Kanitha) & astrologers (Kaniyar) where a man's life (Naam) is hung between the circling planets (Vatta Pandhu).
The 'Seed' part is excellent too. All this experienced by a single man, how much time you have lived to see all this ? Uthaman has lived that long seeing everything being outside the circle, outside the cycle itself, and thats the Sorrow of Uthaman.
Gr8 maapi.."saagavaram" is my favorite song followed by "iranya naadagam"...Quote:

Since Jodhaa Akbar by ARR this is the best historical musical album(ignoring lovea song) I have heard.. I expected a lot from "Kaaviya thalaivan" album but disappointed.
Being a gr8 ARR fan eager to know how other ARR fans rates this album as we are used to songs that slowly grows on..
Mappi truely appreciate your appreciation for the album..this infact seems to be one of the best written albums in recent times. ..Quote:

simply amazing ..gives goosebumps

Nasc,
Here is the 'Big Bang Theory' you are refering too :
Karindhu Aerindhum Yediththa Pinnum
Kodhikkum Kuzhmbil Uyirgal Mulaikkum
It should be interesting one though...Everyone involved seems confident of a good output but not sure if it is going to be a screaming hit. If people's tastes improve (dare I say), then it will be a big commercial hit as well...
to be technically correct this is more like a super nova followed by new stars/planets growing out from that ..:)Quote:

That leaves it as a decent hit (middle ground)...That was my reasoning.

here I hope the songs will do as it occupies 30+ minutes in screen telling story which will keep us engaging..if there are some additional pluses without tamil accent issues,mokkai comedy then it will be decent hit
your take on the album please....(sorry if you ahve already given ur take). enna sir soldringa, this is far far from MMA - quality of music , lyrics and substanceQuote:

Just the lyrics, great musicals from Gibran and without any commercial ingredients, there's not much of a chance for the movie to make a hit. All the intellectual conversations about supernova/blackholes etc. will fail to reach the majority film goer. Can only enthuse Kamal fans (not all though) and a few others. Dasa was a hit because of commercial ingredients, balram naidu comedy etc. rather than chaos theory and ebola virus. That said, UV should have a fair dose of commercial elements sprinkled throughout. Hopefully RA moderates it nicely.
Yes exactly. Black hole followed by super nova. This is the death of a star. Big bang is the start of the universe. Many half baked sites are relating this song to the big bang. [emoji38] naangalum aaraaichi panromnu uyira edukkuraanunga..Quote:

the thing is 1st few times any album you hear you wont get the lyrics..instant hit songs are becoz of catchy music but nothing else...
UV has great orchestration which will be very good in theaters and will be liked by many..
yes I accept this alone is not enough there must be few other commercial elements which can be sentiment,comedy,good family drama..
when dasa released, many felt nambi portion was very short. 8th century portion in UV seems to be an extension of the same it seems. could see some resemblance between them (taking uttaman in cage through public roads, getting hit on head)
im sure this movie is for every one..a rare mixture of vithagam and varthagam..like thevar magan.
கடும் போராட்டத்தில் கமல்: ரமேஷ் அரவிந்த் சிறப்புப் பேட்டி
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B_cDCfsWQAEuIgi.jpg:large
“குணால் என்கிற ஆடியோ தொழில்நுட்பக் கலைஞர்தான் க்ரேய்க்கை அறிமுகப்படுத்தினார். அவருக்கு ஆஸ்கர் விருது கிடைத்திருப்பதில் ரொம்ப சந்தோஷம். ஆனால், மக்களின் கைதட்டல்கள் ஆஸ்கர் விருதுக்கு ஒரு படி மேல்தான்.
அந்த வகையில் கமல் சார், கே.பி சார், கே.விஸ்வநாத் சார் என மக்களிடம் கைதட்டல்கள் அள்ளியவர்கள் படத்தில் க்ரேய்க் பணியாற்றி இருக்கிறார் என்று நினைக்கும்போது கூடுதல் சந்தோஷம்” என்று கன்னம் தடவிச் சிரித்தபடி பேச ஆரம்பித்தார் உத்தமவில்லன் படத்தின் இயக்குநர் ரமேஷ் அரவிந்த்.
'உத்தம வில்லன்' எந்த மாதிரியான கதைக்களம்?
ஒரு படத்துக்குள் இரண்டு படங்களை இயக்கி இருக்கிறேன். அதுதான் உண்மை. 21ம் நூற்றாண்டில் காமெடி கலந்த பிரம்மாண்டமான ஒரு கதை. அதில் சூப்பர் ஸ்டாராகக் கமல் நடித்திருக்கிறார்.
'சதிலீலாவதி', 'பஞ்சதந்திரம்' பாணியில் காமெடியில் ஒரு புது முயற்சி பண்ணியிருக்கிறோம். இன்னொருபுறம் 8-ம் நூற்றாண்டு காலம். பிரம்மாண்டமான அரங்குகள் அமைத்து மேக்கப் எல்லாம் போட்டு ஒரு புதுமையான கதைக்களம்.
இந்த இரண்டு உலகத்துக்கும் ஒரு இணைப்பு இருக்கும். அதுதான் திரைக்கதை. அதை கமல் சார் சூப்பராகக் கோர்த்திருக்கிறார். இரண்டு உலகங்களையும் மிகப் பிரம்மாண்டமாகப் படமாக்கி இருக்கிறோம்.
ஆன்ட்ரியா, பூஜாகுமார், பார்வதி என்று நிறைய நாயகிகள் இருக்கிறார்களே?
படத்தில் முக்கியமாக ஐந்து பெண்கள் இருக்கிறார்கள். யாருடைய கதாபாத்திரமும் வீணாகத் திணித்தது போன்று இருக்காது. அவரவர் கதாபாத்திரங்களை நான் சொன்ன உடனேயே, கொஞ்சமும் யோசிக்காமல் ஒப்புக் கொண்டார்கள் என்றால் பார்த்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள்.
இரண்டு முரண்பட்ட வார்த்தைகளை இணைத்துத் தலைப்பு வைத்திருக்கிறீர்களே?
இந்த உலகத்தில் எல்லா மனிதர்களுமே உத்தம வில்லன்கள்தான். எல்லோருக்குள்ளும் ஓர் உத்தமன், ஒரு வில்லன் என்று இரண்டு பேர் இருக்கிறார்கள். அதையே நான் படத்திலும் வைத்திருக்கிறேன் அவ்வளவுதான். ஒரு மனிதனுக்குள் இருக்கும் உத்தமன், வில்லன் இருவருக்கும் தினமும் நடக்கும் சம்பவங்களும் போராட்டமும்தான் திரைக்கதைக்கான தீனி.
கமலுடன் உங்களுக்கு ஏற்பட்ட நெருக்கம், நட்பு பற்றி சொல்லுங்கள்?
முதலில் ரசிகன், சக நடிகன் பிறகே இயக்குநர் என எங்களுக்குள் இருக்கும் நட்பு வளர்ந்து கொண்டே இருக்கிறது. அவருடைய நம்பகத்தன்மை என்னை வியக்க வைக்கும். அவர் சென்னையில் இருப்பார், நான் பெங்களூருவில் இருப்பேன். இருவருக்குமே அதிகமாகத் தொலைபேசி, வாட்ஸ் அப் நட்புதான் என்றாலும், அந்த நட்பு மிகவும் உறுதியானது.
அவருடன் நேரில் உட்கார்ந்து பேச ஆரம்பித்தால், நேரம் போவதே தெரியாது. சினிமா, கலை, இலக்கியம், உலக அரசியல், காமெடி என எதைப் பற்றி பேசினாலும் மலைப்பாக இருக்கும். அந்த மலைப்புக்குக் காரணம் அவர் தன்னை அப்டேட் செய்து கொள்ளும் விதம். அனைத்து விஷயங்களிலும் என்ன அப்டேட் ஆகியிருக்கிறதோ, அதை உடனே தெரிந்து கொள்ளும் ஆர்வம்.
'உத்தம வில்லன்' படத்தைப் பொருத்தவரை இருவரும் இணைந்து பெரிய அளவில் ஆட்டம் ஆடியிருக்கிறோம். என் மீது அதிக நம்பிக்கை வைத்து இந்தப் பட வாய்ப்பைக் கொடுத்தார். இந்தப் படம் மூலமாக மேலும் எங்களது நட்பு வலிமையாகி இருக்கிறது என்றுதான் சொல்வேன்.
நடிகர், நண்பர், இயக்குநர், தயாரிப்பாளர் இந்த வரிசையில் எந்தக் கமலை உங்களுக்குப் பிடிக்கும்?
எல்லா கமலையுமே எனக்குப் பிடிக்கும். சினிமாவில் எல்லாத் துறையிலும் அவருக்கு இருக்கும் ஈடுபாட்டை நான் வேறு யாரிடமும் பார்த்ததில்லை. அதேபோல, நடிப்பு என்று வரும்போது படப்பிடிப்பில் நான் மானிட்டரைக் கூர்ந்து பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருப்பேன். காட்சி முடிந்து கட் சொல்லக்கூட மனம் வராது. அந்த அளவுக்கு அவரது நடிப்பின் தாக்கம் இருக்கும்.
கமல் படப்பிடிப்பில் பணியாற்றுபவர்களைப் பார்த்தீர்கள் என்றால் எல்லா விஷயத்திலும் அப்டேட் ஆனவர்களாகத்தான் இருப்பார்கள். படப்பிடிப்பில் ஒரு சின்னக் காட்சி, செட் வேலை என எந்தவொரு விஷயத்தையும் அவ்வளவு எளிதில் ஒப்புக்கொள்ள மாட்டார் கமல். எந்தவொரு விஷயம் என்றாலும் அதில் 100 சதவீதம் சரியாக இருக்க வேண்டும் என்பார்.
தமிழ்த் திரையில் முன்போல நீங்கள் படம் இயக்குவதோ நடிப்பதோ இல்லையே ஏன்?
நான் என்ன நடிக்க மாட்டேன் என்றா சொல்கிறேன். எனக்குக் கதைகள் வரவில்லை அவ்வளவுதான். 1997-ல் ‘டூயட்' படம் பண்ணினேன். அதன்பிறகு கன்னடத்தில் நான் நடித்த 9 படங்கள் தொடர்ச்சியாக 100 நாள் படங்கள். ஆகையால் பெங்களூருவுக்கு மாறினேன். மற்றபடி நான் தமிழ்த் திரையை மறப்பவனில்லை. எந்தவொரு பெரிய நடிகரை வைத்து இயக்கவும், நல்ல கதை வந்தால் நடிப்பதற்கும் நான் எப்போதுமே தயாராகத்தான் இருக்கிறேன்.
நீங்களும் பாலசந்தர் பள்ளியிலிருந்து வந்தவர். நீங்கள் இயக்க, கமல் நடிப்பதைப் பற்றி பாலசந்தர் என்ன சொன்னார்?
'புன்னகை மன்னன்' படப்பிடிப்பின் போதுதான் பாலசந்தர் சார் என்னை கமலிடம் அறிமுகப்படுத்தி வைத்தார். இப்படத்துக்காக போய் கேட்ட போது நடிக்கிறேன் என்று சொல்லிவிட்டார். அவர் பண்ணியிருக்கிற விதத்தை நீங்கள் திரையில் பாருங்கள். அந்தக் கதாபாத்திரத்தை அவரைத் தவிர வேறு யாரும் பண்ணியிருக்க முடியாது.
அவருக்கு எப்படியாவது இந்தப் படத்தை காட்டிவிட வேண்டும் என்று நினைத்தோம். ஆனால், அது முடியாமல் போய்விட்டது. அவருடைய இறுதிப் படத்தை நான் இயக்கி இருக்கிறேன் என்று நினைக்கும்போது சந்தோஷமாக இருக்கிறது. கண்களும் ததும்புகின்றன.
Why didnt other releases stay away if they think UV will eat into their business ? UV was conceived earlier than most.
Uttama Villain to be postponed?
One of the most expected movies for the second quarter of this year, Uttama Villain was planned to release on the 2nd of April 2015.
But now we hear that the movie might get postponed a little further to the 10th of April. The talks are still on to release the movie on the 2nd but with a couple of other movies releasing on the very same date Uttama Villain could eat into the business of other movies.
Tamil Nadu film association has been planning to come out with a proper strategy to strike a balance with the number of movies to be released in a month and also to give a proper trade window for a big budget film.
Meanwhile Uttama Villain will apparently be sent for censoring in the coming week.
