But us la panna mudiyathu. I have a feeling they will alot more screens for the Hindi film Gabbar and throw out UV within the week if collections are low. Moreso, locations will reduce if response is poor. Based on the feedback, likely to go Anbe Sivam way. People are walking out in between the second half. I guess Kanchana and Maan Karate type films will run in TC then.Quote:

Verdict: Screaming of mastery in every department, Uttama Villain is True cinema 3.5 / 5.0
SIFY

On the whole, its shortcomings notwithstanding, Uttama Villain is a good example of an entertaining commercial film that didn't need to be lazy or senseless.
Verdict: Good

@optimisticgreen the problem is between the Thirupathi brothers and a financier and also Telugu rights
அந்த அளவுக்கு போகாது! வெற்றிப்படமாக அமைய எல்லாக் காரணிகளும் இருக்கு. ஆனால் அந்தக் காரணிகள் இதுவரை யாரும் எதிர்பார்க்காத ஒன்று.. அங்கேதான் கமல்.Quote:

Once all the dust is settled, UV has to rely on creative accounting to show as a hit. They will have to probably do that to set up the business for Papanasam. With lack of CGI or heroine belly dancing etc in that movie, it will be that much more of a hard-sell for most markets.
Character artist and comedian Mohan Raman seems to have taken a dig at director/producer Lingusamy after the release of Kamal Haasan starrer 'Uttama Villain' was delayed today. The morning and afternoon shows of the film stay canceled as of now in Tamilnadu, with the makers taking steps to release the film soon. The film is produced by Lingusamy's Thirrupathi Brothers and was set to hit the screens today, but was delayed due to some financial problems.
Taking a sarcastic dig at Lingusamy Mohan Raman tweeted, "When u deal with "suit-boot" corporates we must remember that until last penny is paid - u cannot expect to release. Poor @dirlingusamy." (Sic)
With the makers negotiating, the film starring Kamal Haasan, Andrea and Pooja Kumar in the lead and directed by Ramesh Aravind is expected to be released by evening today.
Is it really lingu vs eros or lingu vs third party sait?
It is funny all these producers put some 20% their money and depend on the financiers or bank for rest of the money when producing a movie!
No idea. Aaascar Ravi also in a big financial mess now . That too after the release of I the so-called Block buster!Quote:

Venkiram, whatever you have said abt UV till now are all exaggerated.
I am not so sure. I am able to relate to Venkiram's views. I don't totally agree with everything he has stated but for the most part I felt he is right.Quote:

Never felt any issues with the length of the movie, It is always a sheer joy watching the man on screen.
Definitely going again for another viewing this weekend.. Eagerly waiting for our fellow hubbers to begin the review discussions

These same "critics" will crib later when Udhay Stalin releases his future comedy film Paarakaas or SK's future venture Per Sollum Pillai with usual kacha mucha kathai rake more moolah. Or give whistle/praises to mass films disguised as horror/pazhai dosa maavu class kathai like Muni Part 4 - Meendum Kaanchana or Kadhal Ponmani, etc.
Am looking forward to seeing movie tomorrow. But this is the reality. And I feel sorry for Nammavar.

நேற்று நானும் படம் பார்த்தேன் ..இப்போதெல்லாம் கமல் படம் பார்க்கும் போதெல்லாம் படத்தின் மீது இருக்கும் கவனத்தை விட , இதை மக்கள் ரசிக்கிறார்களா , இதை எப்படி எடுத்துக்கொள்வார்கள் என்ற யோசனையே / கவலையே அதிகம் வருகிறது .
கமல் என்ற கலைஞனின் நடிப்பை இனிமேல் தான் அவர் நிரூபிக்க வேண்டும் என்ற அவசியம் இல்லை . இந்த படத்தில் அவர் சொல்ல வந்த கருத்து , கிளைமாக்ஸ் உருக்கம் எல்லாம் மக்களிடம் சேர்கிறது . ஆனால் பல காட்சிகளை மக்கள் அசுவாரஸ்யத்துடம் அணுகுவதாகவே தெரிகிறது . நகைச்சுவையில் ஈர்ப்பு குறைவு.
ஏன் தொடர்ந்து பூஜாகுமார் , ஆண்ட்ரியா என கட்டி அழுகிறார் என பொதுவான மக்கள் எரிச்சல் படக்கூடும் .
கமல்ஹாசன் காவியம் படைத்திருக்கிறார் .உண்மை . ஆனால் அதை புரிந்து கொள்வதில் பொதுஜனம் பொறுமையை இழக்கக் கூடும்.
Joe, tn is going to watch a movie which is cut by 30 to 40 min...you would have watched the 3 hour long version
ஏன் படத்தை வெளியிட்ட பின்னர் இப்படி குறைக்க வேண்டும் .Quote:

இந்த படத்தை பற்றி குறைகள் வருவது பற்றி எனக்கு வருத்தம் இல்லை . ஆனால் சரித்திர சாதனைகளுக்கு சொந்தக்கார மகா கலைஞனை நேத்து முளைத்த காளான்கள் , நண்டு சிண்டுகள் , வெந்தது வேகாகததுகள் எள்ளி நகையாடுவதை பார்க்கும் போது மனது வலிக்கிறது.
Nono... It was trimmed before foriegn release itself. It was preplanned that TN audience will watch shorter version...Quote:

I second this. Mr Nickraman.. padam release agaveh illa in india.. And you feel sorry and used the word "Nammavar", which means you are a kamal fan. I feel so sorry for andvar because of His own fans is trying to pull him down.Quote:

Do not create an hype saying 'let down' feeling pity etc.. This might affect some neutral goers to the movie..
If you are a kamal fan sorry saga. If your other fan.. i have no comments.
I too told Nick to take a break. I dont know why is he sooooo negative about everything.
I understand "quality" is more important than BO success. But look at these producers lile Lingu or Aascar Ravi. They run into financial difficulties now and then. They need to recover the money they put it with some profit to pay off the "high interest" they need to pay back to the financiers. BO success is not everything but that is also important for the "movie business"!Quote:
