This guys seems reasonable as he points out pros and cons as well unlike some Kamalahassan worshipers's one-sided boring reviews!

I enjoyed the movie thoroughly. In fact i found the 8th century portion thoroughly entertaining. It was brilliant. The humour was subtle and the timing perfect.The way the current and the past met at the end was simply superb. I have been hooked to UV's music for the past month. To watch the visuals with the music was fantastic.I am surprised at some of the reviews that are critical of the casting. I think KH has got the casting perfect. It was refreshing(for me at least) to watch Kamal the star in the modern portion and Kamal the actor in the 8th century portion.Quote:

Missed the FDFS due to work commitments. Ended up watching it on screen over the weekend that was 75 % full mostly family audiences. Hence quite a few disturbances from babies crying. Got to watch it again next week to enjoy the journey.
Negative for me
I will have to look for this when i view it again.
Only negatives for me was Pooja Kumar. Trim pannina seri thaan irukam
I could not agree more. That too when you say it, it has to be true. Because you are the most neutral person when analyzing Lingaa. Even I could not find anything wrong with that classic but you came up with most of the flaws and very rightly displayed all the box office report also. Hats off to you.Quote:

Just wow... Brilliant movie. This is one of those movies that makes me wish I have Tamil friends who I can talk and analyse movies with.

Its a sorry state of affairs that our film industry is all about money and not creativity - the very fact that most in the hub are concerned more about the BO status and competition rather than the content of a given film says a lot...thats why we continue to make crappy film after film with punch dialogs and item songs with no strength in content...
You cant have a carpenter who doesn't love his work and make fine pieces of carpentry - likewise in every field...
For Kamal, cinema is not a profession - its his passion...
Am yet to see this due to work - will see sometime later this week...
I only said, Bosskey's review is reasonable. :-)Quote:

At that time, there was news that KH wanted to fly back immediately, but KB insisted that UV work must be completed and not delayed further.
Sad but another premonition oversight in writing.
I liked very much the fun part of 8th century episodes . You may call it as a fan boyish view but I witnessed in theatre that many people laughed and clapped during those episodes.Quote:

tamizh..dont give up..for every ten positive reviews you will find one negative review. keep digging. all the best. but beware..kochadayaan, linga ஒப்பிடுகையில் இந்த thread ரொம்ப புளிக்கும்.
I don't agree with any of the cons Bossky said. Everyone in the theater was laughing during the comedy portion and these are folks living in Canada, so they clearly understood what it is being said. What is with too many dead bodies? :roll:
he is bending too much to say some negative with the plot and making such. Good try.Quote:

Kamal the actor had his roots from theatre and this is probably his way of paying homage to it. It was a conscious decision from the part of the makers. I saw a good number of people both lapping it up and watching the sequences unfold repulsively. It blew hot and cold for me at my first viewing , but my subsequent viewings helped me connect the dots. There is a good amount of synergy between the two parts of the movie. It could have been more explicitly established but it certainly worked for me.Quote:

Bold & Brilliant script with lots of emotional performances. Its a treat for everyone who likes the artist & star Kamalhaasan and has everything you expect from a kamal movie.
Be it his anti-God stand or talking about his real lifestyle, kamalhaasan comes up with a bold & clear tone in this movie. Don't miss it.
Mrithyun jayaho ! Mrithyun jayaho !!
Lot more nuances there to discuss. BTW. . How many of u observed that Uttaman character is the 4th level if u start sequencing it from kamalhaasan. Puriyuthaa ? ? I know its a confusing statement. But just think.
Must read..he is one of our hubber right?
Excellent review from Mr complicator.
Let me try Dr the sequences.Quote:

Right? Excellent point of view. Please bring more.
If you notice the poem Kamal reads out about his Guru KB in the start of the movie.. he mentions the core values which going to be addressed within the movie.
A movie for meta. Period.
Wrong venki
Think of all the characters kamal plays in a sequence ...... u will find uttaman is level 4 excluding kamal. Now re think with this angle.
And dont post if u find a spoiler in the answer.
509K not to bad!
Good to hear it is not bad.Quote:

its already 'Good' as it has earned more than Gabbar!
only encouraging WOM can make it 'Great". so far kamal fans loved it.
I think total is 600k (cumulative).
Is it including Telugu?
Clue for my question
KH ...... A .... M .... S .... U.
Is it some Avatar?Quote:
