Manoranajn said. When you came back , he wont be there. His son will find a better actor in abrorad or in tamil. Mano's reply No body can be like my Dad.

May be an inside joke on KH's part.Quote:

Recent interview by KH during visit to Delhi
That is the genius of Kamalahassan - in the likes of Kannadhasan, he draws a parallel between his life and the Hiranyakasipu episode.
என் உதிரத்தின் விதை - The seed of my blood
என் உயிருதிர்த்த சதை - The flesh of my flesh
வேறொருவனை பகவன் என பொறுத்திடுவேனா - How will I tolerate you calling another your lord
As for Nasser character, he is just another facet of Manoranjan - remember, he is both Uttaman and Villain!
A reflection of Manoranjan who is dying but wants to leave behind his immortality.
Yes, he deliberately made some of the steps look a bit artificial/awkward. ( I felt so)Quote:

Chokku wants to resign and informs his mistake, nay crime, of not passing a letter from Yamini to Manoranjan
Then Manoranjan asks, "What about my letter to Yamini?"
Chokku then brings out the second letter.
There were some cheap and mokka jokes that could have been avoided. With Crazy Mohan it would have been natural, but here the "jokes" stood out uncomfortably.

Nanga patuku, nanga undu enga threads undu nu irukom, why is this happening only to KH threads and our sagas :???: :(
Doctor was the best. I have never encountered such honest fans like him before. Critical at the same time, provided insight. I humbly wish that Dr. returns to the hub. Gave us lots of behind the scene info too.

May be, but another interpretation would be that Nasser is the straight villain in Uttama Villain while Mano/Uattaman are the Uttamans. Manoranjan is certainly not the villain both at the start of the movie nor in the end. Mano drinks, has extramarital affairs, may have sold out by doing commercial films and not the ones with Margadarisi, etc. But these are all not crimes. Even with Yamini and her child, they show that he is not irresponsible.Quote:

^I beg to differ slightly. Mutharasan is a sort of a symbol to the the standards of tamil cinema today, its over indulgence in bringing out films that look for commercial viability over artistry. Mutharasan's ascension to the throne is through short cuts, making compromises. He hardly has political acumen, qualifications for a good ruler but still makes it through by killing the king. He to a good degree is always surrounded by the crassness of his subjects- the sycophancy and the blaring trumpets and drums just like Manoranjan who's both a victim and a proponent of mediocre film making . The biggest giveaway however is the tiger getting curd rice. Remember Kamal describing Sivaji saying 'Pulikku thayir Saadham koduthu keduthutom" ? Muthurasan (Manoranjan) is the tiger that got used to the thayir saadham, lying in the dumps of his mediocrity and absolutely ignorant of what it requires to be a king . He's a ear short literally and figuratively.
The Uthaman character feels like a cross between the 'thenali' and Raja (mechanic character from Aboorva Sagodharargal) characters - and further a nod to the Kikuchiyo character in Kurosawa's 'Seven Samurai' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E05kKuE-JnA
very honest interview by RA. :clap:
http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-act...aghuraman.html
Another thing is, without even watching the movie, provoking people based on some silly reviews and calling them as neutral. Bringing box office results when no one is interested about in this thread because box office is the only place where Kamal can lose to other actors. IMO kolai seyyuravana vida kolai seyya thoonduravanukku thaan dhandanai adhigam kidaikkanum but in the hub that is not the case. I am just wondering why people hate Kamal so much, here are the reasons.Quote:

Unfortunately no one can save this hub and that has been the case for the past few years. We lost all sensible hubbers and now all we have is irritation.

Of course, one can, metaphorically, imagine anything with anything else...including comparing a tiger's condition to Mano etc. But in my view it is a big stretch, an over-interpretation and likely misinterpretation as well. Many a times, it will appear to me that even the makers (in this case KH and RA) may not have thought so much at specific points. Plus, not many, besides Kamal's fans, would remember statements made by Kamal regarding Sivaji in some interview totally outside of the context of the movie. To me that scene was there to supposedly evoke some laughter but failed miserably (one among many in the supposedly comedy film). But, there is joy in interpreting a work in various ways, I understand. But it can't be so abstract that not many would be able to relate to. And certainly, that's not the maker's intention (they, after all, want everyone to come see the movie and relate to it).Quote:

The movie within a movie, while trying to provide some comic relief is themed to stress this point about mortality. So we have an evil king who wants to live forever (physical) while there is Uttaman who comes as an Artist who lives forever (metaphorically, his Art lives forever). While the king dies, Art/Artist is not vanquished. That is all there is to it!
So the evil king who kills off everyone in his path to the throne and who tries to rape the princess is not a reflection of Mano or his art form or his current status as a sell-out superstar in any way. May be, he was mocking the "talentless lucky star" :) Just my wild guess. But, frankly, Mano is very likeable from the very first scene and he has not committed anything close to a murder (or shown to remove anyone in his path to super stardom). If anything, he is a bit selfish and not brave enough to stick to the righteous path. That notion (not being brave) is also quickly dispelled by the letter he had written to Yamini and by revealing that his wife is an obsessive freak who would end her life rather than let Mano slip away. Mano is very likeable (he is not arrogant, does not abuse his fans etc. etc.)
On the whole, the physical life has to come to an end for everybody. But "Life is beautiful" (another quote from Kamal in a recent interview when talking about UV). Bitter Chocolate would have been a much more apt title. I can almost bet that the Yamini-Manonmani thread may have been something that had evolved over time and added to the main script.

Ya that's the beauty of art. It's open to speculation and interpretation. The very fact that so many perspectives arise for a single film talks about the movies depth. This is the one quality that I look in films and I most cases am never disappointed with Kamal's films. Even duds like MMA had a good amount of depth with respect to each of the characters. Coming to this film, I absolutely agree with what you say. I did go a little overboard with the analysis. Perks of having watched it thrice I guess. But the product is so intriguing and knowing Kamal, I found it hard to stop over-analysing the film.Quote:

Vithagarae before doctor commented check the below provoking statement from person who always intentionally pulling others leg,not only in this thread..
"I think we should never talk about BO performance when it comes to Kamal movies. That would be very silly. Sakala should change his signature as soon as possible. Otherwise that will misguide people to talk about BO performance of UV which does not seem that great. I would blame sakla if anybody talks about BO performance of KH movies anymore! "
This is just one of the provoking comments from that person..she has made lot many before doctor commented..
evlo keeltharama irundhadhunnu ungaalunga kittaye kelunga vithagarae..
Cool Unmai... Need not worry much regarding the BO performance as of now as it has done enough business for the makers. The produces have created enough problems for themselves that even the screening license procured is only for 2 weeks. Unless they pay back the loans, EROS will stop the screening from Friday.Quote:
