In the trailer Kamal daughter asks him ..... nethi mudiya yenpaa sururti surutti vidureenga ? Kamal replies that he has been doing that for past 30 years and its Sivaji style.
Kamal decided to help Lingu out by doing a 30c movie for him to offset loses incurred due to UV delay and so forth. Gnanavel Raja helped Lingu out from EROS by buying rights for the movie paying 15c more than market price. Will be good news if break even is reached.

For AS, panchu was the story writer. Appu clicked with the masses because they sympathised with his cause. This sympathy was missing for Nandu 'cos masses had difficulty in understanding him.Quote:

Now everyone is available ,As we are heading towards end stage of discussion so instead of BO discussion can we discuss about nuances that is new before closing this thread and moving on to other thread Papanasam and ThoongaVanam..venkiram has put nicely in blog..
For me the "Intha kadhai inge irukaiyil song" seems to be crucial song and starting point for the audience to feel screenplay as seamless between real life portions and drama..That song can be taken in both ways..
If you observe purely from drama point of view "uttaman intro,uttaman kadai were told already" and "intha kadhai Inga irukaiyil" song is used to explain another story "Muttarasan kadhai"..
If you observe as the movie point of you as whole after Kamal-daughter conversation Kamal is fainted and admitted to hospital with sontha kadhai ,soga kadhai and movie shifts easily to drama portions with same song "Intha Kadhai inge irukaiyil"..
For me its brilliant and I am not sure whether others felt the same way..
Thanks Nick. The website talks about collections in 2 week run. 3rd week run is going on many places overseas and I'm hoping domestic is also into 3rd week. If that's the case, break-even should be breached soon. Its about clear now that the loss of 1st couple of days has impacted the margins. Its nice of Nammavar to help Lingu out to offset some loses if any ..Quote:

The problem is whether Nammavar has any say on VR-2 rights. I thought its completely with Aascar unless something has changed since his bank issues.Quote:

UV did not have the crowds like VR and had only 60%-70% occupancy first weekend and lesser there after. I'm glad it did what it did in the US.Quote:

The 10 Underappreciated Films of Kamal Hassan
10. Uttama Villain (2015)
This is the latest to join the list of underrated Kamal Hassan films . ( It is still running in cinemas and not yet released in the north of India ,so you can still do yourself a favour by watching in the theatres.)
Uttama Villain is one of the finest films written in Indian Cinema , the film shares the same problem as other Kamal Hassan films .It is a highly self indulgent film and requires an intellectual mind to appreciate. May be our audience don't prefer going through all this intellectual stuff and are quite happy with films like Kanchana . Though Uttama Villain can be termed as a moderate success the film could have done much better at the box-office ,despite the financial problems during the release which caused a delay in the theatrical release .
This film about mortality and immortality is definitely going to take some time for our audience to start raving it ,may be a few years from now.

UV is definitely not an under appreciated film of Kamal Hassan. Movies like Alavanthan, Mumbai Express, Anbe Sivam can be considered as such but definetly not UV. Whoever wrote this article and including UV must have been a _________. UV's popularity impacted due to 2 days late release but pulled in general audience at many abroad countries and TN cities. Its an average collection movie.
the first 2 day revenue loss due to the goof up in the release, spoiled it for UV .. Thirupathi Brothers' loan was more than the budget of UV .. As they are producing multiple projects .. Lingu promised the financiers distribution rights, in case of not repaying on time .. but at the same time, he sold it wholesale to Eros .. hence this amounts to double selling .. Eros backed out and sabotaged the movie .. didnt release it outside south india .. Studio green took over the rights at the last moment to bail out lingu .. also Rajkamal seems to have helped Thirupathi Brothers.. ie gave back some money, so that TB pays off its debts ..Quote:

not crossing $1M in US Canada shows they too want masala fight action film only (even like VR its ok!) and not interested in classics like UV :(Quote:

Many of us liked UV ! ! !
So you want to present like kanchana..Quote:

What you are expecting from UV to appeal masses...
All i can say is Kamalhaasan has done the best possible way to present classic autofiction movie like UV to appeal masses..
What can you say about people calling movie as slow? hari,lawrence movies go like non-sense jet speed without logic and after watching that people saying UV as slow but its the normal presentation only..
People are excited and whistle,clapped for dialogues like "Road'u rough'ah iruku, Route'u tough'ah irukunu enkita edhachum kadhai sonna naan rough aagiduven" but not excited for real life based dialogues between kamal-jayaram,kamal-daughter,kamal-son,etc which were superb..
Neenga manasa thottu sollunga where our people taste is going??
Venki,
I agree with you that uthama villain is not a wash-out in box-office. Kamal has experimented with audience with european style style of movie making(Fellini,Bergmen) of internalising the movie making in a auto-fiction style of flow. But his compromise of uththaman episode let him down badly with shoddy approach which lacked humour or sensibility. Kamal's strength is kamal and weakness also Kamal. Instead of making use of the talents around him ,he tried to do everything by himself. As an actor,he is becoming stale and lack freshness.(He didn't age gracefully)His drift from Selvaragavan,Miskin are all costly lapse for him distancing from young talents.
These are only my views as an ardent fan of Kamal.Uthama villain is brilliant in parts and not a complete Film.
