    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 ..

    in the end, things are settled for now .. UV has lost atleast 15- 20 C in the first two days !! had there been a proper release, this would have been classified as Hit for sure .. but the opening weekend accounts for atleast 30-40% of the collection for big movies..

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.
    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

    Excitement is also very subjective.
    Some people get excited by Shakeela's "glamour"; some get excited by Rajini speaking punch dialogue written by the dialogue writer; Some get excited by Vadivelu falling in cow dung; Also some get excited by seeing Anbe Sivam.
    Many of us liked UV ! ! !

    So you want to present like kanchana..
    The don/godfather based movies can be made classic as well as it can appeal to mass audience like Nayagan,devar magan..
    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.
