Sakala anna.. dnt you even feel that creativity also better presented with something that excite people for a mass media like this.. ? Manasa thottu sollunga..!!

ok.. how many non-masala/action movies touched 1M at the US box office ?? the answer is zero .. VR is not masala.. but still its action ..

[Anban]

the fact of the matter is, the historical portion in UV was not upto Kamal standards .. the contemporary part of the movie has appealed to a significant section of the audience and thats why its not a debacle at the BO .. for a class movie, it has collected very well, inspite of losing the first two days..

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.

For almost 7 years now I am hearing many commenting KH as narcissistic for doing all the thing and not going for other directors?
Some 5-7 years back these people commenting KH must work with selvaraghava,Ameer,Bala,myskin etc..now where are they?
Selva,ameer,bala already out..Myskin after Mugamoodi debacle all the films are just average and doesnt have new idea..ARM,gautam surviving on Aracha maavae araikurathu..
Now the people are commenting he must work with nalan kumarasamy,karthik subbu,blah blah..how many movies they made and what are the varieties..Baring few movies all they do is gangster/don/thriller kind of movies or intense love stories..first let them make another 2 movies and they also will be out like Selva,Ameer,bala..But kamal will stand tall..

Its stupid to put the break on kamalhaasan creativity for his experimental movies like UV,VR..may be the producer can stop as its his money and for the same reason i want kamal to produce all his experimental movies..There will be some negatives like some scenes in 2nd half periodic portions in UV but Kamalhaasan creativity in UV is far far better than so called selvaraghavan,ammer,bala,myskin,etc..

For Blockbuster sake kamal can work with these directors as the combination will bring more anxiety but definitely not from creativity point of view..

As an actor,he is becoming stale and lack freshness.(He didn't age gracefully)

Age wise, there is none who ages much more slowly and beautifully as kamal sir. And he is not using Botox too. Botox will make ones skin hard and kamal cannot act in the scene with ajayram where even his கன்னக்கதுப்பு was acting! The above lines can be said as the most funniest dumb lines, on kamal! Sorry sir, but i mean it.

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. His drift from Selvaragavan,Miskin are all costly lapse for him distancing from young talents.

So if any of these so called young talented directors were given a chance, would them hav made the 8th century portion a superhit?!? And what eamples? Selva's period attempt Aayirathil Oruvan flopped badly.

Very sincere request ..... lets not discuss NT in the thread. NT and KH span different generations and also acting genre. When fans of non sense heroes are coming and throwing shit here, lets hear positively to comments from senior NT fans. At least the discussion will be healthy. KH and NT compare and contrast mattum vendaam.

lets take the case of so-called young directors.. actually these guys are no more young..

Selvaraghavan - total waste of time
Bala - he is repetitive but impactful..
Gautam - lacks creativity and very very repetitive
ARM - lacks sarakku.. but does make an impact with the masses.. ideal candidate for a mass masala BB .. best substitute for Shankar (old shankar) .. new shankar is a waste of time and money

Mysskin - the only worthy candidate ... dropping his movie is a big disappointment .. Kamal needs to understand that mysskin's writing wont be up to his liking, but he makes up for it with this direction and presentation ..

+1 for highlighted..the only person kamal can consider from creativity point of view is Mysskin..his direction and presentation,camera angles were different with less dialogues and intriguing BGM..

i dont think bala can be boxed along with the aforementioned directors. he is class apart in terms of characterization and story telling - except for the weak avan ivan....

but i do not think there is any chance of kamal as a creator needing to be in a bala film - coz bala already brings out powerful performances from everyone ...rajkiran in nanda etc

other than that kamal in anyother directors movie is gonna be a kamal movie...

Kamal should work with other directors only for mass blockbuster movies..for that he can go for ARM ..

MMA pola mokkai padam koduthuruntha intha discussiona jeeranichikalaam but his last 2 movies VR and UV were classic and good compared to other directors movies..than why do we need other directors?
