One great thing this blog is missing is the symmetry, the link btw the uttaman story and the real life. 1st time, in uttaman intro song, the snake bites his back and he dies. soon as that finishes, he meets manonmani for 1st time. there too, in the end of the scene, he falls down the same way and even he moves his body the same way, like kaakaa valippu!

then during interval, he is pushed into the lake, as shanmugarajan wants to test uttaman's immortality, he is saved by fish net(thats again put by Rajesh, the spy fella!) and then he comes out. after the scene ends, he goes alon wiping blood from his nose. there he sees another fisherman putting fish from the lake to his boat. they moves up and down, like any fish does when taken out from water. same way, manoranjan too was just taken out of water few minits b4, and he is also very close to death, like the fish!

Like wise there shud be a connection to him, with each time how the story-within-story ends. i somehow forgot the other portions, shud see the movie to find the entire connections

Firstly welcome back, Sakala. Absolutely agree with the above. Adding to this we had the Saagavaram song that came right after Urvasi faints. It looked more like a way to tell not only the king, but also to himself and the audience of the way life is and how death is just the beginning of life itself. Then you had the Kaadhalam song coming right after car scene with Kamal and Andrea. This extends till the start of the Iraniya Naadagam. The Iraniya Naadagam being Manoranjan's way of expunging his sins or his inability to act as a father.
