UlagaNayagan KAMALHAASAN in ||"UthamaVillan"|| Directed by Ramesh Aravind

pattu ellam attagasama irruku.... kamal's hair style in the movie was pretty good.

Enthan Nenjil and Dillu Baru Jaane were instant hits.

But the stage songs were weak in both music and picturization. Kamal had given a big break to stage singer roles and a lot was expected from this movie. But Jadakku mudakkaana sarakku was just mediocre, with inane lyrics like "deengu danga". Another stage song, "Kalaignan Kattu Kaaval" had some unrelated and unnecessary flashback scenes - probably introduced to confuse viewers. It backfired.

Other possible reasons for its failure.

- Other than Kamal, Sivaranjani and Nasser, the cast members were all new.
- Villain not strong enough (he was a Kannada hero) & his motif wasnt too convincing.
- little or no comedy (that Kannada inspector was annoying)
- Nasser, as usual, wasted.
- Was released few days +/- Roja

Positives

+ Kamal's look, style and costumes were aasam.
+ BGM, especially the water drop, rocked!
+ The two songs mentioned above
+ The Knife fight with Sivaranjani's boy friend was Marana Mass!
+ Suspense was maintained till the very end
