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

Box office performance dictates your brand and standing amongst producers, financiers, and other commercial machinery. Kamal establishes his top rating here only next to Rajini due to this criteria. Whereas Kamal as a brand among his fans and others (general public) is only due to his experimental and critical ventures. He has been for long trying to strike an effective compromise between the two and is rather rare to hit both the same time. Something worth saying here is that while he goes out to do a commercial flick, a failure as in MMA is sort of a setback because he got neither - a box office performance or a critically acclaimed. Hopefully he tries to avoid such ventures. A reasonable commercial movie with ingredients may be necessary every once a while to make sure everybody is happy ....
