This guys seems reasonable as he points out pros and cons as well unlike some Kamalahassan worshipers's one-sided boring reviews!

I enjoyed the movie thoroughly. In fact i found the 8th century portion thoroughly entertaining. It was brilliant. The humour was subtle and the timing perfect.The way the current and the past met at the end was simply superb. I have been hooked to UV's music for the past month. To watch the visuals with the music was fantastic.I am surprised at some of the reviews that are critical of the casting. I think KH has got the casting perfect. It was refreshing(for me at least) to watch Kamal the star in the modern portion and Kamal the actor in the 8th century portion.

Bosskeys reviews are not wrong. Athuvum oru karuthu to quote Kamal.

Missed the FDFS due to work commitments. Ended up watching it on screen over the weekend that was 75 % full mostly family audiences. Hence quite a few disturbances from babies crying. Got to watch it again next week to enjoy the journey.

Negative for me
I will have to look for this when i view it again.

Only negatives for me was Pooja Kumar. Trim pannina seri thaan irukam

I could not agree more. That too when you say it, it has to be true. Because you are the most neutral person when analyzing Lingaa. Even I could not find anything wrong with that classic but you came up with most of the flaws and very rightly displayed all the box office report also. Hats off to you.

I was partially right..It was Nagesh Krishnamoorthy who had dubbed in some portions it seems(not fully)...

[jaypeenattu]

Kalllu vangaliyo kallu (pun intended here referring to TASMAC sales)..che idhellam oru pozhappa...did anyone notice that...

[Mr.GreyShirt]

Just wow... Brilliant movie. This is one of those movies that makes me wish I have Tamil friends who I can talk and analyse movies with.

மனசை அரிக்கும் கேள்வி: எல்லா நடிகர்களும் செய்யற மாதிரி அதாவது மக்கள் சாதரணமாக ரசித்து சந்தோஷமாக பொழுது போக்கி விட்டு போகிற மாதிரி கதைகளை விட்டு இவர் மட்டும் எதற்கு வித்தியாசமான கதைகளை தான் படமா பண்ணனும்னு பிடிவாதமா இருக்கார்?
படத்தை பார்த்த பின் தூக்கம் வராம பண்றாருப்பா இந்தாளு........

Your question answers itself!

Every filmmaker ought to make films striving for excellence - thats how things work in most film industries - take Matthew McConaughey - from doing chick flicks mostly to someone who has consciously chosen to handle one terrific script after the other has landed him the most critically acclaimed star - same goes for Billy Bob Thornton and so many others in Hollywood..

Its a sorry state of affairs that our film industry is all about money and not creativity - the very fact that most in the hub are concerned more about the BO status and competition rather than the content of a given film says a lot...thats why we continue to make crappy film after film with punch dialogs and item songs with no strength in content...

You cant have a carpenter who doesn't love his work and make fine pieces of carpentry - likewise in every field...

For Kamal, cinema is not a profession - its his passion...

Am yet to see this due to work - will see sometime later this week...

I only said, Bosskey's review is reasonable.

Those final scenes in the hospital are of pure irony. When Manoranjan is admitted to the hospital, KB promises to bring edited footage of Iraniya Nadagam to him when completed. In real life, KB was admitted to the hospital when Kamal was in final stages of completing the film itself (Sound mixing in LA.) At that time, there was news that KH wanted to fly back immediately, but KB insisted that UV work must be completed and not delayed further.

Sad but another premonition oversight in writing.
