When Manoranjan opens news about his disease to KB, he gets shocked, cries, says that you are a chinna payyan, then he slowly walks towards the collage of fotos where he and mano/kamal were there, sees one by one, with wonder and happy memories of past! there, guru-sishya bgm is played! such a beautiful shot! that bgm is NOT pathos sad! Instead it kind of slowly brings back the glittering, surprising moments they both had in past! thus says the bgm! after that also KB doesnt cry, intead he instantly agrees to do a film and both goes to balcony to give a pose!!
And also when kamal's car driver cries, kamal tries to stop him driving the car. when bhasker cries too, kamal says it doesnt suit ur face!!! and says 'velai irukku' and moves on!!
So he kinda doesnt cry there. only places he kinda emotes more than cries, is where jayaram breaks the news that yamini is dead and reveals about manonmani!
So it clearly shows kamal has moved much much far away from the loud cry! ok, last he cried is UPO, but thats a silent one, then in dasa 12th century, he cries for short duration(and most ppl get the reason for it wrong!) and back then, in VV, he cries lying totally back, in the bed, near his dead wife in bed. we dont see his face much. b4 that in virumaandi, he cries loud and also harsh since he is a village guy, his character is like that. just thinking about various types of cries he gave! UV doesnt looks like any of the past ones!!
This is the wonderful point which i thought of mentioning but dont know how to describe,,well said saga..
UV doesnt looks like any of the past ones..great expression without tears in most places but it will make us cry..

Not only in the context of the movie but also real life 'KaNNikai', dedication and fond remembrance for KB sir from Kamal. He has mentioned several times that this movie is very much dedicated to KB to a large extent and KV to some extent.
Reg. loud crying .. He can emote equally or much better silently as well. Infact a lot of his silent emotions are far more stronger than his loud display of emotions imo.

Sometimes I have felt "what an acting" seeing Kamal crying but I do not cry.
But here I could not appreciate the acting, but I cried.
Alright looks like the party's started in terms of dissecting the movie. Great start guys. The 5th level thing is actually so awesome to think of. Here's some more fodder to think from from my side as well. UV is essentially in core a story of fathers. Their actions move the story. It is Jacob Zachariah, a pseudo father's love towards his foster child that brings Manonmani to Manoranjan. It's PCR's love towards his love that causes all the damage in the first place. Its Margadarsi's fatherly love that sails him through the hard times. Lastly it's Manoranjan's failure as a father to both his children that propels him towards making amends with both of them. And the icing of the cake is Iraniyan. He's a father to prahladha. Ithu avan appanin kadha like how Uttaman puts it. And look how it ended.

Proper A-lister pottaana, nariya reviewers aaaha ohho eehee nu paaratuvar. That is the life.
Yeah, a flamboyant actress performing with a top notch hero, Manoranjan in modern era and a disturbed princess in 8th century era .. What more can be asked of her ? She was pretty adequate ..
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
