I love reading books and watching movies. But when it comes to writing reviews, I would prefer writing for a book rather than for a movie.
My first movie review was for Tamasha. I just loved it. And why? Coz I could relate to it and not just that, but the movie was made 'intelligently' for the 'intelligents'. ( I know I'm sounding rude)
Similarly, in case of Uttama Villian, I found the movie quite different. Different is the word!
Kamal Hassan plays the central character.
For those who do not know, Kamal Hassan makes and acts in difficult movies having a deeper meaning. Anbe Saivam, Dashavataram are few.
Coming back to Uttama Villian.
What's so good?
1. Story telling: story is told in good old manner. Balachandar Sir is one of the best story teller and he is a part of this movie. It's a sheer pleasure to watch Indian classic come alive.
2. Ambu Paatu and Thaiyyam: Ambu( Bow) Paatu(Song) is a folk way of telling story in Tamil Nadu and Thaiyyam is a dance drama form from Kerala. 21st century is the age of fusion and this movie does the same. Ambu Paatu and Thaiyyam come together to tell the story.
3. Actors: Kamal Hassan, K Balachandar, Urvashi and rest of the actors have done their best. Display of emotions, be it when kamal gets to know that he has cancer or the anguish that his son shows when he realises the truth or the sons emotional outburst and display of love for his father...these are some of the best moments. Father son conversation is beautifully depicted.
4. Picturization: make up,color, vfx effects makes you feel that you should watch Thaiyyam in live.
5. Humor: Kamal plays the witty character of Uttaman with ease. He makes you laugh laugh and laugh...n every joke the typical 'kamal' touch.
6. Message from the movie: As said earlier, kamal Hassan is known to make and work in movies with a difference, this movie also has many hidden messages.
Love thy family, love is imperishable. It's your body which dies, your deeds live longer. It takes effort and guts to accept the truth and also to say NO when needed. Happiness is a state of mind and one needs to work towards being happy. Learn new things in life. Get connected to the roots.... These are few of the messages I could get.

I'm obviously not judging the movie for giving it stars, but yes, I had to write this review so that people watch.
Uttama Villian is truly Uttaman(at its best)! Verdict: A must watch!
