Enna issuenae puriyala .. From RC's interactions with the man, himself is upset and wants the movies released. So no more blaming KH - he has done his part and the movie's shooting was done by Oct last.

Papanasam is mostly done as well. VR-2 again mostly done although new shoots are planned. He's ready to start on next ..

The most irritating stuff is that the makers were mentioning like "coming soon","very soon" frequently without revealing the dates when its distant away..
Forum folks here knows its not the mistake of KH thanks to RC interactions but others think KH is also the reason for the delay bcoz for years ppl think he interferes in every department..When raj kamal produces small budget movies its released immediately like UPO,mumbai express...its better he himself produces small budget movies,release quick instead of waiting for summer holidays,etc and still can reap max profits..

Nannbenda is over! plans to clash with Kamal…
Feb 10, 2015
Nannbenda is Udhayanidhi Stalin’s third movie as a hero after Oru Kal Oru Kannadi and Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal. The shooting and also the patch works for the movie are apparently completed now.

The dubbing and re-recording work for the film are said to be finished too with just some minor post production left. Nannbenda has 6 unique tracks composed by Harris Jayaraj, out of which three songs have supposedly been shot overseas.

It must also be noted that this Udhay - Nayanthara starrer also has Tamannaah playing a cameo role while Udhay’s regular Santhanam will be seen playing an integral part in the film.

As reported earlier Nannbenda will be releasing on the 2nd of April along with Kamal Haasan’s Uttama Villain.

Eros Intl to release Kamal’s Uttama Villain, on April 2

Joins hands with Lingusamy’s Thirrupathi Brothers. Set to also release ‘Rajini Murugan’ starring Sivakarthikeyan. The company had also bagged the worldwide rights last year for Rajinikanth’s Lingaa.

Eros International Media Ltd will release actor Kamal Haasan’s much awaited comedy ‘Uttama Villain’ as well as upcoming actor Sivakarthikeyan’s ‘Rajini Murugan’.

The company, which acquires, co-produces and distributes Indian films across formats, on Tuesday said that for this it has joined hands with director N.Lingusamy’s production house Thirrupathi Brothers Media Pvt Ltd.

“As part of the tie-up, Eros will release two of the most anticipated films in Tamil cinema with Telugu dub,” Eros International said in a regulatory filing to the stock exchange.

A comedy written by Kamal himself and starring Anuskha Shetty, ‘Uttama Villain’ is directed by Ramesh Arvind. The film, whose trailer was released on Pongal day last month, is slated for release on April 2.

‘Rajini Murugan’ is also a comedy and directed by Ponram, whose last venture with Sivakarthikeyan was ‘Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam.’ Eros International managing director Sunil Lulla said both the films will be “high on the entertainment quotient and promise to connect with fans and audiences.” The company had also bagged the worldwide rights last year for Rajinikanth’s Lingaa.

Mr. Lingusamy said that the association with Eros to co-produce the two films was the beginning of a “long and successful journey” with the company.

[kumarsr]

any other big releases planned near UV release?

Many movies are planned during the same weekend. Karthi's next, Nanbenda, Mani rathnam's next, Vikram's next are just a few. They are not all big releases and some of them may not release on the same weekend as April 2 but these are all April releases for sure. Because of this, UV will not be a solo release. In terms of big release, Rajamouli's next (Bahubali) which is shot in both Telugu and Tamil is planned to release on April 10th.

That is why, it is important to announce a firm release date way in advance and ensure it is a solo release and does not have much competition for a week or 2. Collections in the first 2 weeks determine the fate of any film.

[irir123]

illa sanga kaalathhu pirates pathhina kadhayaa :lol:



why not UV?

ancient tamil pirates who were allegedly oppressed social outcasts rebelling against the then king, as a prequel in historical terms to modern maoism - demanding equal rights and a share of the sovereignty - with the king reborn as modern day Warren Anderson (Union Carbide chief) and pirates descendants as Bhopal residents - like butterfly effect, this can be called, the dragonfly effect with the dragonfly morphing into the chinese dragon - part 2 will be continued in Tiannamen square, where the students are spiritual cousins of the pirates connected to each other via a sithhar paadal (hopefully identified by IR who will compose for both) with a suvadi verse written by the sitthar's re-incarnate that talks about an ancient form of hieroglyphics as well as mandarin/cantanese script - with a subtle Bruce Lee's image in the background during a fight scene and a book of philosopher J Krishnamurthy on the bookshelf - Bruce Lee's philosophy JKD (Jeet Kune Do) rhyming with JK's name thus both being parallel cousins from different cultures..

with Kamal, anything is possible!

'Uttama Villian' audio launch gets bigger and better

During the audio launch of Viswaroopam, Kamal flew from one place to another and released the songs in three different places. Likewise, the Ulaganayagan is said to have invited all the stars, who played opposite him as villains over the years to the audio launch of Uthama Villain and will be honoring them in person.

If that's the case, then, Rajinikanth's name will be first in the list and one got to wait and watch whether the above stuff gets materialized. The audio is scheduled to happen on the 1st March.

Beg to differ. More than 90% of those who watched VR-MBBS did not watch Munnabhai. Some like me didn't watch Munnabhai intentionally after knowing Nammavar is doing VR-MBBS. That said, VR-MBBS was a riot for a lot of us. Still quote from the movie ..

MMA was original flop. VR was a remake. Munnabhai was fantastic. VR was average for someone who had watched Munnabhai. Both mma and vr mbbs were waste of time.

Thala VRMBBS is superhit..AP'la average'a vodunatha vachi or personala padam pidikalenna average'a vodunchinu solluvaanga..I even know people calling sivaji/dasavatharam as average at BO becoz they don't like that movie that much..

For me as far as its entertaining I love it and it doesn't matter whether its remake or not..at the same time too much of remake is hatred which any actor shouldn't do..VRMBBS is good entertaining movie for me...
whenever its telecasted in TV I will watch it if I am free..

Guys .....
My point is different. I see kamal as a creator than just an entertaining actor. VR , Dasa, VV, Virumandi, Anbe sivam .... all these were high standard movies of their own genre. Though VV might be pure GVM script ..... thalaivar had an underplay subtle firmness in his role ..... a rarity for him. But remakes do not have anything to offer other than entertainment value. PK also 90 percent tamil audience might not have seen ..... and remake can become superhit becos of thalaivar in controversial role ...... aanaa peruma yaarukku ? Vidhai vidhachavanukku. He is 60. I pray to my God Kamal Haasar to give my hero Kamal Haasan nalla buthi.

Point taken. Not talking about PK but something like VR-MBBS once a while provides some good entertainment ..

[Cinemarasigan]

Doing remakes once in a while(after 10 originals or so) is ok. Doing remakes at this point of his time does not add any value to his excellent career. In fact it may reduce his image badly.

Dr, totally agree with you....yaaro potta vidhayile pazham saapidara state laam ivar eppavo thaandi poitaaru. So, hopefully, he won't do PK remake. I too see him more as a creator.

shabba!! avar antha kaalathula irunthae remakes nadichittu thaan irukkaar then and now..by doing remakes he gives chances to other producers,his favourite artists who he cant fit in experimental/different movies as token of love/help..
Our indian heroes are not like Hollywood actors who end up max 20-25 movies in their whole career and acting 1 movie in 3 years..also our fans expects the heroes to provide more movies..how many people are fine with KH acting in experimental movie which takes 3 years in making and finally bombs at BO like heyram..then again next movie after 3 years with BO result unpredictable..

To stay float in market these remakes are necessary as it provides hits mostly which helps him to earn more profits..VRMBBS revived his mass market again after aalavandhaan debacle and its first superhit after thenali..panchathanthiram helped him a bit before VRMBBS..virumandi,PKS,anbesivam,MX were hit/average/flops..compare to waste movie like MMA these remakes are good..too much of experimental movie also not good and too much of remakes also not good..so far he is not doing anything too much..lets stop talking abt PK until its official..

Big audio launch for 'Uttama Villain' on March 1
http://www.sify.com/movies/big-audio-launch-for-uttama-villain-on-march-1-news-tamil-pcrqn9jfgebbf.html

Popular buzz in media circles is that ace villains who ruled Tamil cinema will be honored at the audio launch of Kamal Haasan's Uttama Villain.

When asked, sources close to Thirrupathi brothers have denied it and at the same time they confirmed to us that that Attakkalari dance show will be the highlight of the audio launch.

Uttama Villain audio launch will be happening at Chennai trade center on March 1. Sources say that Ghibran has composed seven songs for the film while two won't be available in the album as it would reveal the story/proceedings of the film.

Eros International who acquired the theatrical rights of Uttama Villain is planning to release the film on April 2.

[irir123]

USV - I don't care what Kamal remade 100 years ago - remaking at this stage after making a near perfect script like VR - the time required to do so - is unwarranted

[Adox]

For a Kamal original script it would take between 1.5 years to 3 to materialize and finally see the light of day. Until then, we should only be content seeing him in vizhas .. so a mix of quickies like UV or something with present day directors like GVM and remakes once a while should keep his fans happy and entertained. GVM has already expressed his desire to meet and work with him .. Dont know what nammavar is really thinking.

[kumarsr]

...so a mix of quickies like UV ......

UV was done Oct last .. assuming it started Mar'14, its about 7-8 months. Thats pretty quick for Kamal's standards .. Papanasam took about 3 months since its a remake. But a Kamal original like VR would have taken a minimum of 1.5-2 years.

[Adox]

Actually I'm not sure when UV was completed .. maybe earlier. Oct was when it was ready to release. Maybe it took 5-6 months .. Now we cant add to time other formalities of having to be able to release .. we now know thats not in his hands.

[Chikatiloan]

USV - I don't care what Kamal remade 100 years ago - remaking at this stage after making a near perfect script like VR - the time required to do so - is unwarranted

How about the amount of stress and emotional toll on him at the time of VR release after strenuous effort in making the movie..not only VR he faced lot of problems during heyram and virumandi as well..more will happen if he makes vaamamaargam or MN becoz most of his original scripts will be controversial in our country..also for films like 10A lot of time and effort is needed but still most of us dont like the movie that much even though its BB..

In one of his interview he told by acting in remakes he can spend time in writing screenplay for his original script..during papanasam he can easily spend time in writing script for his next film because the film doesnt need effort..I guess during MMA shooting he would have written complete script/screenplay for VR in cruise ship but i would prefer him acting in remakes than waste movie like MMA..

Neenga evalavu buthisaaliya irunthaalum whole year moolaiya use panna mudiyaathu..appappa vacation pogura maadhir KH remakes panraar..apdi thaan naan paakuran..but doing too much is not good..1 remake movie out of 5 movies are fine..

venkiram sir...sorry sorry....I didn't give a different meaning or didn't mean like that....there are some music directors and singers who have admitted they have very limited knowledge in front of KH and that they will need to improvise before they can go in front of KH....and the one with Ghibran could be that KH would have liked one aspect of creativity with him which made him to work with him...and I fully agree with your second argument...

[Chikatiloan]

yeah many agree he is very knowledgeable in music and singing but not to be monotonous it would be better if he just sings one song like he has done before..when is the last time SPB or other great singers (except unnai kaanaadhu by SM) has sung his movie songs..

completely agree with you..if SPB sings one song then think how popular it will be collaborating after a long time and will be additional USP

As far as VR was concerned, he invited that stress and emotional toll by unnnecessarily showing the film to a bunch of radicals even after the Censor board had given a certificate - honestly whoever gave him that idea deserves to be slapped. Had he released the film directly the problem would not have been this severe - he should have instead shown the film to Madam and earned her appreciation - one has got to play one's cards after all.

using these excuses to make another remake is not good - as fans we can at the most force ourselves to watch these remakes - nothing more

Yes . Yes and yes. It was a thoroughly planned atrocity.

[Cinemarasigan]

release date announced .. what else you want now ?? they cant release all the 3 together !

Anban, there should be some problem in releasing a film in April which was completed around October. I felt the Post production works were delayed due to some issues.

[Adox]

Yes . Yes and yes. It was a thoroughly planned atrocity.

You may be more informed and I could be wrong.

But this is what I thought happened - There was warmth in their relationship initially and madam had said she'd like to watch the movie. He was going to personally screen it for her. Then the soreness began due to probably business and rights. There were protests as usual as with any high profile releases. Could have been easily put down if needed but was encouraged/supported by you know who. He thought he could handle it his own and bypassed her. And his over the top appeasement is well known. He decided to screen the movie to them .. They had no intentions of going with him right from start (may have actually been instructed). Infact some left his screening half way and said 'ungala avar (their god) dhan kapathanum'. Worst shuddering vulgar speeches were made by their so called leaders.

Thalaivar decided to fly to LA for a premier when all these were going on and things were actually falling apart .. and was conveyed to him by G. He got back next day and we saw everything from then on ..

Karthi advances, ahead of Kamal Haasan

The release date of the Karthi starrer Komban has been advanced from April 2 to March 27. Produced by Studio Green and to be released by Dream Factory, Komban features Lakshmi Menon and Rajkiran in other pivotal roles.

G.V.Prakash scores the music for this Muthaiah directorial which is expected to be a feast to the masses who dig into rural based fare.

The line-up looks mighty exciting indeed with Vaalu and Komban set for a 27th clash, and then Uttama Villain and Nanbenda touted to clash on the 2nd of April.

[irir123]

if this was true, then I have lost my respect for ppl like Cho - who tacitly stayed neutral in the VR issue - why didn't Hassar come out and say openly it was Madam who insisted on showing it to the '4th century mindset' morons and heathenish(neanderthal) culture leaders?

any other country, this would have invited a national scorn for the likes of Inayatullah (who btw, even now in 2015 is adamant that women cannot be given equal marital rights under shariah!)

[Chikatiloan]

Komban releasing on mar-27th instead of April-2 as planned earlier..this is the advantage of announcing release dates in advance..Now UV and nanbenda were the only 2 movies releasing on April-2..no one will bother abt nanbenda so UV will get maximum screens,udayanidhi will b distributing UV in salem area..he has done for VR as well..

nowadays so many movies are made so its very difficult for any movie to run freely for 30 days..Lingaa on dec-12,pisasu-dec19,Kayal,meagaman,vellaikara durai-dec25,
I,poojai,darling - jan 14, isai-jan29,YA-Feb5,Anegan-Feb13,Sandamaargam-Feb20,Kaakisattai-Feb27..whats happening?no planning,etc
watched anegan sday evening show in namakkal with 70 people,its really a perfect entertainer and if its released during summer holiday or function days it will be big BB..

Pooja S Kumar @PoojaKumarNY · Feb 22
Out the door to travel to Bangalore for the dance rehearsals for #uttamavillain music release!

[avavh3]

I’m deeply honoured to be working with Kamal sir, states Pooja Kumar.
http://images.vuin.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Im-deeply-honoured-to-be-working-with-Kamal-sir-states-Pooja-Kumar.jpg

Pooja Kumar who was last seen in ‘Viswaroopam‘ reveals that she’s more of a fan of Kamal rather than a co-actor. Here’s what she revealed about our Ulaganayagan, “He’s so humble and welcoming to everybody. I could see in his eyes the excitement about what he does in cinema and that sort of inspired me to strive for excellence”.

She also added that, “It was challenging in a different regard. I’m just a newcomer and to perform alongside a legend that has spent over five decades in cinema was quite nerve-wracking. The bigger challenge was to actually develop a relationship and act alongside with him especially when it comes to bringing out the chemistry between us,When I saw what he was doing, I felt motivated to prove my work. The fan in me automatically was replaced by the character I had essayed. Also, I was not just seeing the actor Kamal Haasan to get swayed as a fan. I was also seeing him as director, producer and so many other roles he takes up on sets,”

When quizzed about ‘Uttama Villain‘ here’s more of what she revealed,

“In ‘Uttama Villain’, I play a character from a different era. I play a non-Tamil-speaking modern-day actress, who speaks chaste Tamil :confused2: The role also gave me an opportunity to do three different dance set-pieces – a commercial number, another one set in an earlier period and then, dance choreography as part of a stage play.It was challenging to do all these in a single film. I’m a trained dancer, and when I couldn’t get an opportunity to showcase my talent in ‘Vishwaroopam’, I was upset. But my role in ‘Uttama Villain’ had a lot of dancing to do,”

Pooja concluded saying that, she’s looking forward to the release of ‘Uttama Villain’. ‘Uttama Villain‘ stars Pooja Kumar, Andrea Jeremiah, Parvathi Menon, Parvathy Nair, Jayaram and Urvashi in important roles.

[avavh3]

It's official - The Oscar stamp of approval for Uttama Villain
Feb 23, 2015
Kamal has always been a frontrunner in bringing international quality into Indian films. Be it the technology or hiring the best, Kamal was the first and will be. For the soon to be released Uttama Villain, Kamal has worked with a popular name, Craig Mann for sound mixing.

The added affair is, Craig Mann has bagged the coveted Oscar award for Best Sound Mixing, for the film Whiplash. Having worked in films like Paranormal Activity 4, Kamal has rightly partnered with somebody like Craig. No wonder, Uttama Villain trailer's sound design had some amazing work.

And the recent update from team Thurrupathi Brothers is Uttama Villain's high profile audio launch will happen at the Chennai Trade Centre on the first of March. The wait is almost over ! Time to celebrate and get awed by Ulaganayagan.

Kamal Haasan is a delight to work with
The best way to carry on that good man’s legacy is to make films like he did, love cinema like he did, and unearth talent like he did. K Balachanderis frozen forever in Uttama Villain on celluloid,' Uttama Villain director Ramesh Arvind tells Rediff.com contributor Praveen Sundaram.

Ramesh Arvind, a veteran actor in Kannada and Tamil cinema will be making his directorial debut in Tamil with Kamal Haasan’s Uttama Villain.

Incidentally, his first film in Kannada (Rama Shama Bhama – in 2005) was also with Haasan. It was the remake of Balu Mahendra’s Tamil film Sati Leelavati.

Aravind, who has acted in more than 120 films in all South Indian languages, is, like Haasan, a K Balachander protégé. He has also acted in two Hindi films, Aur Ek Prem Kahani and Mumbai Express.

He talks to Rediff.com contributor Praveen Sundaram about Uttama Villain.
Did you choose this project to make your debut as a director in Tamil or did Kamal Haasan pick you?

Two years ago, sometime in March 2013, Kamal Haasan asked me if I remembered a subject we had discussed once, and said, ‘I want you to handle it’.

So I picked it up and have focused only on Uttama Villain for the last two years.

Did you have many brainstorming sessions with Kamal Haasan or was it a bound script and you just had to go on the floors and direct it?

It is his story, his screenplay. But any script develops when it is bounced off others, and I was a big bounce board I think.

It is finely detailed. The next one year went into executing it, which was basically the job that I did.
The trailer appears to be a tribute to the late K Balachander…

Yes. The next trailer which we will release on March 1 with the audio release will be a tribute to KB Sir. We are what we are because of him -- Kamal Sir, I, or any of the other actors introduced by him.

Incidentally, his character’s name in Uttama Villain is Maargadarshi, meaning guide or mentor. That is what he was for us in real life. He introduced me as an actor and his last film was with us.

The best way to carry on that good man’s legacy is to make films like he did, love cinema like he did, and unearth talent like he did.

He showed us how to approach cinema. The making of Uttama Villain is a documentary tribute to the man because you will see him alive, kicking in full emotion.

You will watch KB Sir talking, walking, and crying in the film. KB Sir is frozen forever in Uttama Villain on celluloid.

Has Crazy Mohan written the dialogues?

No, they are written by Kamal, but Crazy was part of the discussions initially. We even thought of having him as our dialogue writer.

Then the film took another direction. It was another kind of humour, it had musical stuff going on and so we thought it would be unfair to use his great talent in this kind of a musical film.
The cast includes Andrea, Pooja Kumar, Jayaram, all familiar faces associated with a Kamal Haasan film. Did you cast them for the comfort factor?

One’s priority is always talent in any department. If the talent comes with goodwill and friendship, then nothing like it.
A talented guy, who also is a good friend, solves a lot of problems on the set. In any work you do, not only cinema, you want to collaborate with friends.

But like I said, talent will be the first priority.

What was your experience of working with music composer Gibran?

He is terrific! I was floored by his musical knowledge obviously, but his humility and attitude towards work are amazing!

I watched Gibran in action when I visited Chennai. I witnessed the Vishwaroopam Part 2 composition being done. I observed how he was operating with Kamal Sir, the comfort level he had. There was no looking back after that. It was a musical experience of another kind.

Uttama Villain is another ball game in terms of music, visually too, of course.
Craig Mann, the Canadian re-recording mixer, has worked in Uttama Villain. Incidentally, he won the Academy Award for Whiplash earlier this week.

I’ve been getting quite a few surprises in the last two weeks. I did a Kannada film called Accident for which I teamed up with composer Ricky Kej and then went on to collaborate in three Kannada films with him. And then this man suddenly lands up with a Grammy!

And then just two weeks later, I hear that Craig Mann, who did the sound mixing for Uttama Villain, has been awarded an Oscar!

We are happy that we have an Oscar winner in our credit list.

Have you used actors from Karnataka too, since you come from there?

Lot of actors, actually! The first 50 days of shooting happened in Karnataka and the whole film was supposed to be shot in Karnataka because my network was there and I had my team there.

Unfortunately, the worker’s strike started and we had to move to Chennai. When we were filming in Bengaluru, a lot of local talent was part of it.

Many popular Kannada faces will be speaking Tamil with Kamal Haasan.
Could Uttama Villain be a Tamil-Kannada bi-lingual or is the cultural milieu very different?

It was meant to be, but then there were logistics problems. Making a film is not a problem at all, but financial aspects are involved.

It has to be lucrative on both sides and we couldn’t arrive at a quick decision then. So now it is in Tamil and Telugu with English subtitles. But I am just waiting to do a Kannada and Tamil next.

And I’m sure you would want Kamal Hassan to be in it…

(Laughs) Of course, that would be fantastic!

Kamal is a delight. It’s delightful to have an actor of his calibre and who is so involved.

Would you like to direct more Tamil films now?

Yes! Not only in Tamil but in any language in the world which offers me a good project, something creative, and innovative. I would love to collaborate with the best minds in the industry.

When does the film release?

In the first or second week of April.

No one heard the song yet..doctors view is based on the track list..
right from the beginning i said from my guess this movie will be classical but not commercial..so far the trailer & track list confirms the same..since the movie has 2 stories running in parallel one story might be classical and another might be commercial..i am just speculating..

[Chikatiloan]

The good thing the crew does is that they are trying to give more information in 1st trailer and track list..when we hear the song and watching 2nd trailer we will get much more information without revealing the story to make the audience ready before watching the movie..
puriyaamal pogurathukku vaaipu irukkunu therinchikuttu before hand konjam puriya vaikiraanga pola..

[irir123]

I got VIP pass with invite letter dears. Vayiru eriyudhaaaaaaa ? ? ? ? .?



as Kamal fans we are rational, open-minded, logical with a little bit of common sense - ungalukky VIP pass kidachha, yengalukkellaam kidachha madhiri dhaane! you will listen to the music and watch the film as we all will as well - having coffee with oatmeal as I say this - enjoy doctor sir- elloraiyum kettadha sollunga!

[radiochandra1977]

Sure ........ I am damn excited about the prospect. But vey sceotical about the movie. Too much of kamal all over it.

[Adox]

Cool ..

[Adox]

Most seem contextual ... not apt for solo listening. Got to see the response.

[ramdas2005]

Seems to be in sync with the musical undertone of the film as mentioned by Ramesh Aravind in an interview. Also sets the stage to what the movie could be...

[nickraman]

Musically very good from Ghibran's stable. But for those looking for an Anirudh musical or peppy saangs like Harris, Yuvan, etc, this is not your album.

Mostly contextual. Should make sense with visuals. Hope it's not overboard Kamal as Dr ji says. Konjam bayam. Yerkenave Eros ku nariya losses irunthunchu. :( Hope UV saves them.

[Adox]

On a second pass, going by the musicals, the movie could have a strong emotional content. Although situational, some tunes were quite nice. Should be a good one/interesting along with the visuals ..

Sony Music are idiots to put a utube version when their intention was to release an itunes version like their previous releases. Check gaana.com, else torrents.

UTTAMA VILLAIN SONGS REVIEW

Review by : Behindwoods Review Board
Album Release Date : Mar 01,2015
CAST AND CREW1 of 2
Production: Kamal Haasan, N Lingusamy
Cast: Andrea, K Balachander, K Viswanath, Kamal Haasan, Parvathi Menon, Pooja Kumar
Direction: Ramesh Arvind
Screenplay: Kamal Haasan
Story: Kamal Haasan
Music: M Ghibran
Background score: M Ghibran
Cinematography: Shyam Dutt
Dialogues: Kamal Haasan
Editing: Vijay Shankar
One of the most awaited films, Uttama Villain starring Kamal Haasan, directed by Ramesh Aravind and produced by Thirrupathi Brothers in association with Raaj Kamal Films International. M. Ghibran has composed 7 songs, 7 OST’s and 3 Karaoke.
Kaadhalaam Kadavul Mun
Singers: Padmalatha
Lyrics: Kamal Haasan
Beginning with the hang drums and dwelling into a scintillating voice with brilliant gamakas, a carnatic number that is sure to be used for Bharathanatyam ballets. Haunting chorus, rim shots on the hand drum, nuances like setting a ghost note on the chord progression by tingling the harp, minute detailing with accentuating effects with the Kanjira, Mridangam and chimes are all pure ingenuity.
Love’aa Love'aa
Singers: Kamal Haasan,Sharanya Gopinath,Anitha, Nivas
Lyrics: Viveka
Psychedelic chants, electronic pop, trance like EDM and quirky voices along with purposefully programmed jarring beats are this song's strong elements. Kamal's range and Sharanya's Usha Uthup like rendition add juxtaposing flavors to this uniquely sounding track. The Loveeaa Loveaa portion is addictive and will very soon develop repeated listens. The acoustic guitarist sets the pace and establishes the soul of the song. The rhythm breakdown in the second BGM is surprising and enterprising. Ghibran is exploring beyond the horizons.
Utthaman Arimugam
Singers: Kamal Haasan, Subbu Arumugam
Lyrics: Subbu Arumugam
The Morsing gives the ideal start to a Villupaatu that's busy telling a story. The group singing, manually created lively rhythms by bhols, Kamal's soulful voice especially in the thisra nadai, is inspiring. The track effortlessly changes from Mayamalagowla scale to Shankarabharanam base. The lyrics going along with the fast paced tune is foot tapping. The rhythm change towards the end with an octave higher is the goosebumps giving moment. An authentic ballad.
Saagaavaram
Singers: Kamal Haasan
Lyrics: Kamal Haasan
This composition is an outrageous cry. Ektara to kindle and Kamal's range of of being a soprano is jaw-dropping. Begins in Harikambhoji and deviates to alien notes in between. A light-classical composition treated with unusual elements like using electronic beats and playing accents with the grand piano. Sounds of the sword, an allegro for the group singers and the magnanimous chenda melam are ambitious.
Iraniyan Naadagam
Singers: Kamal Haasan, Rukmini Ashok Kumar
Lyrics: Kamal Haasan
A monologue driven by a sing-song pattern. A potpourri of genres, involving ball room music to carnatic to opera to hard-rock to what not? Possibly a visually driven piece, establishing a journey. An experimental, progressive track that has to grow into you. The lead vocals follow the wonderful carnatic touch which has flavours of Shakarabharanam with slight deviated notes.There is so much to notice every time you listen to it. A highly orchestrated track with brass sections, syncopated rhythms and deadly bass lines. The usage of Theyyam-exclusive instruments like chenda, kuzhal, perumabara and utuku are top class. A listening experience than to be termed as a song.
Mutharasan Kadhai
Singers: Kamal Haasan
Lyrics: Kamal Haasan
Mridangam and English horn in a single song? An animation of emotions ranging from cartoon like funny portions to intriguing arrangements creating fear. With Sofia symphonic orchestra chipping in, this song has all the elements to be called purely international. The condescending arpeggios in the preludes become a strain, but the song situation might justify it. Timpani, string sessions, use of Celtic instruments and a wide variety of instruments make it a power-packed track. Absence of a set rhythm makes the song a little hard to follow. Every element in the song has a purpose and reason. The folkish ending is a relief.
Utthaman Kadhai
Singers: Kamal Haasan
Lyrics: Kamal Haasan
From a Pallavi to a sudden outburst of tunes and some dialogue driven sequences in the middle, Uttaman Kadhai narrates a story using woodwinds, brass and strings. Keeping symphony as the foundation, the composer has jumbled with a cluster of genre's. Needs repeated listening to get a hold of it. A therukoothu that is a quintessential masterpiece. From tapping the strings to acapella to tune progression, a tiresome listen that'll creatively challenge you.
Utthama Villain Theme
Singers: N/A
Lyrics: N/A
Song mastering at its best. Kamal’s haunting voice, killer sarvalagu of the percussion, didjeridoo and some unnameable drone pipe comprehending Kamal's Tuvan (overtone) like singing, are a whole new experience for the Indian ears.
Guru & Sishya
Singers: N/A
Lyrics: N/A
An instrumental track that's based on ambiance music centered around the Polka and the Waltz. If the visuals are comprehending, then this OST is bound to turn heads.
Father & Daughter
Singers: N/A
Lyrics: N/A
This track is no less for all the Zimmer like scores you come across in Hollywood films. A full-fledged orchestra with French horns to Double bass to every part of the Sofia Chamber Orchestra. Ghibran is the Indian Yanni.
Utthaman & Karpagavalli
Singers: N/A
Lyrics: N/A
The beautiful Grand Piano and the Contrabassoon along with clarinet to get along with the strings? Another orchestrated symphony that'll make you feel light.
Father & Son
Singers: N/A
Lyrics: N/A
The softer version of Iranya nadagam. Pianos, chimes, humming and mrithyumjayaho chants create a stir.
Letter From & To Yamini
Singers: N/A
Lyrics: N/A
Head singing, melancholic Pianos and the symphonic arrangements take you on a soulful trip of pure devotion. The flute in the end is a new addition to the album.
Dr. Aparna
Singers: N/A
Lyrics: N/A
Santoor, harps and Pianos merge to give a feel of letting it go. Another OST that will beautify the visuals.
Verdict: One of its kind gems in Tamil cinema music ! 3.75 ( 3.75 / 5.0 )

Wow!!!...Certainly giving the Wow effect...Expectation yegira vaikudhu...

[Chikatiloan]

For me songs are brilliant..its not usual peppy like many of Anirudh/harris albums which is quite repetitive..UV music is very fresh,out of box work yet superb to listen from talented music director..
Regarding 2nd trailer i didnt like that much and BGM also average..1st trailer is unbeatable...

An update from dinamalar

[kumarsr]

Songs are not peppy mass numbers (on expected lines). But certainly intriguing and I am sure it will blend well in the movie. Many songs beg for multiple listens. Gibran is talented and a good choice.

[kumarsr]

I think the 8th century portion is entirely a musical

[irir123]

UV is a blockbuster - my gut instinct tells me - coz I think our audiences have at last begun accepting novel ideas - and right time for a complex theme from Kamal to entertain us

[kumarsr]

I think it will be an interesting movie....Not sure if it will be a blockbuster...especially outside of Chennai and other metros. People have been mostly fed an unending diet of stereotypical movies (good vs bad, with the good played by the the lead), so not sure if anything innovative by a leading hero would be a blockbuster in the near term...

[Arvind Srinivasan]

A very likeable offbeat album in my honest opinion. No song except "Loveaa" plays to the gallery and even that is quite enjoyable. Kamal has put in commendable amount of effort in each of his songs. As a singer I am able to appreciate the ease with which he brings in certain nuances which are quite difficult to execute. Easily the best singer amongst actors. The real icing on the cake were the OSTs though. Great stuff. Especially "A letter from and to yamini" and Father and daughter.

Only kamal fans expect his movies to be classical and also blockbuster..10A film is BB but many people blamed KH by saying he is inclining towards commerical..Anbe sivam,heyram movie is pure classic but many people are sad that it didnt do well in BO forgetting those kind of movies will not do well anywhere..ex..the shawshank redemption is flop at time of release but it had max viewing in DVD,etc..same with Anbe sivam for us..
either classical or BB edhaavathu onnu thaan kidaikum..Virumandi is not superhit or BB but its a hit..I will be very very happy if UV is hit with little profit to producers/distributors/theater owners..anyway he has papanasam to back-up..

:cheer::cheer::cheer: absolutely awesome album. looking at the paper one would think pretty much ella pattum kamal - salippu thattividumnu. and no it does not. all the songs are sung thru the character. music and songs themselves are refreshing - saagavaram and iraniyan naadagam my pick from the first listening

especially the choreo for iraniyan nadagam that comes in the trailer 2..goosebumps

10 am ... landed in chennai
11 am ..... brunch at saravana bhavan , ashok pillar
12 noon .... pseudo namaskaram at parents house
1 noon .... kamalians party with beer at Gokulam park
5 30 pm .... Dressed up in full suite, arrived at venue with MIP pass
5 45 pm .... Realised that MIP was April fool on March first. Seating was like how a thottakkaran has to watch T.V. thru the window
6 pm ... Realised that going in full suite was self inflicted insult
Threw away the blazer into the car.
6 15 pm .... event started. Good show by Partiban. Nice looking kamal with curly short hair.
Super kamal intro on stage.
6 30 ... Mild engorgement of peripheral venous channels with blood on watching Poosa Kumaru dance
7 30 to 9 30 ..... mega budget event with big celebrities like Mouli, Raj kiran, Shanmugarajan, his brother etc.
2nd trailer ..... super. But film looks like conceptual relationship based , emotionally charged with Kamal centricity written all over it and plethora of kamal jaalraas in slapstick roles.

Ghibran, the humble young man who composed the sensational music for Uttama Villain was keen to mention that it was Kamal Haasan's experience and perfect briefing that helped him give a good output.

"Kamal sir's voice has got a huge range. I therefore did not have set any restrictions or limitations to the notes when I composed."

[avavh3]

Mild engorgement of peripheral venous channels with blood :rotfl3:

[mappi]

@2m3s there is a wonderful mirror shot. Think I got to start collecting and documenting these fabulous shots. I simply love them.

[irir123]

+1 but ipppa irukira trend-la ippadi oru album tfm-la ethirpapathu romba kastham..IR/ARR kitta poyiruntha veroru vadivathila vanthirikkum..konjam pala idangalil konjam noisy-ya than irukku but enaku pidichirukku...


after VR's release debacles, KH's choice of Ghibran is most likely for obvious reasons - very PC - plus as a newcomer, he wouldnt have charged much - so budget wise smart move - konjam talent irundhaaley podhhum Kamal can extract the max - he could do that with Deva, so Ghibran is obviously more talented so talent plus economically thrifty decision.

Am yet to listen to the album - but its unfair to expect an IR class from a newcomer - 'karutmathhoor' and rest of Virumandi are stratospheric level class - no comparison

Completely agree with your thoughts @irir123...all the best for the movie....hope it opens more avenues for Ghibran...

[venkkiram]

@2m3s there is a wonderful mirror shot. Think I got to start collecting and documenting these fabulous shots. I simply love them.

Spot on. I also wondered how the girl not seen in the mirror image :)

I liked very much the shot @1m12s. Nice angle they chosen.

The two cricket play sequences came in different places in this trailer. If you notice them, its a same sequence but the later part of it came first and starting one came as second. Not sure why they kept in that way in trailer :)

[mappi]

You can actually see a bit of her, a very tiny bit ...

http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachment.php?attachmentid=4018&d=1425313193

About the mirror image, there is something about the wall painting and the way Manoranjan is sitting and then turns his face. There is a peculiar rotation of dimensions in this scene.

Well, for the circket part, its just how the footage was cut for the trailer, like to show the social life of the Artist Manoranjan - a broken marriage, hysterical kid who throws the ball at his dad quite vigorously, etc ... let us not speculate more and wait for the film (LoL).

And @1m12s, is it a real instrument ?

Spl. mentiong to the "Vaal Sooruwing scene" *winks*

venkkiram - amaidhi amaidhi! konjam porunga - ARR, Deva, Vidyasagar et al were all several movies 'veterans' by the time they worked with Kamal - Ghibran is relatively new compared to all of them - having said that, I will comment on the album after listening to it.

just like how a certain level of trust is built up after listening to IR or ARR on their music-making abilities, likewise trust is on Kamal that he won't disappoint in extracting something from Ghibran

VenkiRam - Agree with you on most points. But some tunes were already expressive w/o visuals. There was some sadness and emotions associated with them that I liked.

I'm not into any comparisons with IR or ARR. I heard them with an open mind and it does appear Gibran has the talents.

[hattori_hanzo]

Kaetaachu Kaettachu!! Kadhalaam Kadavul Mun, Uthama Villain Theme, Mutharasan and Lovea are my picks. Got to listen to the other tracks more...A nice novel attempt by Ghibran. I did not expect so many songs/instrumental pieces from him. Thought its going to be a 3-4 track album like UPO, Vishwaroopam

[irir123]

First listen over

Ghibran has definitely taken TFM to a different level!

As an HCIRF this is the kind of soundtrack I would have loved to come out of IR's stable!

That either Kamal managed to extract it from Ghibran or it is Ghibran's repertoire by itself - is very heart-warming and welcome.

Now - the scores have the feel of Danny Elfman in parts - very much influenced by scores for Spiderman, 300 etc - there is a brief section that sounds a bit like Goodwill Hunting theme score - I would say its a quasi-original score and the period part score has a very Disney like fantasy feel so am anticipating heavy use of CGI and other SFX.

the tunes themselves do not stand out - as Venkkiram says - however what lacks in melody is made up with both the orchestral parts as well as the production quality.

the Western/European classical elements are very Hollywood generic - in the sense Ghibran has not done anything unique to merit something like his signature - but yet, it is a huge step ahead

btw "Letter to and from Yamini" is a direct ripoff from IR's "puthham pudhu poo poothadho" - the unpicturised song from Thalapathy!

படத்திற்கான முன்னோட்டங்கள், பாடல்களை கேட்கையில் உத்தமவில்லன் அழுத்தமான கதையம்சம் பொருந்திய படைப்பாக இருக்கும் என நினைக்கிறென். இன்னொருவர் தயாரிப்பில் இதுபோன்று நகைச்சுவை அல்லாத படைப்பினை கடைசியாக எடுத்தது ஆளவந்தான் மற்றும் அன்பே சிவம் என நினைக்கிறென். இரண்டுமே தோல்வி. மற்ற சீரியஸ் படங்களை கமல் தனது சொந்தத் தயாரிப்பிலேயே வைத்துக் கொண்டார். உத்தமவில்லன் அவ்வகையில் முக்கியமான ஒன்று. அதைக் கருத்தில் வைத்து என்னுடைய அபிப்ராயங்களை சொன்னேன் சார்.

Totally disagree with highlighted part..By looking at so many interviews I guess Ramesh aravindh is not jalra,he is a fan of KH but doesn't like KH involving in his department..UV direction is purely by him..for 1st trailer also he didn't like the outcome and he gave lot of inputs on how the trailer has to be..
Also kamal discussed about UV story 3 years before to Ramesh aravindh and asked him to direct..he rejected by that time but kamal requested him to direct after 2 years which he accepted..Ramesh is busy artist in kannada but he left behind everything and spent 1 year for this movie for being a puppet?

[radiochandra1977]

Difficult to put exact percentage. But my assessment would be KH 85 percent .... RA 15 percent. Would be safe to call it ghost direction. And about Jaalra ...... HE IS hard core kamal jaalra. Period. I saw him in Alwarpet office waiting outside KH office room like a gardener.

[Chikatiloan]

KH definitely needs to clear this doubt on "ghost direction"..for me 10A is directed by KSR and not ghost directed..if KH directed that movie there wont be "ulaganayaganae song" and it wont be commercial & BB as well..For me its his screenplay that is so detailed makes us feel he has directed the movie..

[radiochandra1977]

KSR is an accomplished commercial director. So 50 percent role we can say

one of my friend comment for UV and Sagavaram song

"Uttama Villain album is not the regular run-of-the-mill kind.
The Music will take you far away from masala songs..Truely an international standard..!!Saagavaram is beautifully written with jaw dropping lyrics...!! Mohamaad Ghibran: you are the man behind the "villain".. :)"

Sir RA directed 6 movies in kannada & respected well by critics for movies directed by him..RA acts/directs atleast 2 movies in year in kannada,for directing 15% he has spent 1 year & spoil his career? he is KH fan not adimai..sometimes I feel we r not giving even inch of respect to folks collaborating with KH..
UV music kooda KH potta maadhri pesuraanga sila per..

Graphics/VFX in trailer2 is not upto the mark..especially the river scene & kamal singing with moon in backdrop..hope this footage were taken during partial completion..

Ha ha .... it will be a feel good happy ending wholesum family entertainer if and only of the 2 trailers and audio belong to some other film and was released as UV by mistake.
