Uttama Villain is a good film. Especially I think it would have been the India's answer to Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman.
Interestingly uttama villain has some similarities with bird man. With due respect I don't think its copied or an inspiration. But Uttama Villain lack what bird man had. A visionary /extra ordinary director like Alejandro and a great technical crew.
Uttama villain doesn't come together as a cohesive whole. Not able to communicate with the audience sometimes, a beat missing. I think problem is the crew which Kamal Hassan choose to bring his vision to screen especially director of uttama villain. And also Kamal Hassan always caters to wrong audience (current generation of Tamil audience),because of that he has to compromise the quality of his vision ,thus final product doesn't satisfy neither of the audience(eg:Hey ram, Aalavandhan, Anbe Sivam, Kuruthipunal, Virumaandi) Critic Baradwaj Rangan said "Kamal Haasan's writing is so dense, overstuffed and layered. It's always a question whether directors can come up with the kind of wit and timing needed to fully make the transition from page to screen. Best Kamal Haasan movies are probably locked up inside his head, where they reside in the most perfect possible manner."
