Epic of a movie. Epitome of brilliance.But, But its a Flop.Can you believe it? People who really love cinema should watch this. I don't think any other actor would have done justice to the role he has portrayed. Frame to frame, the clarity, the emotions, eternity, the only actor who can quench my thirst. I don't think any one has the right to review this genius. But then, anyone can appreciate. Appreciate and celebrate our Ullaga Nayagan. As usual a commercial failure. But a cult classic in coming years. For this actor the list grows on. Hope he stops aging, so that i can watch his movie for my life time.
Not sure why I haven't watched this movie earlier. This is a masterpiece. Brilliant writing and acting by the best actor of Indian cinema.
I have always been a big fan of KamalHaasan's writing more than his acting..And This movie proved a point yet again..The interest was clearly setup for me with Ghibran's terrific Background score and organic introduction of the protagonist(Manoranjan)..The story moves into a different dimension as it gradually progresses..Every character had an organic scope and beneath the story likes a "vision" that is kaleidoscopic. They are surely real time reflections of What Kamalhaasan is/was,What he has seen around him,his likes/dislikes of what happens around him is presented in a meta-est format.. If you can get "really" what the intro song duet conveys,you'll surely get to view more colors in the kaleidoscope..There is no justification/preaching but sheer presentation of reality less dramatically from the first shot till climax..I'm not a expert to judge technicalities but all i can say as a viewer is it was a "refreshing" cinematic experience that can never be got in anyone else's film except-"Kamal Haasan"
This movie was indeed emotional and has a lot of flaws in the direction. When I read the reviews posted by few others I felt that is complete nonsense and should review this movie. Movie these days has nothing. Except foul words, item songs and cheap dialogues. I guess you know which movie I am talking about. But this movie is like a lesson and in fact actors who consider doing roles based on background music and who is completely on masala terms should see this movie and learn what they call "acting". Kamal is a legend that is something no one can question. If one does then he is probably the one , you know. Kamal has done really good in few scenes where you never expected . Scenes are there in this movie which you can never ever forget. The movie did not go well in the box office. But indeed was appreciated by many. The reason why the movie did not go well was because the movie did not have santhanam, punch dialogues, item songs, cheap dialogues and of course a lazy storyline. An intellectual will definitely appreciate this movie.

Our tamil audience don't know what is the good movie. they expect 5 songs, 5 mass fights and hero mass entries. otherwise they will make flop a movie. this film was great masterpiece in tamil cinema. if you are mature person and good taste in cinema, you will love this movie.

- TriviaKamal Haasan, whenever he speaks about cancer, he always mentions about the Malayalam actor Sathyan, who suffered blood cancer. Sathyan used to clean up himself from the disease between the shots. He would rush to the hospital, take his treatment and come back for the shot. A similar sequence can be found in this movie when Margadarshi finds blood oozing out from Manoranjan's nose. Manoranjan says, 'give me a short break, i'll clean up and come back'
