Of course Captain America: Civil War is on our radar this month. See other movies and TV shows we're excited about in IMDb Picks.

The vision of Kamal Haasan as a writer has been more detailed and way advanced this around than this previous movies. Even though Uttama Villain has a very simple story with an overload of common clichés as well as stated by kh itself in few of his pre-release interviews, the script stands out because of the greatly woven scenes that speak about immortality.
Many people who had watched the preview shows had claimed that Uttama Villain is a 'Blockbuster' material and it belongs to the series of Kamal Haasan's commercial entertainers and not his grand list of experimental movies. True? The movie has tried to be a commercial entertainer, but has failed and is rather a great experimental attempt.
Acting: Wouldn't be surprised if Kamal Haasan wins his 4th National Award for the Best Actor for this movie. He has lived his roles! In addition, all supporting actors have given a performance of their lifetimes. Overall, the acting in this movie is one of the finest in Tamil Cinema and it definitely is soul-stirring
