Plot: Uyarntha Manithan is a classic movie on its own.It is Sivaji's 125th Film. His acting is superb.As one watches the movie,just observe Nadigar Thilagan's dressing and costumes.It was the fashion of those years.All the supporting artistes like Major,Asogan,Vanishree,Sowkar Janaki and Sivakumar (I think this is his first movie)all did their best.The direction was superb.In one scene, Sivaji suspects Sivakumar and beats him up. During the beating up scene, look at Sivaji's facial expressions and his body language, it was really marvelous. Asogan is another good actor. I do not know why his talents were wasted in MGR movies.However in this movie his portrayal was superb especially in his passing away scene. Uyarntha Manithan is a must see movie.
