Dasavatharam - A Review

At last, Dasavatharam is screened. A movie made for nearly 2.5 years and thats the first mistake that Kamal & K.S. Ravikumar made - I would say.

The story is that christian fletcher (An american - one of Kamal's 10 avataram) chases to get a biological bomb from Govind(Another Avatar) for his personal monetary benefits. The biological bomb kept in a vial if decomposes will kill many million people. Finally fletcher breaks the vial containing the biological bomb, he dies and at the same time Tsunami comes - neutralises the biological bomb reducing the death count from millions to thousands. Asin - the heroine - A brahmin girl tells its the perumal who brought down this death count and Kamal - as usual speaks atheism.

The mistake number two is the story and screen play is extended to show kamal's 10 different characters and the story does not require 10 characters. The avatars will pop all of a sudden and at one point of time you ll become busy in sorting out who is Kamal and Who is not in the movie. Even i got an illusion and saw my neighbour in theatre if he is not one of the avatars in the film.

The chase between fletcher and govind gave a feel of watching Tom & Jerry. Honestly....!!The screen play was very poor. The movie started very seriously showing the famous war between saivas & vaishiyas. The dialogues of those scene carried Sujatha's signature. As it went - the dialogues smelled Crazy's comedy and finally Kamal's pen bored the show. No body knows whats the message of the movie finally. really.its true.

I dont know who gave the idea. Himesh or Devisri prasad should not have scored music for this sort of movies. I would say they should have chosen Vidhyasagar. He would have made it commercial and atleast people would have said "paatu nalla irukku pa" when they come out of the theatres.

Another thing that screwed up the flim was the very very poor graphics. Even "viral sapra paiyan" kooda will tell - this is graphics.

Finally Perumal silai(Idol) was played like IPL. Definetly VHP will file a case against Kamal and Supreme court will do the third umpiring.....

As far as i know the idol Asin carried with her to all places is called "urchavar". Actually the "urchavar" wont come out of the temple unless there is a festival. But Asin carried the "urchavar" to all the places along with her.First of all girls are not supposed to touch the idol. These are really hurting, insulting the myth of hindus.

Karunanidhi banned the screening of Dan Vinci Code in tamilnadu as he told its hurting the belief of christians. What about this?

For Kamal fans like me - or - those who watched the excellent works of Kamal like - Hey Ram - Anbe Sivam - MiMaKaRaj - Avvai Shanmughi - who went to the theatres with huge expectation could see one more avataram othan than the 10 avatarams - the messavataram (mess:confuse)
