After a two year marathon in the making,,,dasavatharam has finally hit the screen.With a buoyant force of technical team,,it is kamal hassan all the way. Reported to be the costliest movie ever in Indian cinema history... Dasavatharam has all the ingredients to be a super hit..with kamal being the major attraction.
The main protagonist of the movie(Govindh) discovers a deadly virus.Now his mission to safeguard it from the grab of the baddies.Analyzing the characters the best performs comes from Balram Naidu.. the RAW officer.He will hav u in splits with his funny dialogues and his slang of tamil.Kamal as George Bush is simply outstanding.His body language and mannerisms is perfect.Make up wise.. the japanese man is impressive of all with no trace of kamal in it.Cinematographer Ravivarman's work is a major boost to the film and has given a hollywood finishing to the movie.In such a movie where "acting" is a primary plot..asin hardly gets anything to perform.She simply struggles to talk the "Brahmin Tamil".Mallika Sherawath's role in the movie very lucid...i.e to add the much needed glam quotient,MS baskar tries to do his part in comedy but he hardly tickels u.

Special effects and CG deserve a special mention ,,,especially The tsunami scene work was laudable.Despite all these massive efforts kamal fails to integrate about 3 to 4 roles in the main crux of the story.The logic at a few scenes is ridiculous(eg...HOW CAN U CURE CANCER WITH A GUN SHOt,,,,BUSH ASKING WAT IS Nacl)))dasavatharam looks a like a platform to showcase kamals skills rather than a natural cinema product.

12th century scene has no really significance to the movie.Kamal could hav workled more on screenplay which is devoid of twists and sub plots.In contrast to KAmal's classics lik nayagan,indian,devar magan...dasa,,,lacks in content and string climax....




bottom line: kamal ,kamal and kaml all the way..



verdict:::: Dasa... is an entertaining extravangaza yet it is uninteresting
