Dasavatharam Review

Dasavatharam Review

As the Name implies kamal and director k.s ravi kumar has taken many avatars in releasing the film finally after many hurdles starting from story theft issue and other court issues which created a silly hype and propaganda.

Finally to start with the movie review, kamal as done everything starting from story, screenplay and dialogue. However k.s ravi kumar just seems to be just be a director only for namesake.Kamal has tried to spin a better story with the ten characters. But he has failed in providing a viewers with a steady story line. Hats off to the astonishing make up provided.

The story starts off in 12 th century when the chola king(napolean) forces kamal( nambi -1st character) to worship only lord siva. when he refuses he is thrown into sea alive with the statue of lord vishnu. Technical aspects starting from temple to transportation of nambi along with the idol were done better.but there seems some lack of brilliancy in potraying the scenario.Napolean tries to convince the viewers in providing the king like appearance. However his slang of tamil does not suit him as a tamil king of olden days.

Asin has tried to portray herself as a true wife to nimbi charcter. But nothing special makes the charcter stay alive in the minds of audience.

With Nambi thrown in water, the scene moves to the current era. Kamal enters into his second character(govindaraj) the scientist who is working in U.S. He tries to prevent the evil fellows from capturing the bio-weapon. The vayal( the bioweapon) finds its way to India and kamal chases it along with Fletcher(the third kamal-the villain).

I would like to mention one comedy over here. A monkey which is used for testing purpose escapes from the lab by pressing the exact password which release the cage. Funny ah. Logic less tamil and cinema never minds or cares about such silly blunbers.

The old lady charcter portrayed by kamal is brilliant. However she has less role to do. The ultimate hero and comedian of the movie is balram naidu which is played by kamal. He uses the telugu slang to creates a humorous environment. Otherwise the story lacks its pace and simply keeps moving on with asin always shouting perumale, perumale. Hmmmmmmmmm poor girl. Avatar singh the Punjabi pop singer has less role to do. However he is utilized for the oh oh sanam song sequence.

The other ultimate logic less scene is avatar singh cancer gets cured when he is shot by a bullet. Brilliant cancer research!!!!. I hope the cancer institute take all its pantients and shoot them to get cured of cancer.

The Japanese and sc kamal makes a guest appearance and deos not add to the storyline in a efficient way. Finally the much hyped tsunami scene which was boosted highly for its graphics was not to the mark. Another scene I would like to pinpoint is kamal and asin makes some romance immediately after tsunami. With such grave things around how can one make romance and simply debate upon a issue. Hmmmmmmmm. This seems like when you met with a accident, you are telling the doctor in the hospital how the accident happened.

With a thin story line and mix of entertainment the film may have already made huge collections. However for ardent kamal fans this film may be a little blow except for the much hyped animation and excellent make-up…………..

Overall, the film is worth watching once in theater if you are neutral. Leave your brains out and go looking for an entertainer. You will not be disappointed. Dasavatharam is meant to be an exhibition of Kamal's talents and it truly is a grand exhibition.
