A very good base script, good songs,annoying background music, lot of junk animation, totally sloppy screenplay, literally zero choreo, jokes that will make you cry, ear blasting sounds, unwanted and totally Hollywood-copied stunts, mediocre make-up, unbelievable pre-launch marketing and one man’s idiosyncrasy – Well that the movie in short.
Dasavataram is Dr.Kamal Hassan’s much hyped up latest movie, in which he does 10 different characters. The movie had so much hype and media attention that even personalities like M.Karunanidhi, Amitabh Bachan and Jackie Chan were brought in for the audio release. But we should have easily predicted about the content when the movie’s release date was postponed due to a trivial thing like IPL.
He portrayed 10 different roles in the film as:
Rangaraj Nambi, the Vaishnav Brahmin Govind, the US Scientist Fletcher, American Terrorist Balaram Nadar, the Security Officer A Japanese Fighter Kamakshi, the Old Woman Avatar Singh, the Sikh Singer Punyakoti, the Dalit leader Bush, the American President and Khareemulla, the Tall Man
The movie starts with a verbose speech by Kamal Hasan in scientist's get up. He says that there is relation for every calamity in this universe quoting 'Chaos Theory' and takes the story to 12th century AD where Rangaraj Nambi, a Vaishvaite Brahmin was drowned alive in sea by the Saivaite rule 2nd Kulothunga Chola. (Idea to establish would be-People used to fight with differences of Vaishnav and Shaiva theories. And now people are fighting for supremacy!!!-but that was not established with clarity). The story comes to the present from then. Govind, a scientist discovers a bio-virus and the terrorists plan to grab that from him for supremacy. He keeps on escaping from them taking the virus in a vial. He loses that in a dramatic situation and moves till Chidambaram in Tamilnadu in search of that. He meets a girl Lakshmi there and runs along with her escaping from terrorists and also from police those assume him to be a terrorist. Finally what happens to the virus and how it gets deactivated is the theme.
And as everything ends fine, the viewer is left at his own mercy pondering whether he got all the 10 Kamal’s – or oops!! did He miss one ??
My final verdict : Well the movie has a solid theme and some very good acting but lacks the hyped up class and doesn’t deliver as per expectations. The animations and graphics are a total waste of money and play detrimental role but again some of the special effects like multiple Kamal’s in the same scene fighting with each other are really good. So finally I would say - Do watch the movie , but with less expectations.
