Dasavatharam - my review

The movie has amazing screenplay. the way he knitted chaos theory to the story is simply mindblowing (but "The butterfly effect" is best). The movie starts with 12th century clashes between shaivite Vs Vaishnavite. That day, no one's aware of atheism, so they started fight in the name of "Who's powerful god ?".
I expected that story will again surround the concept of theism\atheism and the questions followed by that...thankfully it was not that.(this is the reason "Anbae sivam" bombed at box-office). The scene where Nambi starts from his deep throat the mantra "OM" and end it with "Namo Narayanaya..." Awesome piece of narration. dont miss that part !!!

Then story comes to 21st century, group of scientist inventing a bio-weapon which may destroy half the world within mins(little more than KURUVI movie, which takes 3 hrs to kill people). If they invent something, then there should be villain or group of villains who tries to snatch it and take control of world...so same happens here. A cool villain of recent time, Mr.Fletcher, impresses with his stiff body-language. The make-up is not that good. but then it's been annulled by the acting skills. Fletcher is a cool dude.

The bio-weapon which looks like zippo lighter(flip type), comes to India and Govind follows it, here, the intro of Balram Naidu, tamil-speaking-telugu guy comes into picture. The dialogues gives a fresh air about what real comedy is(not like vadivelu n vivek types). Then story takes a turn from there and hero will be chasing the ayal(thats wat they said in the movie) and eventually all the characters will come into the picture without any lag. as i said the screenplay is brilliant.
Finally, the world will be saved and thats it !!!!!

i liked these things:

1) 10 Characters: it's a damn good imagination and Kamal really worked hard to put into the picture, but the make-up man let him down most of the time.The perfect make-up is for Balram Naidu. Rest all are not that impressive, but Kamal compensates all with his immense acting skills.Kalifulla and Poovaragan deserves a special mention here.

2) Sarcasm: Sarcasm at its best. few samples,
Balram Naidu to Govind: Telugu en mother tongue, deputation la tamilnadu vandu tamil kathukittu naane tamil nalla pesuraen, nee tanjore la pirandu...english la thaan pesuviya???? appuram epidi tamil Vaazhum ?
Govind to his love: Kadavul illainu naan sollala....irunda nalla irukumnu thaan solraen !!!!
George Bush to his asscoiates: can we drop an atom bomb to destroy it ?
What is NaCl ?

3) Balram Naidu & Fletcher: Clearly the scorers. Balram with his witty comments and fletcher with his cool attitude. The expression on kamal when he sees a fellow telugu-waadu is simply awesome.(re-recording for this scene is best).

4) Chaos Theory : The way he knitted the concept of chaos theory, and the way he related 12th century with 21st century is awesome. but i am very sure that people wont understand.(the same happened with kudaikul mazhai,which is an awesome portrayal of split personality, but anniyan clicked)

5) Graphics: Though they cant match the hollywood standards, but still they gave their best. Tsunami scene was good one. Rest all the places, we feel like, they could have invested a bit more !!!!

6) Screenplay: Clearly it's masala movie, if u expect something like heavy story line n concept, it'll be a big disappointment for you. it has a very racy screen play and u'll enjoy the movie if you have least expectations.

Negatives:

-1) The extensive usage of languages, kamal being a perfectionist, he tries too much on languages and often people miss what he's trying to convey. the poovaragan char, will speak nellai tamil and it's very pure that even nellai people wont understand !!!!!
-2) The most pathetic Asin - I wished Fetcher should have killed her instead of mallika sherawat........perumaale..mudiyala !!!

Overall, it's paisa-vasool entertainer, go,just enjoy and forget all ur troubles for 3 hrs !!!!
