Kamal Haasan’s ‘Dasavatharam’draws effusive early reactions
  • Dear Thiru,

    Perfect reporting !

    I know the guy who saw this along with Rajni, Kamal, KB & Ravikumar.

    He says Ravikumar exceeded " Shankar " in Brahmanndam !

    Tsunami scene -Upto Kanyakumari Thiruvalluvar statue is submerged
    with Sea water !

    First 2.5 reels, like 3000 feet, opening scenes (Historic) are
    FANTASTIC and GRIPPING !!

    Next 5 years there is no likelyhood any movie excelling this, he
    says !

    The World Cenema - has been EQUATING Indian Cinema as HINDI CINEMA
    or BENGALI CINEMA !!

    For some time Now, their attention is turned to Tamil Cinema !

    Dasavatharam movie is a turning point in the positive direction of
    Tamil cinema Industry !

    And it appears .. no where Anti-God preaching shown!

  • Yesterday I was reading an article in rediff. An interview by the
    special effects supervisor. He says 90% of the movie has special
    effects and all were done in India, with less cost but quality
    equivalent to Hollywood.
    It seems the movie is a milestone in Special effects.
    Eagerly waiting for the weekend to watch this movie.
  • Review from Rediff.

    But the review says that throughout the movie, the existence of god is
    questioned.

    SPS, just yesterday you were saying that someone said there is not
    atheism in this movie?

    Review seems to be good. The starting line 'super human effort' tells
    it all.
  • big disappointment....
    i wonder why kamal has acted in 10 diff roles for sake of it and
    scripted a movie with no basic story line....
    atleast in citizen movie there was some story....
    dialogues in the movie are too bad...Asin i guess wrote her own
    dialogues and all through the movie she shouts'en perumala kudu'.
    Make up also not so well done for the hype they had given...it looks
    great in some angles but in some angles it look like a very sick make
    up...the greatness of a makeup is u shouldnt know its a make up....but
    they have missed the trick...
    The movie doesnt speak for the amount of money they have spent for the
    movie....instead of the ten characters if they had spent more time on
    the script and narration things would have been better...
    kamal as story and screenplay writer has let down very badly
    just back from the movie so bit too disappointed too have spent $16
    for the movie
  • Sorry to disappoint those who are eagerly waiting..

    Not a "little" let down.. a major one.
    When will our film makers realize that great special
    effects/makeup/action stunts will never make up for the lack of a
    credible storyline?

    They treat audience like idiots. In fact, using "dasavatharam" as
    title is an insult.. I am okay with agnosticism but this was plain
    bilge.

    This was just a showcase for kamal's adventurism and the makeup-men's
    talent... No more.
    Still smarting from last night's mis-entertainment :((
