Appreciate Dasavatharam better .....
  • ---------- Forwarded message ----------
    An interesting forward i recieved today.

    Rahul


    *One thing we had noticed is why people didn't get the real subtext and
    reason for the various roles and hence the title.
    If you knew the real dasavatharams of Lord Vishnu and their characters you
    can appreciate the script more.
    *Let me explain, starting with the best adapted role:

    1. *Krishna avatar*-* **Vincent Poovaraghavan*
    Lord krishna is actually a dalit, he is dark-skinned [shyamalam]. He saved
    draupadi when she was being violated and he was the actual diplomat in
    mahabharatham. Lord krishna dies of an arrow striking his lower leg. Now
    look at how vincent was introduced.. he appears when asin is about to be
    molested and he saves her like draupadi. Vincent is the dalit diplomat,
    fights for land issue [soil issue to be exact] and dies from the metal rod
    striking his leg. Oh even five of vincent's men are drugged at P. Vasu's..
    sounds familiar???

    2.* **Balarama avatar* - *Balarama naidu*
    This is an easy given. as the name suggests and the role personifies you can
    easily get it.

    3.* **Mathsya avatar*-* **Ranagaraja nambi*
    nambi is thrown into water in an act of trying to save lord from being
    thrown into sea, though vainly. what more clue do you want?

    4. *Varaha avatar* -* **Krishnaveni paatti*
    During the mukunda song, krishnaveni paatti does varaha avatar in the shadow
    puppetry. The frame freezes on it for a second. there is the clue. Moreover,
    in varaha avatar lord actually hides earth so as to protect life forms. Here
    too krishnaveni hides the germs - life form inside the statue so as to
    protect.

    5. *Vamana avatar* - *Kalifulla khan*
    remember in vamana avatar, lord vishnu takes the vishvaroopa, that is the
    giant form! Hence the giant kalifulla here symbolises vamana avatar.
    6. *Parasurama avata*r - *Christian Fletcher*
    Parasurama is actually on an angry killing spree and killed 21 generations
    of the particular kshatriya vamsa. Hence the real KILLER... Guess what thats
    what our Fletcher is! He comes around with the gun [modern upgrade for axe]
    and kills everyone around. I have to check if he kills 21 people though. :-D

    7. *Narasimha avatar* - *Shingen Narahashi*
    first of all the name itself is a play on the words singam [means lion in
    tamil] and narasimha [the avatar being symbolised]. Lord Narasimha manifests
    himelf to kill the bad guy and he also teaches prahaladha. In the movie, he
    shows up to kill the killer fletcher! and is also a teacher.. Lord Narasimha
    had to kill the asura with bare hands and hence the martial arts exponent
    here.. get it?

    8. *Rama avata*r - *Avatar Singh*
    Lord Rama stands for the one man one woman maxim, kind of symbolising true
    love.. Here Avatar portrays that spirit by saying that he loves his woman
    more than anything and wants to live for her.

    9. *Kalki avatar* - *Govindaraj Ramasamy*
    As you know, the hero in kaliyug can be none other than the Kalki avatar!!!

    10. *Koorma avatar* -* **Bush*
    This is the most loose adaptation I couldn't clearly comprehend. But if you
    look at the real koorma avatar, the lord is the turtle/tortoise that helps
    in stirring the ksheera sagara and bringing out the amruth. This essentially
    creates war among the devas and asuras. Similarly today Bush facilitates war
    between you know whom... May be Kamal also indicates that this avatar is a
    bit dumb like the tortoise

  • Very nice interpretation, but I don't think Kamal really had this in
    his screenplay. I would suggest we should stop this comparing Avatars
    of Vishnu and Kamal's movie due to sensitive subject or people should
    discuss it open minded without personal attacks or just blaming Kamal.

    I wish I can change the subject of this email ... ;-)
  • Actually he copied and pasted the article from behindwoods.com
    website...
  • yeah .. Dear Rahu.// indeed very interesting forward.

    thanks and regards / sps
  • I had seen this earlier, and on a lighter note, my comment to this
    was as follows:-

    ssssss...... appaaaaa.........
    kanna kattudhey......
    Kamal kooda ivvalo yosichiruppaaraannu sandhEgam.......
    Room pottu okkaarndhu yosikkareengalEppa.......
    (typical Vadivelu style)

    :-) :-) :-) :-)
  • Interesting, in a few 100 years, these will glorify Kamal as people
    then (hope they will consider this movie as classic) and postmortem
    it traing for interpretations.

    Kamal's script - thoughts (athiesum) may have been different, but
    God's ways come over and above. Same like this interpretation here :)
