The below review is from my own thoughts, after watching the movie.
Being a die-hard kamal Hassan fan tempted me to watch "Dasavatharam"- the Tamil movie. Before going to watch the movie, I had asked the opinions of many. My sister told me not to go near the cinema theatre, as the movie was not at all good. But I couldn't control my urge to watch the "Magnum Opus - Dasavatharam".
The movie has both the commercial and the revolutionary thoughts. Being a K.S.Ravikumar movie(the director of the movie), the movie had all the substance of a commercial south indian tamil movie.. (a bit of action,romance,sentiments). There are times, in which you could really feel the revolutinary ideas of kamal and k.Balachander being poured in.
I will not be narrating the movie here, as there are a lot of reviews on this., I will not say the movie was excellent. It was really over-hyped. But the movie provided a new horizon for tamil cinema. It is a stepping stone. kamal has really worked hard and it has shown in the movie. Changing make-ups to fit 10 roles is a huge effort and kamal has really done it well.
The movie talks about how we human beings make the destiny. The opening scene is perfectly connected to the climax. Nambi believes in his god more than anything, but his wife explains that life is important and its ok if we chant other god’s name. In the climax its different. Govind doesn’t believe in god and values people the most…. but the heroine deeply believes in god and a dialogue comes when both Asin and Kamal’s hand is on the god which came from the sea. It depicts that they are getting united from the place they departed hundreds of years back. This shows the generation circle is joined with supernatural powers of GOD and destiny…..!!!
The main reason for most audience not liking the movie is:
1) Usage of more dravidian tamil and the perfection of kamal to speak in tamil,which most audience fail to interpret.
2) Usage of Butterfly effect and Chaos Theory.
3) Music is really not listening and only 2 songs made justice to the movie.
4) Make-up also couldn't do justice to all the 10 different characters. The villan role, the giant muslim,old grand mother were really irritating.
5) Graphics could have been improved.
My Review: Movie is good and worth watching. I will rate a 3 out of 5.
