The movie Dasavatharam is credited with being the most expensive Indian movie ever created. So now comes the critical question was it worth all that money?? I think the producers got ripped off!! in a big way. The high point of the movie is the acting of kamal Hasan, unfortunately that is the only highlight of the movie.
We all know that Kamal is an actor who can play any character or role seamlessly passing the lines by which other actors bound. Which leads me to the question as to why at this point of time in his career did he choose to portray ten different characters? I am not implying he did a bad job. Just that the movie could have done with out his portrayal of characters like the villain, the freakishly tall Muslim guy and the malayalee activist.
The movie attempts to bring multiple small stories together along the lines of the Oscar movie crash. The intent is to show that individual events on their own may have very little meaning but have a bearing on the larger scheme of things and also that we are all interconnected in some way or the other.
All this is good and jolly but for some reason integration of all the stories in the movie was not smooth. Certain sequences will leave you wondering what was this for? Mallika Sherawat's role as the vamp is pretty short, uneventful but for a change it is not a skin show. The low point of the movie was definitely the graphics they seemed pretty kiddish and definitely not worth the astronomical figures quoted for the effort.
Personally I loved kamal's potrayal of the telugu RAW officer and George W Bush.
Overall the movie is not an awe inspiring or thought provoking. I would say it is a time pass movie that you can watch once. Also I think that Mr.Hasan was being a little self obsessed in naming the Movie Dasavatharam just because he played ten characters.
Do not be surprised if you come out of the movie hall asking yourself what was the movie about??

DO NOT WATCH IT.
DISCLAIMER: I m a huge kamal fan :)
>>Story was abstract but it was brilliant. All the 10 avatars indirectly depict avatars of lord vishnu.
>>Chaos theory is the underlyin thingy. 12th century idol unsettlin a tectonic plate and its effect in the 21st century tsunami sums it up.
>>all the roles required a super human effort which no one in the world but kamal could ve done.
>>Each and every scene had a good connectivity towards the ultimate theory if u noticed properly.
