Dasavatharam Review!!!


Hi guys,
These days it has become a common thing to hype things around.But, it is to be noticed that only a few things live upto the expectations that they have created. Remember the iphone?But hey it lived up to its expectations for atleast apple lovers. So I'm not complaining as I'm too a apple lover.But lets also talk about things that have created a wave but not a huge one.If you prepare one such list I personally think Dasavatharam will be on top.I have seen the movie twice in theatres. So I think I'm in a position to review the movie.




The movie starts with kamal-the scientist giving a lecture in front of manmohan singh,george Bush and Karunanidhi.He starts narrating a incident which happenned in the 12th century.here comes kamal's second role as vaishnavite priest Rangarajan.The ruler of the period believes in saivism and asks his subjects not to worship lord vishnu.Hence he decides to throw the idol of vishnu into River.However rangarajan tries to stop that.But he is punished for this act and is also thrown along with the idol.This is the end of role two.
Next,the story of the scientist kamal begins.He is a biotech engineer working in USA.He develops some kind of bio-weapon similar to Anthrax.His boss sells this weapon to a terrorist outfit.Kamal knowing this steals the weapon and sends it to India in a package.Now kamal is chased by ex-CIA official chris Fletcher ehich again kamal.This role is the best in the film.In India the police handle this case to Balram Naidu(fourth kamal).This character is humourous and should be the second best in the film.In India the package containing the virus goes to asin's house in chidambaram.Asin is accompanied by her grandma which is the fifth Kamal in the film.Her portrayal is excellent.

Then a japanese karate master(Sixth Kamal) comes to India to kill Chris Fletcher.In between kamal dons the role of a tall man and an activist to add some humour and emotions into the film. Finally whether the villain got the virus or the hero got it is the story.
Though the story isnt too good and explantory for the tsunami,The screenplay is excellent.had the film had a better story we should have surely enjoyed the film.Anyway the film is a must watch for all film buffs though you would have expected a better story.
I give it three out of five and a thumbs up.As for kamal's acting and screen play,I give it full ten out of ten though I am a Rajini fan.
