Dasavatharam " A True Masterpiece"

Let me tell you about my views on Dasavatharam. I got a chance to see the movie this sunday ( 15th June).

This movie is truly a masterpiece and an eye opener to Indian cinema!!!. The movie, Dasavatharam , is truly a sight to behold. The story, directing, acting, camera work, special effects, everything about it is amazing. The First 15 minutes of the movie itself is a treat to watch. The Grandeur, the extraordinary architectural work by National award winner ThottaDharani in creating the sets that resemble the ancient 12th century temple is truly amazing. The emotions expressed by Kamal when the king ( Napolean) orders him to chant shiva hymns makes one feel that he cries out from his heart. One must notice the difference between the body structure of 12th century Rangarajan Nambi and the scientist ( Govind).The body language is quite different in each role.

The local tamil speaking audience or the class B and C class audience would find it difficult to understand the languages that are spoken in the movie. The subtitles used is of a small help and might be a distraction.However, the story has to be made in that way and no way, a movie-buff could accept George bush or Fletcher speaking Tamil. The story line demanded that all the respective characters expresses themselves in their languages that fits their roles. 12th century Kamal's chidambaram Tamil language, Govind's US accent, Fletchers Rude expressions, Balram naidu's mix of Telugu and Tamil accent,Japanese language, Kalifullah's urdu based tamil, Vincent Poovaragan Madurai accent and much more clearly Indicates or proves why Kamal is a true genius and a versatile actor capable of not just enacting multiple roles but also speak different languages .This can be termed as a major revolution or change in the history of Indian cinema.

Truly Jackie chan describes in his personal website after seeing the movie during the music launch, "Dasavatharam is an eye opener for world cinema" . He also tell his Chinese counterparts that "directors in Hong Kong and China, watch this movie and start working harder than ever, because very soon now, Indian cinema will overtake us in the eyes of the international audience!"

Most people who have watched the movie may have been disappointed with the way the story goes. Some may complain that there was no need for 10 roles, there is no proper story, the language spoken is not understandable etc etc and all other stuffs. But an Intelligent person can explain why the movie is a class in its own.

Tell me, has anyone ever attempted like this ever in Indian cinema? Has any actor taken so much hardship and pain to achieve this record? Never!!!! Remember Ajith's movie "Citizen" also had similar kind of roles. Critics may say that kamal did this movie just for inscribing his name in the record books. I would say, everyone in this world has that intentions to do something unique and would like to be a record holder.Every element was amazing to me; and all the elements together just made a perfect and incredible movie! Indian Cinema audiences are still glued to stories such as romantic hero and heroine dancing around a tree, heroes killing villain for silly reasons, heroine's father targetting the hero etc etc. Lets wake up and appreciate from our heart to this living legend for his outstanding performance and his great work towards Indian Cinema.

It takes sheer guts, patience and confidence to do this kind of highly cumbersome role. The legend Kamal may not be bothered about getting into record books or not. He preaches good cinema and takes Indian cinema to International level. Each and every aspect of this movie is linked and it should be real foolishness to just say that there was no story. Kamal Hassan is one amongst the best screenplay writers in India. He has carefully observed and has worked hard on each role before giving the final shot.

He has done enough justice to this movie. If anyone has observed clearly, during the last Tsunami scene; as the water rises, the boats on the shore move away deeper into the sea and gradually goes down a little bit. Clearly a sign of amazing creativity.Each and every scene has been shot perfectly.

Guys and Girls, plz go watch the movie at theaters. Think why the movie was made, why the story required 10 characters, why is it a different movie? Appreciate the work. Good work should needs appreciation, be it either Kamal, Rajini, Ajith, Vijay or anyone else from any part of this world. Start analyzing and ask yourself "Isn't it a fabulous job by Kamal Sir"? This movie makes people think and give work to their brains.

Final Verdict!!! A great and a valiant attempt. The news going around the corners is that, the collections would be nearing 200 crores by the end of 2nd week ( Refer Bangalore Mirror dated 16th june). This in fact is a sign of Victory and the movie is Kamal Hassan's biggest hit.
