Dasavatharam Movie Review, Criticism, Synopsis and Storyline

Hey guys! Just came back home after watching the Kamal's Magnum opusDasavatharam movie. Please don't miss the first 15 minutes of the movie.That is the best portion among the whole package i can say.

The story line starts with the clash between vaishnavas and shivas. it is an incident that took place in the 12th century during the period of kulothunga chozha. Here comes the charcter 'Nambi'. No other avatar of kamal has impressed as nambi did. The set looks real. It will sure drive the audience to the ancient age itself. Hats off to cinematographer Ravivarman. 'kallai mattum kandal' song with such visual effect is really awesome.

The rest of the story line revolves around how the scientist kamal 'govind' invent a dreadful element, later realizing its consequence trying to destroy it but the American govt not granting him the permission. So he escapes from the laboratory with his invention but the white American Fletcher tip toed him all the way. The element was parceled to an incorrect address in india. An old hag ( very much similar to 'avvai shanmugi' kamal) receives that parcel unknowingly she puts that element into a Vishnu idol. How govind kamal along with asin recapturing that parcel and destroying it ? How fletcher kamal induces problem to the scientist? Like that story revolves. Other avatars of kamal just come and go and are of not much importance and not that effective.George W. bush character is cool i think that is the only character that had good make up cast. Tsunami at the climax is also a fantastic and clever work, interesting to watch.

First time Asin plays a dual role in the movie. She comes as a grand daughter to the old hag and also as the wife of 'Nambi' character. Mallika sherawat is really hot, she comes as a translator to the villan kamal. Napolean as Kulothunga chozha is really an artistic performance. Jaya pradha comes as the wife of punjabi kamal. Back ground music by Devi sriprasad is descent enough to have some feel. Among the songs 'Mukutha Mukuntha' is melodious and humming. Final song 'ulaganayagane' (all 10 avatars appears in this song) scores good beat.

Overall i can say it's a good movie to watch. But something is missing in the movie. I wonder how kamal included lots of masala ingredients in his movie. Rare to see such things in kamal's film. But may be the high budget would have made him to do so. An usual story line with much hype . But this movie is surely a mega hit. I would give 9 out of 10 marks for "DASAVATHARAM".
