Easily one of the most expected movies this year. And the grand Audio release just increased the expectation levels.
Before going any further, i have to say, i am one of the Die-Hard fans of Kamal. He is one of the best actors in Tamil cinema. Actually one of the Best in Indian cinema. During his long career, he has done some pretty amazing acting. His knowledge in this field is vast than anyone else. He is a good singer. Very good director. Above all, he is one of the best screenplay writers. You name any department in film industry, from production till editing, KamalHaasan is quite comparable to one of the best in that field. One of the very very few poeple in Tamil Industry who have good taste and quality in their mind when they make movies. Lets leave personal life here. This is completely cinema.
Dasavatharam is quite promising. But to be honest, i expected a lot more from Kamal. First of all, i dont understand, why he should act in 10 different roles? My point is, if the 10 roles are not connected to one another, then there is no point why same actor has to do that. If you need someone to act as the President of America, find a suitable guy. Why go the unnecessary extra trouble of doing expensive make-up for that? If you dont want to stop there, why not go ahead and act all the characters in the movie and with special effects, you can still make a movie. Kamal can act as the lead lady of the movie, he can act as the villains. In todays technology anything is possible. Why not do that? i really dont see anyone asking this same question. Maybe, the answer is obvious, but i am missing to see it. If you think that is the reason, let me know. I will be glad to know the reason. It seems to me, 10 roles is something that they desperately introduce in the movie so that they can get an attractive number. i gotta wait and see the movie before saying anything else.
I strongly beleive that, if the story doesnt demand the same guy to do different roles, Kamal should not do it. Just because he is capable of handling different modulations, doesnt mean he should convert the movie into some guessing game. But the movie comes with a commercial banner. In that way, it is a good idea. But for Kamal this is not good enough.
The moment i heard about Kamal doing 10 roles, i figured the movie is going to be like "The man from Earth".(It is a great movie. I strongly recommend. this is the tagline for this movie, "What if Jesus is alive?"). the movie is basically about a guy who has never died. He lived through all the centuries and he changed his appearance according to the century he lived in. That is the story of the movie. I thought Dasvatharam is going to be something like this. But the story line is quite disappointing to me, personally. Kamal is one of the few people in Tamil industry, who is contantly following new trends. He has always adopted new ideas and technologies from the Hollywood.
The songs are quite ok. But not that great. But lets face it, most of Kamal's movie songs are not a big hit. (Talking about songs, can you name me one movie that Vijay has acted and it is a failure with respect to songs? Somehow, all his movie songs are good)
Anyhow, i am really lookign forward to the release of this movie. Lets see.
