Dear Mr. kamal,
How many times should we make it clear to you? We have said it directly (by not watching Anbesivam) and indirectly (by making Thirupachi a big hit), that we, tamilians, hate good, thought provoking and intelligent movies. Why cant you take the hint? I am seriously disappointed. Next time, just make a movie, like thirupachi. All bullshit and no storyline. That is when you can make your movie a hit. That is when tamil people will acknowledge that you are a star. Please dont over think and give us some good movie like Dasavatharam. We plainly hate good movies. And tell the truth, did you honestly believe we, tamilians, will get the concept behind "chaos theory" ?
Yours truly,
Tamil Nadu.

Dasavatharam Review:
Easily the best movie this summer. First of all, i was right. 10 different roles is just a selling point. It is a desperate measure inserted in the movie to make it more interesting. And frankly few make-ups were pathetic. Gotta agree that. But the amount of hardwork gone into every part of the movie is just fantastic. Kamal just steals the show. Fantastic performance.
The best part about the movie is the Screenplay. Amazing screenplay. This guy is a genius. It is really hard to write a screenplay for such a story line. Kamal has used the chaos theory perfectly in the screenplay. There is a bit of everything in the movie. There is a bit of god belief, Atheism, Communialism, politics, etc, etc. There are no loose ends. The screenplay is just that perfect.
I thought only English movies are going to be better this summer and franly i thought Dasavatharam cannot be that great. But i am so wrong. This movie is better than "Indiana Jones and the crystal skull".
Hats off Mr. Kamal, for the good screenplay and good storyline with lots of messages.

Anada Vikatan has given Dasavatharam 43 upon 100:
How can they give "Dasavatharam" 43 out of 100, while giving "Santhosh Subramaniam" 44 ? I used to like this magazine a lot. But now, i think it is getting worse. And i feel bad for it.

I'm starting to write this comment under the assumption that your would be receptive to positive criticism.
1. The only thing that you have said is good about this movie is its screenplay. And i don't know why you say it would be hard to write one for a storyline like this. You've said that nearly everything else in this movie could have been better. A good movie needs more than just a good screenplay and great acting.
2. I don't understand how someone can *use* chaos theory. Its something like the newton's law of gravitation. You cant USE it. Its omnipresent. And he needn't have described it at all. It was just a gimmick to give it a pseudo-high-level feeling. I don't know why people think this movie is governed by chaos theory. For that matter, all movies are. Not just movies, our lives too.
3. Intelligent and thought provoking? I think i missed that part of the movie. Sigh.
PS. I'm a fan of kamal too. Its just that, this is NOT one of his good movies (its not even remotely decent).
@ kuruvi fan,
This movie is not excellent. This movie is not even close to the expectation levels. But it is not a bad movie. It doesnt deserve all the bad comments. I never said this is the best movie of all time. I said Best movie of this summer. I am a kamal fan. So review could be a bit biased. But according to me, Screenplay and the story line are the two key components of a good movie. Then comes acting. Then comes characterization. The comes everything else.
I agree with you, in one thing. The introduction scene with "world Leaders" praising kamal and where he explain Chaos theory is unnecessary. (I have even mentioned that in the post.) Intentionally or unintentionally many movies "use" Chaos theory. But this movie is different. There are lots of reasons, as pointed out by various posts and reviews in the internet.
(One of the)Intelligent part of the screenplay - you gotta see the movie from backwards. He has used Tsunami to destroy the vial, by this, assuring the faith of many ppl, that God does everything for a reason. But also asking an important question, whether God's design is not good. Think about it. If it is not the Tsunami, then maybe the entire state would have gone in the virus. But then Tsunami killed millions of people. That it is one of the intelligent part of the movie. The Hero will ask "Why did he design the system like this? He could have made us, the scientists, to not think abt this. He could have changed the mind of Bush for not funding this. But why did he bring the vial this far and why did he "use" the Tsunami to destroy the vial, also killing so many innocent people?" That is a fact. Why is God's design so bad in the world?
This movie doesn't deserve all the bad credits. I still stand by my review. This movie is the best movie in this summer.
