dasavatharam would appeal to you, of all people because in my mind, it is the kind of film you might have written, with its free association and loaded symbolic references .
its also the kind of film people will easily mistake for an intellectual film, which is more the pity because its unadultrated tripe .
this film is impressive. although its been directed in the south indian style of film making it does not take away from the interesting story and screenplay of the film written by dr. kamal hassan .
a tamil romantic film which won the national film award for best feature film in tamil. the background score was composed by ilaiyaraaja and the movie was remade in hindi as tere naam starring salman khan .
i agree that many important subjects were tackled in the film, but the treatment made it impossible for me to take the film seriously .
directed by ks ravikumar, dasavatharam is said to release with a maximum of 1000 prints in three languages - tamil, telugu and hindi - the largest for any tamil film to date. but in uk cinemas, the film will be available in tamil only .
my first time reading your dasavatharam review. why read it now? well, i re - watched dasavatharam on sunday that’s why (actually did an almost back - to - back of dasa and virumaandi coz it was a combo dvd) .

dasavatharam is a tamil feature film directed by k. s. ravikumar, who with dasavatharam, is teaming up with kamal haasan for the fourth time. haasan acts in ten different roles, breaking the record for an actor' s portrayal of the most different characters whilst asin thottumkal in a dual role and mallika sherawat also play lead roles in the film. the film, which has been under production since mid - 2005, has himesh reshammiya as the music composer and oscar ravichandran as the main producer .
shot on a grand scale and costing 1. 4 billion rupees, dasavatharam is the latest tamil epic - releasing in uk cinemas this month .
varalakshmi. i have not seen the film - so no clue about the proceedings .
a tamil film produced by dhanush, which was later remade in marathi, and went on to win the national film awards for best children’s film and best child artist. the story revolves around two slum children, and their desire to eat pizza. the film was critically acclaimed for its brilliant take on consumerism and became a commercial success .
the source adds, “being a perfectionist, kamal spent hours till he got under the skin of all the characters that he plays in dasavatharam. ”
the poster for this film created quite a sensation on social media. once again starring nivin pauly, the film also has aishwarya rajesh of kaaka muttai fame as part of the cast. the film, directed by sidhartha siva, is supposedly a political thriller .
we argued that it' s only normal that it' s a film that would appeal the most viewers who' re more culturally aware of the film' s background .

in the film, shruti will play haasan' s daughter while akshara will assist rajeev kumar .
the major let down of the film seems to be the technology / budget. haasan played 6 different characters that i' ve seen in the film before i walked out, these included :
the director k s ravikumar says that the film will take his career to a new dimension .
oscar ravichandran is leaving no stone unturned to make the film get that rich and regal feel .
vincent poovaragan: the black indian low caste leader is the political statement of the movie and a believable essay is caught in the tsunami of bad taste that is dasavatharam .
in short, with unexpected twists and turns missing in the film, dasavatharam is a make - up magic show that disappoints as drama and satisfies as a technical showpiece. atheist kamal seems to be indirectly affirming the existence of god here. verdict: watch for kamal !
the hero in the film dasavatharam grows in a agraharam where he loves asin who is a neighbour (who is also a wife in his past life) in agraharam. kamal plays the role of asin' s grandma who strongly objects the marriage between kamal and asin .
im a broken man now. i thought life had served me every possible doozie. dasavatharam, i was completely unprepared for. but no one really prepares for the tsunami .
5. nvr pictures madhana maaligai - 1976 - directed, again, by k vijayan. the film
mbs gave his best to all his films - be it any language. the first film in baduga
2016 ended on a sober note but 2017 promises to be an exciting year for film - goers .
an excited hassan, who plays george bush in k s ravikumar’s film, confirms the news and says, “it is true that i am playing george bush’s character in dasavatharam. in fact, the part where i play george bush has turned out to be exceptionally good. ” a huge set, which replicates the white house in washington, has been built in chennai’s film city .
kamal hassan in his film dashavatharam (dasavatharam) has acted in 10 roles. the first role is preist, hero (lover of asin), bush, african, grandma (asin' s grandma), aborgine, singh, chinese, red indian and as a detective .
in his latest offering' dasavatharam', to be released tomorrow after clearing a few unsettling legal wrangles, he is all set to regale his fans playing a record ten roles, including that of us president george bush, who would see the film later when he is free .
slated to release on december 1 in all the three languages, the film has music by maestro ilayaraja .
one of our most versatile actors, kamal hassan, is, at present, busy studying george bush’s mannerisms by watching all the tapes of the us president’s speeches and meetings. the actor is spending hours trying to emulate bush’s body language as a part of his homework for his next film dasavatharam .
some guys have claimed they haven’t understood chaos theory which plays such an important part in the film. as a physics student, i’ve decided to explain it a bit so that people can appreciate the brilliance of the film .
i think this is because they started making this film six years ago, and it changed hands many times .
actress ramya krishnan will play kamal’s wife in the film, which will also star shruti haasan as their daughter .
dasavatharam is a brilliant and bold effort which talks about the physics of karma, chaos theory and cycle of life. i came across across dr. kamal hassan’s words about dasa on the internet :
dasavathaaram is a 2008 tamil action - romance film, directed by k. s. ravikumar and produced by aascar film pvt. ltd. this film stars kamal haasan, asin, mallika sherawat, jayaprada, napoleon, nagesh in the lead role. the films soundtrack and background score were composed by himesh reshammiya with lyrics by vaali, vairamuthu .
the film, which was in the making for more than two years, first faced a legal wrangle over the title' dasavatharam' which refers to the ten incarnations of lord vishnu in hindu mythology and later over its content showing a clash between the two hindu sects of vaishnavites and shaivites in the 12th century. kamal' s plot in this film takes off from this point and zeroes in on modern times, touching on sensitive issues .
a spy - thriller, bilingual film (tamil and hindi), directed and co - produced by kamal haasan, starring rahul bose and kamal haasan himself. the film attained huge success at the box office and went on to become the second highest - grossing tamil film of all time, at the time of its release. it also received the national awards for best art direction and best choreography. a sequel to the film is due by the end of 2017 .
one should understand the basic concept of the dasavatharam storyline — chaos theory, butterfly effect. chaos theory or “butterfly effect” has been shown in movies like “it? s a wonderful life”, “the jurassic park” etc…
the remake of the tamil ajith - starrer veeram, the telugu film will feature pawan kalyan and shruti haasan. veeram was an action film and though the dubbed version was released in telugu, it has still been considered eligible for a remake .
the film, which is being produced by raaj kamal international, will be simultaneously shot in tamil, telugu and hindi .
kichcha sudeep' s next will also mark the kannada debut of amala paul. this kannada action film directed by s krishna has been shot in various places including jammu and kashmir, and iceland. the film is expected to release later this month .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans. it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
the film was shot in many high - security labs in the us. normally, permission to even enter these portals are denied. but the film crew got special permission to shoot there which in itself, kindles a fair amount of curiosity about the movie .
a telugu rom - com, starring siddharth and genelia d’souza, the film beautifully portrays the conflict between indian parents and their grown up children. the film received huge box office success, rave reviews and was later remade in tamil, oriya, and bengali .
yes, the film is hugely flawed, but it is still worth a look for its overall packaging and richness in production value .
in the film, asin plays the characters of kothai radha and andaal, opposite kamal hassan from the 12th and 21st century respectively .
actor - filmmaker kamal haasan will revive the popular character balram naidu, a raw operative from 2008 tamil action - comedy “dasavatharam”, in his upcoming yet - untitled trilingual comedy. it is slated to go on the floors in may .
the tomatometer rating – based on the published opinions of hundreds of film and television critics – is a trusted measurement of movie and tv programming quality for millions of moviegoers. it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
shankar' s sequel to enthiran is expected to release in october this year. a science fiction thriller starring rajinikanth, akshay kumar and amy jackson, the first look of the film which was released late last year has already generated a buzz among rajini fans. with ar rahman' s music and the expectations set high by the first film, 2. 0 looks every bit a cracker of a film .
the reason why the movie ‘butterfly effect’ scores is primarily because of showcasing all the possible permutations of incidents that could and could not have happened. but still the end that nature intended, neverthless happens. dasavatharam fails for the same reason .
ok, so does the film talk about theism or atheism? neither. it talks about how humans drive the destiny of the world .
also starring brahmanandam, saurabh shukla, roger narayanan and ramya krishnan, the film will be simultaneously shot in tamil, telugu and hindi .
balram naidu: the indian intelligence official from andhra must be the funniest role kamalhasan has ever played. why didn’t he show up in the film earlier? this is one reason i believe that this film is really the revenge of kamalahasan on his audiences in the world at large .
dasavatharam, which was under production for almost two years, has finally hit the marquee and in style. kamal and the marvel of technology rule this venture of aascar films directed by k s ravikumar who has packaged kamal' s dream with aplomb .
in this film, with a record 1, 000 prints in the history of tamil cinema, kamal would be surpassing the existing record of tamil cinema' s thespian of yesteryears late sivaji ganesan, who had played nine roles in a film in the 60s (' navaraatri'), and hollywood actor late alec guiness who had portrayed eight roles in a film in the late 40s, in' kind hearts and coronets' .
now with so many facts about the film revealed, it looks like kamal hassan' s fans can look forward to a celebration of sorts .
will the lion roar this year at last? suriya' s s3 has been postponed multiple times and is now expected to release on january 26. the third film in director hari' s singam series which is about a police officer, the film also stars anushka shetty and shruti haasan .
prithviraj' s horror thriller was supposed to release in december but was delayed. directed by jay k, the trailer of the film has excited fans of the actor. prithviraj' s last film, oozham, was disappointing and the actor must be looking forward to up his game once again .
according to hindu philosphy, god in kaliyugam (present yuga) would take the 10th form that is the dasavatharam. it has also claimed that the avatar would emerge from the oceans, which is also mentioned in the song which asin sings with the patti .
the other thing i noticed in the film is that some sequences were very slick and other sequences looked like old chinese martial arts films version of history .
the pace of the film was too fast for my comfort and i believe this and average acting made a big dent in the overall experience of the movie .
2 - as our fellow film goers arrived at the same screen (we had to wait outside), we noticed an ethnic exclusivity to everyone around us .
a press handout from oscar films, the producers of the film, has kamal' s name appearing opposite the credit line of story, screenplay and dialogues .
interestingly, asin essays a double role in the film. she plays a woman from both the 12th century as well as the 21st century. incidentally, in both the roles, she plays a brahmin. the film' s usp is kamal hassan who plays 10 different roles. another female lead is mallika sherawat .
the seagull, in his many many years of film watching has never seen a film fail in so many of its conceits as this one has. the sfx - terrible. the make up - like paper mache masks oldfashioned movie making skills - absent. a sense of history (essential for a historical film) missing. basic consideration for the viewer – absent. kamal’s interpretations of the ten charecters - sub intelligent. sociopolitical theory - like an old village communist “comrade”‘s drunken rant .
a remake of the tamil vijay - starrer kaththi, this action film will see chiranjeevi in a dual role. the telugu superstar will be making a comeback to the big screen after 10 years and what' s more, this will also be his 150th film! shriya saran and kajal aggarwal will play the female leads .
krishnaveni patti: this is one of the three real acting roles in the film although its drowned out by the shrieking and sqeaking in fifty different sharps and flats .
in malaysia too, the film has been shot in many unique locations. further, the shots of kamal in a 747 jet is said to be very extraordinary .
for eg: when you want to incorporate the chaos theory or its subset, the butterfly effect, the only way you can do it is by showing the 2 sides of what if incident a had happened and also what if incident a had not happened. but in the case of dasavatharam, he has shown only the first scenario. so what it does is that, it showcases only a series of co - incidences just like any other film .
after reading your analysis it has given clarity on the whole theories involved in the film, kamal is one who researches in depth before making it, no wonder his movies are expensive to start with, whereas the results are nothing less than brilliance. he is one of the few film makers who does not make cinema just for entertainment .
a tight & constant paced script was the highlight of the film. the use of chaos theory was good too. too bad i had to see this in hindi .
the second half of 2016 was a difficult period for the south indian film industries. what with the cauvery issue, demonetisation, natural disasters, the death of tamil nadu cm jayalalithaa and problems between producers and film exhibitors, the year came to a sober end. but 2017 is here and there' s reason for cinephiles to cheer .
shivarajkumar' s action entertainer, directed by suri, also stars manvitha. suri and shivarajkumar are getting together once again after their 2013 film kaddipudi, a crime thriller .
thala fans are waiting eagerly for ajith' s next which will also feature kajal aggarwal and akshara haasan. directed by siva, the film is expected to release in april .
maestro ilayaraja, who has been roped in to compose the tunes, chose the title for the film’s tamil version which will be officially unveiled on friday (april 29) .
the entire film' s actually dubbed over. majority of the story (of what i saw) were set in america, and really, it' s almost like an american film that happens to involve indian characters. anyway, there' re a fair bit of english, and they' re still dubbed, in english, by other characters .
really helped asin' s standing in the industry .
she gained a lot from the film since her performance was appreciated on a scale similar to that of the tamil version of
great movie with a great actor, it may seem confusing at first but it all makes as you go along with the film, which is always good. i would recommend this !
a tamil sci - fi, starring kamal haasan in ten different roles, a record in itself. the film received mixed reviews and released a hindi - dubbed version a year later .
rangarajan nambi (the 12 th century priest) is a cardboard cutout fist banger with a brahmin priest’s getup. i never thought i’d see a film where a person dressed like a temple priest is introduced in the inner sanctum of a temple bashing the heads of bad guys (squirting blood) against the large stone idol of vishnu. a first of sorts in world film .
i hope its the worst among all the indian film that too spending too much. kamal sud understand that spending too much or creating some story like he did for dasavatarm is not goin to attract audience of tamilnadu. its a total waste. for this dubakur movie he spent in crores and took so much of time and called jackie chan for audio release. film like kadal n many more had not spent too much but did well in theatres. first he sud understand mind of tamilnadu audiences. then he sud make film accordingly. and truly the makeups were not upto mark .
so what went wrong? it had absolutely no story to speak of, and the twists and turns were predictable. in the end, it turned out to be a routine film rendered more aggravating by its incessant near - miss plot structure. you desperately want to like the film for its maddeningly zany characters played out by kamal hassan. alas! there' s only so much life an actor can pump into a moribund script. it once again proves the old theory that, without a proper story and script, no film, however big the actors are, can succeed .
actor - filmmaker kamal haasan left for los angeles, us, on tuesday to start regular shooting of his upcoming trilingual film sabash naidu, which also features his daughters shruti haasan and akshara haasan .
everyone has their own opinions. i do agree with it. but please don’t compare dasavatharam with a pretty usual love story like kadhal. kadhal is be nothing more than a day - to - day entertainer movie. and such movies cost little unless u wish to blow up bmw’s with the each step covered by the hero. dasavatharam is in a different class. inorder to understand the movie completely, u have to think abt it after watching the movie. the chaos theory is portrayed in the best possible manner which even the movie “butterfly effect” was unable to do. butterfly effect is the result of subtle and non - apparent interventions in our life creating much greater consequences in the destiny of the mankind. and those who cry abt spending lavishly should first oppose the likes of useless masalas like “shivaji”. a movie with the grandeour of dasavatharam needs such amout of money to be spent. the music sextion was a let down and the second half was a bit lag. overall a great theme made out in a great manner .
yes opinions differ, and i think those who don’t understand the movie only recent it. the best part i liked about the movie is the layers that lie beneath. yes most of the audience have explained the scientific aspect of it, which is the choas theory, but there is also a religious side to it which is the dasavatharam .
story - screenplay - direction: the basic story line of the film is about how a scientist saved the lives of millions of people by securing the bio - weapon as a hit - man summoned by terrorists chases him. the hit man and the scientist roles are played by kamal himself and in the process hero meets seven more characters played by the actor. since all these characters are played by kamal, these characters are given more footage and much importance than usual. hence, the story of the film takes the back seat to highlight kamal’s dasavatarams. direction is not satisfactory. screenplay is little confusing. the 12th century episode is well - shot. the connection between the 12th century episode intro and the climax is not clearly explained. another flaw in the film is that the hero would be tossing around the idol of god throughout the film on the pretext of saving the world. the story writer incorporated majority of indian religions (hindu, muslim, christian and sikh) in the film .
manoranjan, a superstar, is counting his last days due to brain tumor. how he goes about his final wish of doing a comedy film with his mentor margadarsi forms the crux of the story .
it is a tamil psycho thriller, about a lawyer suffering from multiple personality disorder. the film was dubbed in telugu, hindi, and french and won the national awards in the special effects category .
other departments: music by himesh reshmiyya is just average. the popular song – loka nayakuda – comes only during the end credits of the film. mukunda mukunda song is good. background music by devi sri prasad is adequate. cinematography is good. make - up department deserves a special mention for its extraordinary work. editing is alright. dialogues are just ok. graphic work and special effects in certain scenes should have been better. the production values are extraordinary. analysis: the movie starts with an interesting episode set in the 12th century backdrop. then the movie' s tempo goes down till the character of cop enters. from then, the movie is interesting till the interval. the second half is not good. the climax is little interesting. the plus point of the film is kamal hassan. the minus point of the film is about diluting the story to give importance to all ten characters in the film. people go to a movie to watch kamal hassan. half of the characters donned by him do not look like kamal hassan at all. then why does he have to don those characters? on a whole, dasavatharam disappoints a bit !
the hero of the film without an iota of doubt is dr. kamal hassan. what a performer. i think the only person who can come close to him in acting in india is pankaj kapoor .
but the film, made in box office oriented commercial format, comments on contemporary issues like the dawn of biosynthetic weapon and packs action, humour and romance, as kamal himself revealed the plot in a nutshell recently .
this telugu remake of sudha kongara' s irudhi suttru about a female boxer and her difficult coach will feature daggubatti venkatesh and ritika singh. the film marks venkatesh' s 75 and is expected to release towards end january .
kaifullah khan: the 7 foot tall muslim cariciature (a tamil film equivalent of blackface) sounds retarded and catactonic. his character feels vaguely offensive, the way a “white person from west virginia” sketch might be essayed incestuously .
the film seems to want me to take it seriously, bar the comedy scenes, but you simply can' t see pass how stupid the plot is, and the massive masks! the acting reminded me of my sunday school theatre productions when i was 12, and i could almost detect laughter from the camera crew of how silly the film was, except they didn' t make it to the final cut due to the dubbing. #
a cyclone in usa. (mark the word could .) a highly dumbed down explanation of the butterfly effect is in the film anniyan, where vikram’s sister dies because a liquor shop owner sells liquor on a dry day .
it is not as though kamal does not know how to make movies. this is kamal acting out his creative erectile disfunction. the film is a fast talking con. god we miss a real sci fi drama from india .
okay, i realised breaking down the roles of the actor wasn' t the best way to analyse where the film failed, i seem to be just wittering on. but my point is - the film has no real plot - it' s basically a bit like the fugitive where our protagonist is stacked against imsurmountable odds without any means of fighting back, except the plot that propells our hero into the action were as convincing as bedtime stories for 3 years olds .
directed by santosh ananddram, this romcom featuring puneeth rajkumar and priya anand in the lead roles is expected to hit screens early this year. the teaser of the film opened to positive reviews on social media and has generated interest among fans .
after thani oruvan, jayam ravi and arvind swami will be seen on screen together again in this action comedy directed by lakshman. expected to release early this year, the film also has hansika and akshara gowda as part of the cast .
the film is an 1980’s style con job on the distributors to scam up as much money as possible on a premise (actor casts himself in ten roles) and deliver a stinking dud knowing the short memories of the bollywood filmmaking market .
i remember saying to stagulu (yes, during one of those now - infamous oneway conversations back when) that dasavatharam has really grown on me. i’m nearly oblivious to its flaws. in fact, each time i come across it, i discover something new…some facet of it that i (hated or) overlooked earlier reveals itself to me. also (don’t laugh now) i feel that the distractions of makeup - that - melts - in - the - madras - sun apart, the film does warrant kamal playing all 10 roles. watch it several times (to overcome your initial shock / distraction from the rank - bad treatment) and you’ll see why .
mohanlal' s family drama directed by jibu jacob will probably release early this year once the indefinite strike in kerala gets resolved. the film is based on a short story and also stars meena who acted with mohanlal in the highly acclaimed drishyam .
sorry it turned into a bit of a rant here. but please, unless you' re a fan of indian cinema or the director / actors involved, save yourself the effort to try and explore this particular film in the foreign genre .
a telugu musical, about life in an engineering college. the film which was later remade in tamil, kannada, and hindi. it became immensely popular among engineering students and became one of the highest - grossing films in kerala that year .
the highlights of the film were the name of the production house' aaskaar films' (haha !) and some of the lame dialogue. i can see why it' s a hit though - good movies are generally never hits in india .
the darshan starrer directed by chinthan was supposed to release last year but was delayed. said to be an action thriller, deepa sannidhi plays the heroine. the film is expected to release in february, which is also the birthday month of darshan .
vijay' s next will release on january 12. bairavaa, directed by bharathan, is expected to have all the
mass
elements that vijay is known for. the film also stars keerthy suresh who is currently enjoying a good run in kollywood .
this dulquer salmaan starrer was supposed to release for christmas but did not due to the ongoing crisis between theatre owners and producers in kerala. directed by sathyan anthikkad, the film is supposed to be a family drama. anupama parameswaran plays the female lead .
others: who will be left in the star cast of the film if kamal does 10 characters, except for the female leads? asin is good as brahmin devotee who accompanies the hero for the sake of perumal' s idol. mallika sherawat is alright as the telugu translator to the villain. jayaprada did the role of punjabi singer' s wife and has no significant role to play. napoleon is terrific in the role as shiva’s devotee. director p vasu also did a guest role in the film .
with its rugged blue body, its name (thamizhla naamam) painted on in red, the boat is an effective backdrop for — and a silent observer of — the three kamals (fletcher, govind, shingsen) sparring on the shores. and when the big wave suddenly comes, the boat becomes noah’s ark, rescuing / sheltering the govind - andal duo. ultimately, dasavatharam is an unlikely love story (note the kamal - asin bookends) .

in the above links u can see that butterfly’s wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a tornado or delay, accelerate or even prevent the occurrence of a tornado in a certain location. so in dasavatharam that idol thrown into sea in 12th century is the cause for tsunami…. so everything is interlinked. the wiki entry also says that chaos could play an important role in plate techtonics. which means even the 12th century incident is connected .
hey guys. . now, what is the issue here? kamal or the movie or chaos theory. . i must admit im not a big fan of kamal but i must agree that dasavatharam is a superb and brilliant movie. . it incorporates science and religion in a very basic manner. i dun understand y that is so hard to understand. . maybe its a typical “kamal movie”, but its a masterpiece. . watch it again with a more open mind. .

the housefull midnight audience were pummeled into a stunned silence from bad visuals unkind make up, garishly fake computer animation, pukey falsettos and a basic lack of consideration for the audience. i ended up feeling sorry for trashing tashan. this is a few levels worse. it’s a throwback to the bad old days of a desperate “make movies cuz our film crew needs work” times in the 80’s. there are no redeeming features. the rest of this review is me working out my frustration at the wasted opportunity and time. stop reading now if you get the picture. stay away from this film, if it’s not too late already .
finally, dasavatharam says life is nothing but a cycle. you are bound to experience the effects of your actions either now, or in the future, or in your next birth. you are provided with the free will to do what you want with your current life. but your actions will not only affect you but also the peolpe around you resulting in a buttefly effect which might lead to unbelievable consequences in some part of the world. you have to experience the effects for what you have caused. until then life keeps repeating like a cycle .
kamal is missing something basic here. the whole purpose of special effects generated on the computer is that they look real. these look like they are computer generated painted cardboard props. the whole purpose of make up is that the “made up” person looks real. these look like some horror film masks melted in the madras sun .
' dasavatharam', the most expected movie of the year 2007, features kamal haasan and asin in the lead roles. planned for release sometime in the middle of the year,' dasavatharam' is a class in itself. for it features kamal in ten different roles. k s ravikumar is directing this mega budget movie for oscar ravichandran. himesh reshammiya from bollywood is scoring the music. this is his debut in kollywood. kamal, always known in the industry for trying out something new, is handling ten different roles in this movie. it looks like he is trying to break the record of sivaji ganesan' s nine roles in' navaratri'. the movie is being shot in different locations in india, malaysia and the us. when the hero does something, should not the heroine follow? kamal' s ten roles are countered by asin' s dual role in the movie. this is the first time in her career asin is playing dual role. mallika sherawat dons an altogether different cap in this movie. she appears as a cia agent while jayapradha, the well - known character artiste, plays another important role in the movie .
the movie dasavatharam starts with a flashback which dates back to 1500 - 1600 ad. during this period the pandyan king who is the ruler of the southern part of india orders all his subjects to turn to vahinavites from other religions. his subjects are mainly shaivars and one man (kamal hassan) and his family objects to convert. he is the priest of the temple of shaivars and he opposes to the king' s (actor napolean) wish and this makes the king very angry and he orders his army to destroy the temple and kill the people those who opposes his wish .
okay, this is slightly outside the chaotic system driving the film as a whole. from what i could gather he says that this story is about ideologies like god, the madness surrounding such ideologies and decides to tell the story of the shaivite - vaishnavite conflict to show how people go crazy in the name of god as an example .
as a loose end, it gets tied up in the end, when the ranganathar idol is thrown out of the sea due to the tsunami which highlights the cyclic nature of life. actually the nambi character highlights both chaos and karma which i explained. that is the brilliance of this film, there is so much to see and understand .
what a moving, stark story - i believe jayakanthan had expanded it into full - length evocative black & white film - - - but could no find no distributors. i can only sigh in helpless frustration, when i realize that jagan mohini ran to packed houses in the same year in which a masterpiece like puthu cheruppu kadikkum slept in the cans
the trouble with the format is that far too many characters of the actor criss - cross without any reason? or they don? t make any difference to the story. it is obvious that characters like the punjabi pop singer avatar singh, the tall khalifullah khan, the japanese martial arts expert, etc. , are unnecessarily stitched together to make it a perfect 10. the real crisis point in the film is nebulous. the film also coasts along at a doleful pace? 185 minutes. kamal? s prosthetic makeup, especially as george bush, fletcher and khan, is a bit of a dampener. but brian jennings? special effects, mainly of the climax tsunami scene, are top class by indian standards .
i was pretty disappointed with this. i was expecting a much better film. the plot was reasonably interesting but i didn' t see the need for kh to play all those roles. i think after indian, he probably got hooked on the whole makeup thing. maybe he should team up with eddie murphy. i shudder to think of the end product !
kamal throughout his film career has been confused. he watches and admires movies that are made for a higher level of intelligentia, but when it comes to making his own movies, he makes it for a lower strata of intellectuals. he is always confused whether or not to make movies that are understandable and appreciatable by both. so he always makes a mixture that reaches neither.
