Kamal Haasan’s ‘Dasavatharam’draws effusive early reactions
  • I know Kamal is an atheist. But its news to me that he has anti god
    digs in all his movies. May be i have not noticed in that angle.

    Today I read an article which says that people with high IQ, who are
    brilliant doesnt belive in god. The research says that most of the
    profs and research scholars are atheist. Only people with low IQ
    belive in God.

    Absurd. I would term it as 'thalai ganam'.
  • Story is on Namagiri Thayar for Ramanuja.
  • The more the knowledge, the more the belief in the Almighty.
    People who have real knowledge will get to know the truth behind
    katrathu kai man alavu...
  • I watched the film, it was an entertainer - forget logistics, if we
    can accept Sivaji the Boss, this is no less good or bad. Some make
    ups were horrible, but if you are there for entertainment, Naidu,
    Grandma and Kalif alone will give your returns.

    Ranganathar plays an important role in the movie from the beginning
    to the end where he protects the world, even if Kamal does not accept
    that argument, he has proved it without his knowledge...mysterious
    are the ways of God.. If you read an earlier thread, I had written
    about mini-pralayams, the Tsunami was comparitively one...according
    to the story.

    Asin speaks like a novice but only people in the elite mind set can
    understand the grip in which the reality sets in.

    Expectation is the key to dissapointment. Go in without any
    inhibitions, it is worth the money atleast for the first time.
  • Morning I read our group members reviews and was taken aback. Hindu
    will not give a good feedback for any movie and if Hindu says a movie
    is good, its mostly really good.

    I watched the movie this afternoon. When i came back, I was thinking
    I will be the odd man out in this group, but reading Ravi's mail,I
    feel I have company :)

    I really liked the movie. I dont think any Indian movie, or rather
    tamil movie had such a gripping script. As the reviews commented,
    Kamal has excelled in his 11th role as a script writer. This role was
    his best role, I would say. a fast paced movie, well made with a
    decent story line. First attempt in such a scale.

    Disappointing things are the graphics at many places and the make
    ups. And i dont understand why the 12th century story came into
    picture. No connection between that piece of the story and the
    current story, except the vishnu statue coming ashore in Tsunami.
    Otherwise its a well made movie.

    Its a movie for belivers and non belivers. And as Ravi said, the
    final dialogue of Asin has the greates philosophy. Nothing happens
    without a reason.

    One thing that I dont understand is, why 130 crores??? The spl
    effects are definitely of the best quality.

    I think many are disappointed only because a lot of hype was given
    for the make up and the spl effects, which I feel are the only flaws
    in the movie. Probably they should not have given so much hype for
    the things which are of best quality.

    Boovaragavan's character was the best of the 10. sodapal makesups
    were of Bush, and Kaifulla kahn.

    The comedy dialogues have a great impact of Crazy mohan. Best
    was 'azhagiya singer' - madonna....

    Overall, I enjoyed the movie and can surely see a couple of times
    more.
  • sorry...a bit of typo.

    > One thing that I dont understand is, why 130 crores??? The spl
    > effects are definitely of the best quality.

    I wanted to say - definitely not of best quality.

    AND

    > in the movie. Probably they should not have given so much hype for
    > the things which are of best quality.

    I wanted to say - so much hype should not be given for things which
    are not of best quality.

    MMkr was a masterpiece.
    but did you notice we understood it fully the second time. more so
    the third time etc.
    i still notice something new everytime I watch MMKr

    something thats happened with tintin or asterix only.
    kamal is a genius no doubt.

  • Haha.. this is funny, I was wondering if someone was to write why
    Kamal did not do the female too :-)

    Now come'on, the film was not bad as it is said, i am comparing with
    Shankar's Sivaji or similar.

    Sivaji was all for Rajini, pull Rajini out of the frame, the movie is
    pure junk, shankar delivered nothing but junk.

    One thing is for sure, expectations reduce the joy in life. I had no
    expectations, I enjoyed the movie.

    Be it reading a thread or watching a movie or work or family...
    expect less .... enjoy life and live in the moment...
  • MMKR is a masterpiece, no doubt, Kamal is a genius also, but MMKR is
    not just Kamal, it was the unit from SNV, Manorama, Urvashi,
    V.Ramamurthi , Nagesh, S.Barathi,balaji to Bheem all played a pivotal
    role in the film now that was crafted beautifully by Crazy like the
    perfect surgeon.
    Each one lived the film, they gave it all for the movie and it is now
    among the classics.
    Bale pandya and Sabash meena are other two in similar leagues, while
    MMKR tops the list.

Howdy, Stranger!
