Dasavatharam

My Review: Dasavatharam

Plot: a NASA scientist on a run with the biological weapon he designed - an x CIA agent chasing him bent on hunting down the weapon- RAW and FBI trying to catch them both.

Acting :

It is Kamalhasan show all thro. Be it Krishnaveni paati or Balram Naidoo or Kalifullah or Flethcher, he has brought out the variation in body language , voice modulation , accent etc. It is time to savor all Kamal has to offer to us and it will surly leave us satisfied.

Asin - less said the better. It is one of the most irritating role she has done so far. She hams right through and her shrill voice adding to the aural torture.

Among others Mallika has nothing to do except to show what all want to see , M.S. baskar evokes a little laughter though one think he may have used better. It is sad to see legends like Nagesh and K.R.vijaya reduced to miniscule roles.

Music:

Songs are good though with Hindi flavour. BGM would have been good if enough time was given to Devisriprasad.

Cinematography:

Raviverman may come out with his head held high after his brilliant work though some amatuerish CG works mars the good work.

Make-up:

A lot talked off department ends up being lackluster. It feels as if a mask is worn by most of the characters . It would have been great if Kamal depended a little less on make-up which ends up as hindrance to the expressions .

K.S.ravikumar:

He must have put in a lot of hard work and it shows on screen .

Kamal hassan- dialogs:

He is simply awesome in his dialogs. "kadavul illainu sollale irundha nalla irukum", " forgot hiroshima ";;;;;;;;;;"did you forget pearl harbor" are samples of his excellence. There are also flashes of Crazy Mohan hangover at certain points.

Kamal hassan- scriptwriter:

Plot is simple but it gets convoluted by a very complicated script aimed at brings all 10 characters on board. It makes the screen cramped with too many characters and incident. Also scenes suddenly emerge and disappear. Could have taken little care over the screenplay.

+ves:

Kamalhasan = acting

Kamalhasan=dialogs

Kamalhasan=hardwork

Raviverman - cinematography.

-ves:

Kamalhasan=screenplay

Editing

CG works

ASIN

Many dialogs not clear.

Bottomline: a good commercial entertainer from master actor Kamalhassan.

3.5/5
