Dasavatharam Review



We planned well in advance for this movie, infact a week earlier. I guess it was worth the wait to see a single actor play ten different roles. The movie started 30 mins late than the scheduled time to my frustration. Once it started your drawn into the thick of action. The first scene opens with Govind Ramasamy (First Character) being felicitated by heads of state of US and India. In the initial prologue, he describes how even the most trivial of the things that happen can be related to an major event( Such as the butterfly effect i.e , tiny variations in air pressure caused by flapping of wings can make the difference between a tornado occuring in one place and another place). The story starts from 1200 AD where there is tension between Shivanites(ppl who worshio Lord Shiva) and Vaishanavites(ppl who worshio Lord Vishnu). You have a Chola King trying to remove a statue of Lord Vishnu from the sanctum of temple. Here you see the Rangaraja Nambi(Second Character), a staunch vaishnavite who opposes the move and hence he is thrown to the sea chained through his skin along with the Lord Vishnu statue. Seeing this, I couldnt help recollect a line from an earlier tamil film starring Rajni where he says " ஹரியும் சிவனும் ஒன்னு , அ்ைத அறியாதவன் வாயில மண்ணு..!!! ".
