Here is the Dasavatharam Review for You .
Dasavatharam Story :
The film starts of with Govindarajan (Kamal Haasan), a scientist from NASA addressing to the huge crowd at Nehru Stadium where Chief Minister Karunanidhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and American President George Bush seated as chief guests. In his speech, Govindarajan speaks about the history of a statue that has passed through many ages carrying supernatural power.
The movie shifts to couple of years ago Chola Empire 12th century . There Raja Nambi (Kamal Haasan) a Vaishnavaite youth wildly attacks his king’s soldiers for removing a God’s statue from the temple. Enraged King Raja Kulothunga (Napoleon) takes Raja Nambi tied to the statue of idol Lord Vishnu and throws him into the Sea. He is reborn in the 21st century with the date December 20, 2004 to Washington DC as Govind Ramasamy, who works for a Biotech Company in the US. His company is on the verge of selling Bio-chemical weapon to Anti-socials, which may wipe out the human race.
Govind is out to stop this from happening. This situation brings him from Us to india , but his every move had been follwed by Christian Fletcher (Kamal again) who has been assigned by the weapons manufacturer to kill Govind and get the sample back. As movie progresses the tale further moves about for other 4 days where 9 different characters encounter in between each other and interact . In this tale we can see as a mentally-retarded old woman, a Japanese martial arts instructor, a Punjabi singer, a Dalit youth fighting for justice, a tall innocent Muslim, and also US President George Bush. Govind is held captive by Telugu Intelligence officer (Balram Naidu also Kamal) on his return India and the rest of the story is revolves around how Govind retrives the sample and saves the world.
Performances.
The Movie is out and out Kamal Hasan Movie. Kamal Haasan’s Perfection and Dedication visible all through and carried out all 10 characters Perfectly Outstandingly. Grand Ma’s Character, Govind Raj escape scene from Fletche, Kungfu Master Climax figh, Balaram nadar’s Comedy, Rangaraja Nambi Entry Fight are Best scenes.
Despite playing dual roles in the film, Asin hasn’t got much to do on her part. Her work particularly a Bramhin Girl her enunciating in bramhin style is Outstanding. Malikka Sherawat with an item number and few series of sequences fills glamour and perform equally well and sacrifices her life.
Editing, fighting, lighting and settings ,Visual Efects and Graphic Work like Tunami Scene and Tamil Nadu Sky View are top-class.Camera work was outstanding . Music of Himesh Reshmaiyya makes a good soothing and fresh -feel to the songs. While Devi Sri Prasad has done his best in re-recording. This is an awesome movie delivered by K.S.Ravikumar with a technically top-class and visul effects. On Whole ‘Dasavatharam’ not only lives up to all expectations but lives up to the expectations and sets a new benchmark for Indian films.(dasaavatharam, dasavathaaram, dasavataaram, dash avatharam, dashaavataram, dusavataaram tegu, kamal, dashaavataaram, tamil, hindi, movie review, preview , movie talk, dasavataaram talk, story line, synopsis, plot summary, summery, film review, filmreviewdasavatharam movie, dasavatharam, dasavatharam review, dasavatharam reviews, dasavatharam preview)



Kamalahasan’s acting supurb and outstanding. Surely he is one of the best actor in the whole world. No other Indian actor can come any closer to his acting. His performance in all angles and different roles r excellent. His Brahmin role worth watching. Technical, visual effect, camera work and especially two songs and music are worth mentioning.
Kamalahasan has made India very proud. Kamal keep it up the good work.
