Dasavatharam

Why my intrusion?

Sri Mahavishnu's ten avathars according to mythology were to correct and lead the human beings on right path. Whereas Ulag Nayagan Kamalhasan's Dasavathar was a cinematic entertainer - a mixture of modern scientifically advanced world and mythology of the yore. Can chemical war be compared to alakala visham when the parkadal was churned with Vasuki as chord and Meru as chruning stone? Devas on one side and Asuras on the other were vying with each others for the amritha that emerged later.
The remake, rather dubbing of the Tamil version into Hindi would have a well reception as the north have the both extremes of believers and non-believers. And in the nothern hemisphere, I swear are the Mathura Vrindavan, Mithila, Ram Janmabhoomi, Rishkesh, Kailash and other holy places in abundant. Hence this, my small endeavour in eliciting in my way the avathars and mentors of this globe.

Go ahead spiritually!

is not Krishnaveni

Is it simply to add to the number ten, the Nambi, a controversial, avatar of twelfth century inducted in the Kamal film Dasavatharam? It raked flutter among the Hindu outfits.However, the court intervened and gave a clean chit to the release of the film, delivering that it has not got any connection with Lord Mahavishnu and the Dasavatharam title hasn't any copyright.
The Nambi episode, whether history or figment of the writer's imagination of clash between Saivites and Vaishnavites does not go with the story. It stands detached.
Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is held above Lord. The virus has to be immersed in mere salt. The salt insufficient story winds, unnecessarily to 12th century, to US, Japan and India. Finally the tsunami which was a killer of lakhs turned saviour of crores. Anyhow, God's, sorry Kamal's design is to kill as little as possible.
Narasimha Rao or Venkoba Rao, Balaram Naidu wants to apprehend the 'criminals' ravodu ravaga - not withstanding RAW. American CIA, Indian intelligence sleuths had to vie with each other to catch the 'terrorist'. At last it was Dr Govind who had to come to the rescue of humankind - natural disaster not to be blamed.
Kamal's talent, genius are evident in every frame, not an iota of doubt over it. Make-ups also distinguish ten Kamals, upto the mark. Voice modulation, a very good endeavour, succeeded almost. The Tamil mixed Telugu accent of Balaram Naidu was superb and evoked humourous comedy, a cinematic, but an officer in police force could not be afford to be so.
Krishnaveni, mother of Aravamudhan who is believed dead, puts up an act extremely appreciable, as mentally disturbed.Hats off to Kamal, sorry Krishnaveni. Japanese karate master excels in his short stint. On the whole, the film is for view one time and one time only.

  6. Thought provoking review... especially "Is it simply to add to the number ten, the Nambi, a controversial, avatar of twelfth century inducted in the Kamal film Dasavatharam?" implicitly tells many things.
