Kamal Hassan's die-hard fans will love him in his 10 different avatars. But for many others, Dasavatharam will fall short of the huge expectation and hype it had generated. So what went wrong? It had absolutely no story to speak of, and the twists and turns were predictable. In the end, it turned out to be a routine film rendered more aggravating by its incessant near-miss plot structure. You desperately want to like the film for its maddeningly zany characters played out by Kamal Hassan. Alas! There's only so much life an actor can pump into a moribund script. It once again proves the old theory that, without a proper story and script, no film, however big the actors are, can succeed. The plot The film opens in the 12th century where Rangaraja Nambi (Kamal Hassan), a staunch Vaishnavite, opposes the removal of Lord Vishnu's idol by King Kulothunga Chozhan (Napoleon), who is a strong believer of Shiva. Nambi is punished and thrown into the deep sea tied to the idol. His wif...

Kamal Haasan has once again proved that he is a rare kind of artiste who leaves no stones unturned when it comes to novelty on screen. Everyone knows that Kamal Haasan dons ten different roles in ‘ Dasavadharam ’, directed by K.S. Ravikumar. But few would have known how much pains he has taken to handle so much of roles. Each and every role demanded a lot of hard work and pain to the actor, informs Anil Pemgirikar, the co-make up artist. "For example, for the role of a 98 year old lady, the makeup process consumed eight hours per day. We shot for 45 days for this scene. But, you know, the scene runs only for fifteen minutes in the film”, says Anil. Similarly, informs Anil, Kamal watched all possible clippings of President George W. Bush for the scene featuring him and the unit shot the scene for 60 days. The screen time for the scene is just seven minutes. Kamal’s makeup process used to go up to 8-9 hours daily. The actor used to wake up at three o’ clock in the morning to start...

At present, though Devi Sri Prasad is busy with several other projects such as Kanthaswamy, still he accepted the challenge of the background score for Dasavathaaram . He says, “It will definitely be a challenge as there will be 10 Kamals in the movie and each requires a different tone and mood. The background score will be on the lines of a Hollywood score with each role of Kamal’s getting a different musical score and mood.” This is the first time in the world that an actor has appeared in 10 roles in a movie. Almost all the hurdles for ’Dasavatharam’ of Kamal Haasan were cleared and presently sub-titles are getting ready for the movie. The producer is making efforts to release the film on Jun...
