Nadipu Kadavul Kamal Haasar's Dasavatharam Part 9

..otherwise compare to JV ,Nakeeran has better track records for investigative journalism Cool

Anantha vikatan may have better printing paper quality over nakeeran Laughing

Moreover ,Nakeeran don't have gaandu on kamal ,like Vikatan have. Huh?!

their jalra quality is also very well

apart frm movies, i dont know much about their politics viewpoint and neutrality amount, but i feel they do atleast a decent job in that front. maybe not as good as nakkeeran, i dont know.

i belive nakkeeran has no reason to false praise or bias against any political party. they simply trash all the parties

Dasa has broken all the box office records till date. Still there are some people not accepting the facts.

Producers sonnallum kekkarathilae, Actor, Director sonallum namberathilae, Distributors, Threatre Managers sonallum purinchikirathella, Boxofficemojo mathiri websites publish panninalum, phone pottu thappa irukkumnu thirumba thirumba sollarathu.

aditya

also add, economic times, and other national dailies sonnaalum kekkurathillai. avlo en, oru velai Nadigar rajinikanth sonnaalum kekka maattainga nnu nenaikkiren

somewhere i read in a blog where a lady trashes dasa becos kamal said that he awaits a period where hollywood ppl will receive Indian awards...becos she finds that statemetn by kamal as a mandaikanam mikuntha pechu and so she traches dasa

innum sila per solraainga, kamalai romba paratta kudaathaam, enna avarukku headweight jaasthi aayidumaam

aanaa matha actors romba simple aa dress pannuvaaangalaam, appadiyee veettai vittu veliya varuvaaingalaam, athunaala avingellaam romba adakkamaana nadigargalaam.

dasa padam odinaalm odichu kandathum vanthu kandathayum pesuthuna. kamal padam odinaalm pesuthunga, odalainaalum pesithunga...

Sakala sir - interesting things you have mentioned - interesting coz, I know quite a few ppl who hate/dislike Kamal for the heck of it - one ardent kamal-hater told me once that 'kamal's eyes are full of sexy passion - there is so much negative vibrations in there' - ippadiyey ponaal, kamal podara shoes ooze hidden obscene intents, avaroda shoe lacela kaamam irukku, apdinnu solluvaaronnu thonichu - enna karumamo namakku puriyavillai!!

Quote:

And the lesson we learn about films is that, no one person can claim responsibility for it. It is a democratic process and a great deal of teamwork. If at all anyone can take credit, it is the person who says it is good. But even he is not alone for just a few cannot make that difference. Film ultimately is the most democratic art form I have ever seen.

when we call him ulaganaayagan, he says that everyone is such!

Recap of "4" weeks run @ Malaysia Box Office so far"

1. June 12 - 15: Dasavatharam - $ 601,037 (US Figures) {Opening Weekend}

2. June 19 - 22: Dasavatharam - $ 394,001 (US Figures) {-34.5% drop}

3. June 26 - 29: Dasavatharam - $ 171,904 (US Figures) {-56.4% drop}

4. July 3 - 6: Dasavatharam - $ 87,836 (US Figures) {-48.9% drop}

Total as of July 6th is - $1,591,897 (US Figures) or 6,84,83,408.94 INR (6.8 Crore)

Malaysia Box Office reports are given for "4" days compared to the normal "3" days pretty much everywhere else around the world. So..it goes from Thursday-Sunday rather than Friday-Sunday.

So....the total collection of $1,591,897 is what DASA has made at the Malaysian Box Office since the day of it's release until July 6, 2008. Out of the $1,591,897....only $337,119 was collected during the weekdays or in this case from Monday-Wednesday. The remaining $1,254,778 was made during the Thursday-Sunday period of the 4 weeks since it's release. Hope...this answers your question.

Maddy,
Not only AP, its a clean sweep in Kerala as well

One more factor is this:
Outside Chennai, its done very well in other areas of TN.
In very few B/C centers, it might be slightly lagging w.r.t to biggest ever slot, but the difference is the profit margin is better for Dasa because of the rate at which it was sold. Aascar
In most other centers, its the outright winner.

A crucial factor for 10A's success has been the lady audience segment, which in recent times has not been our forte. (VV was still a BB but yet it couldn't penetrate certain sections of the audience).
Repeat viewings and lady audience -> Aandavar's screenplay + KSR

Kamal Rules again in South India Box office with Dasa.

Chennai Box Office (July 04-06, 2008)

Tuesday, 08 July , 2008, 14:54

Dasavatharam continues to rule the CBO, fourth week in a row. At number two is the new Bharath release Munniyandi Vilangiyal Moonrammandu, which took a good opening on the first day but fell on the second day because of bad word-of-mouth. At number three is Subramaniapuram, which had houseful screenings thanks to a limited release in small screens. However, it is attracting only the youth—family audiences are keeping away because of excessive violence.
In the fourth position is Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, which made mincemeat of its opposition Love Story 2050. Though the latter opened at bigger and better screens, it bombed after the first show. Finally, in the fifth position is The Incredible Hulk (and its Tamil version Pachamanithan), which is steady.

Last week's number two, Ayudham Seivom, has disappeared from the BO reckoning because it was a flop.

Note : Ratings are based on the box office collections and the cost of the film

Dasavatharam
Cast: Kamal Hassan (in 10 roles), Asin, Mallika Sherawat
Director : K.S.Ravikumar
The hype around the 10 roles
No story,technically bad

Marmayogi - 100 crores - after that Marudanayagam

perfection can never be achieved - we try for that though...

biggest ever blockbuster in Tamil...

Dasa is a team work...

with Rajni, it is a healthy competetion..
anyone can overtake the other one...

Govind was the toughest character...

cinema as an art is more important/significant than the organizations/unions (relevant to the fights in Mallu film organizations...)

exactly ,I am really proud of myself to hv extrapolated these numbers myself but of fear that it might be rubbished hadnt posted it yesterday.

I talked with the person who screened the movie in mpls and he(vera enna cricket connection thaan btw he was just one of the 4 who had bought it) said that a total of arnd 10K tickets were sold in the last 4 weeks.
10K tickets at $12 approx. = 120K.Given that mpls is a mid sized city and atleast 10 more cities wud have done similar business .its safe to say that 1.2 mil is a sure thing collected.

I personally want Aandavar to do more such films coz there is no substitue for success

Dasavatharam's incredible box office run – an update
July 08, 2008

Dasavatharam has grossed US $14,683,762 at the end of the third week after it hit the silver screens worldwide. However, the amount does not include the collections made in North America and from certain parts of India. After learning more about the Butterfly Effect and Chaos Theory weaved into the storyline, the audience seemed to

Dasavatharam
have understood Dasavatharam better. In fact, people have been thronging the theatres to watch the film yet again after learning about these theories. It is inferred that if the present trend continues, Dasavatharam could easily be on its way to becoming one of the highest grossing South Indian movies around the globe. In Chennai city alone (not including the suburbs) it has grossed about Rs. 6.5 crores. With the collection details for the fourth week expected soon, the trade analysts have estimated the world wide collections to go beyond Rs. 100 crores in less than three weeks time!

Joe sir - i beg to differ with you on this - there is sufficient reason to suspect that the whole Rajkumar 'kidnapping' was a very-well planned move by the late Raj ji's wife and family to extort money from both TN and Karnataka govts using Veerappan ! Rajji wud have never died in Veerappans hands coz that was not the plan at all - 'nee adikkara maadhiri adi, naan valikkara madhiri nadikkiren - rendu perum serndhu kasu pannalam' was the logic - late Rajji's wife apparently got embroiled with Veerappans demands for money for letting her family's granite stone (granite stone business was one of their mainstays) lorries pass thru his territory - and in order to give him one lumpsome amount, the whole kidnap drama was staged! veerappan got wat he wanted and the money was from the taxpayers coffers of TN and Karnataka ! 'ilichha vaay' public from both states have forgotten the whole episode and life goes on normally!

From: ajithfederer on Tue Jul 8 18:16:01 2008.

http://tomesflicks.blogspot.com/2008/06/dasavatharam.html

The lates magnum opus from India's most relentlessly envelope-pushing, genre-experimenting and still it's most prodigiously gifted Thespian is, boiled down to it's very essence, a long chase movie. Yes, that most generic of plot threads is strung along a 3 hour running time upon which Dr. Kamal Hasan's views, opinions, thoughts and musings on topics as diverse as Religion Vs. Atheism Vs. Science, caste conundrums, bio-warfare, Chaos Theory and The Butterfly Effect are judiciously pegged and plugged at various intervals. It's all giddily entertaining, thankfully, as the whole enterprise is shot through with a commercial sensibility firmly anchored by generous heapings of comedy and wittily punning dialogue (penned,like the story and screenplay, by Kamal himself).

As Baradway Rangan so eloquently articulated in his blog, the only problem with the whole Kamal approach to being layered beneath tons of prosthetics, something fans have been treated to for the better part of a decade, is that it inevitably gives rise to a question: Are you supposed to be reacting to the performance or the facial tics, mannerisms, goggle eyed glassed, scars and accent heavy patois it comes bundled in?

Such musings can be swept aside for Dasavatharam as for once, it's the Performances which take the honours, swooping down victoriously and snatching at least 4 out of 10 incarnations from the jaws of Derisive Disbelief on the part of the audience, for the most shocking thing about this high budget Hoopla that has as it's USP the assailing of 10 distinct characters on the part of it's Star, a first ever for Tamil cinema, is the Low Rent Make Up.

If Shivaji's colossal budget couldn't detract from it's low concept,you at least saw the moolah splashed on screen.

Dasavatharam is delightfully high concept (for a masala) wedded, unfortunately, to shoddy make up and schlocky effects.

Kamal as George Bush, CIA assassin Fletcher, a Brahmin Nanogenarian, Japanese Aikido Master and an 8 feet tall Muslim is a disaster where acceptance of how realistic these characters are supposed to look is used as a yardstick but his pitch perfect Yank accent, Brahmin enunciation and Japanese rolls of the "R"s help soothe the ears, tiding over what your eyes refuse to accept, which for the most part look as if white, wrinkly dough was slapped liberally about Kamal's face, hands and thighs.
But the 12th century priest Nambi and Dalit crusader Vincent Poovaraagan are master classes in bringing characters to life. Watch the former cut down a Shaivite King for daring to uproot a Vishnu idol in flawless Chola era Tamil and the latter castigate a sand smuggler in a tongue wrapped mellifluously around a pitch perfect Tirunelvelli accent(which gave this viewer 2 reasons to be thankful of the film's excellent English sub-titling) and you can see why Kamal's still miles ahead of his contemporaries in the acting stakes.
But the doozy is investigator Naidu, the most rib-tickling creation Kamal has birthed since Kameshwaran the Palghat cook mixed Tamil and Malayalam to serve heaping helpings of mirth way back in Michael,Madhana,Kama Rajan.
Mallika's Hot, Asin's Not, thanks to a script that has the latter go from spunky to squealy to outright annoying.
In the end, you need to ask yourself, in the Creative Void where most Tamil movies seem to languish these days, how many films dare even put ideas and concepts in a mass entertainer, and while the Boxing Day Tsunami of 2004 has been mentioned, crudely in comedic punchlines in most movies, and disgustingly inserted into a song lyric in one, Dasavatharam dares to culminate in its actual depiction. As the mile high waves cascade down and wash people and property away, it ties up plot threads, inter-connects others and bridges a 12th century plotline on religious discord to 21st century musings on Religion and Causality. That takes creativity and guts..in regretfully short supply elsewhere on the Tamil Cine Landscape.

Anbe Sivam's sermons on Socialism and Marxism married to the Road Movie a little too hard to swallow?

Aalavandhan's psychedelic psycho thriller a little too unpalatable?

Hey Ram's reactionary approach to Gandhi's pacifism wedded to art house sensibilities too glacially paced for your liking?

Well, a swig of Dasa may be just what the doctor ordered.

In Chennai city alone (not including the suburbs) it has grossed about Rs. 6.5 crores. With the collection details for the fourth week expected soon, the trade analysts have estimated the world wide collections to go beyond Rs. 100 crores in less than three weeks time!

Why should we fear when NOV is here

From: Thirumaran on Wed Jul 9 0:25:51 2008.

I understand your feelings about my comment on magazine like nakkeeran! Smile

Nakeeran is 100 times better than so-called 'never-go-out of AC room' karuthu kandasaamy intelectual magazines Huh?!

..without Nakeeran gopal ,Rajkumar would have died in hands of veerappan. Huh?!

//Dig

If you value Nakeeran extremely high that is absolutely fine. Athukaaga ethukku innoru magazine vachi ethukku compare panni paesanum

In my opinion Nakeeran is not even any paise worth compared to the other Karuthu Kandasamy Magazine. Ithu maathiri paesitae poana intha thread vaera route la thaan poagum. So Let us agree to disagree as usual and stop this

From sify to any other magazine, based on the news different people have different set of opinion critizising the magazine's biasness, standards, etc, etc.. There is no point in asking about that. It was coming and going to come. In the same manner you making fun of Karuthu kandasamy's magazine also can be taken. But the key is, it is noway related here and not needed in this thread also as that Karuthu Kandasami is not doing any box office collection report or analyzing a movie standards. At least that cannot be connected to this thread as far as i know.

They had a HUGE collage of Kamal stills - it was awesome. Dasa has been running there very successfully. Co passengers in kannada were saying 'Yaenu Acting - Sakkathaage maadidhaarappa Kamal'.

When Kothai accidentally hits against the chola mandapam , she was uttering the dialogue that "ungallaum enakkum endha jenmatthilayum sambandham illai"

I think this is a marvellous piece of direction,screenplay and ability to link scenes. People who complain about screenplay should see this. Also it confirms that Kamal portrays Asin and Govind as modern day Nambi and Andal.

Also there is some link between the eagle symbol of US president which carries arrows in one hand and the garuda which is hit by lot of arrows in 12th century

also why both Mallika and Fletcher get killed by a sharp object piercing their chest..... there are lot of things in this movie and only Kamal can correct people's opinion

Dasa makes millions of minds to think, come up with interesting stuff. Kamalji, only uou fossible Thumbs Up!

and here is one frm orkut, with my additions..

Quote:

Dasa is a school-course with all subjects covered
Just thought I must share this strange rescemblence of Dasa to various possible subjects it covers...

They are:

1) History - Ancient Tamil History, Chola dynasty etc...
2) Geography - Tectonic Plates, Tsunami etc...
3) Biology - Virus, Bio Technology, Ebola-Marburgh
4) Physics - Chaos Theory and Butterfly Effect, heat related shaking of corpse's legs etc..
5) Civics and Social Science - Civic sense in prevention of outbreak of virus, Environmental Issues such as Sand Mafia and lack of civic sense, About how Indian bureaucracy is etc... (Scenes where Balram Naidu is concerned, a lot of Indian Red Tapist policies are satirically criticized).
6) Chemistry - Nacl, corrosion of steel in the statue
7) English - Southern drawl American Accent(Fletcher), Indian accent(Asin, Sai Ram etc...) and cultivated speaker's normal unaccented nutral English (Govind's English) President Bush's verbose accent
8) Linguistics - Do I need to explain? Kamal's accent changes, language changes(Ancient pure Tamil and Japanese and nellai\telugu mixed tamil accents, brahmnin agraharam tamil, ect for instance)
9) Religion - Vaishnavism and various religions in the movie including Islam, Christianity etc..
10) Philosophy - God's existence versus nature's course of journey
11) Meta-Physics - the application of a Chaos theory butterfly effect to the extent of mass destruction of lives which in turn saves much more lives
12) Sprirituality - Kamal and Asin's relationship in Nambi Kotai episode as well as the Govind Andal episode would explain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirituality)
What do you guys say!! (Add more if you have found out some more subjects)

13. Criminal science/forensic science - Chris thinks as a criminal and how Govind thinks to escape his clutches.

14. Cinema - How to make a blockbuster with all ingredients of a classical \ worldclass movie

Quote:

I thought kamal would get huge applause when one guy from the movie said 'neenga padikatha methai',but none clapped ..so far i've watched the movie 6 times but not even once he got applause for this dialogue....

BUt i have a doubt abt the collection figures as i had seen in another website (probably indiaglitz) that the collection figures were close to 4.6 crores at the end of 3 weeks itself. anyway, i will check that out again and give an update soon.

and i dont get one more point. everybody knows that dasa's kerala rights was sold to the distributor Henry for 2.35 crores. and now it has collected almost or more than twice its investment. and these people just call it as "hit'?? it should at least be called as "superhit"

poovaragan character impresses me alot...when he dies, no strong BGM but using the kavithai itself as BGM is touching and brings tears. same teknik used when dovind and asin escapes from santhanabarathi gang. kavithayai BGM aagavum kanneer varavaikkavum use seutha ulaganaayagan, superb

also noticed one thing, both nambi and povaragan character, eventho when facing opposition and life threat, they not only stand stubborn, they never never try violence, or bad words and be good till end....gr8.

when nambi sings, he just says that he cant bow down to shaiva, but never never says a bad word on shaiva.

same for poovaraghan, even after he knew that he gonna be killed, he tries to save his sagas. when tsunami comes, he saves kid. and his decency during his intro scene...(to asin)karpazippu enru ungalai sollalai, intha mannai karpazikkaravanai sonnen....what a maturity in character creation.

Dasavatharam in Bahrain
Dear Kamalians,

Its a great pleasure for me to join the community and post a first message from Bahrain. Dasavathram is still running with weekends full packed. I have never seen any film running more than one week. The average running time is jus 3-4 days and if the movie is better, it goes up to 2 weeks...at that is the maximum but our Dasa is nearing 1 month. I hope it will run for another 2 weeks and that would be a record in Bahrain for any tamil movie.

One unfortunate thing is that, the first scence (Rangaraja Nambi) is being cut and we have all missed that wonderful scene Eventhough, I saw the film four times, it is very embarassing that I go every week to the theatre and ask if that scene is included. I will have to wait for the oficial DVD release to watch that scene.

Great Work Guys....I will update you if I have info abt Dasa in Bahrain...
From: Amarshiva on Wed Jul 9 15:01:25 2008.

btw, has the hindi version released..

i saw in some website...that it was released on 8 and it's going great guns are something.. that's tamil.com I guess..

Just waiting for Dasa to cross 160 cr benchmark, which will beat Sholay..the lifetime movie for collections..

1. given the scope of article, there is verygud neutrality in the article. why to see the overall magazine's viewpoints, standpoints and compare them here???

2. lets leave which magazine put what. instead, we shud see whom, in reality said what (via that articles)

2. BTW i did not say anything wrong about the credibility of the BO news if u see my post. I can understand the difference between a article/ news item and the interview taken. Absolutely there is no need for Sathyam Manager, Mayajaal Manager, etc to lie on the collections they got. More than that nakeeran or any other magazine wont be doing this, without talking to them and keep the news as they said and that too for BO report. Actually i am enjoying every bit of huge success of Dasa

I felt like he was promoting the movie rather than "reviewing it" like a critic!

I dont have a problem in his promoting the movie, if he has done under some other title rather than "madhan thirai paarvai"!

u either complain without reading\watching an article\show, or complain, after atching. but u just complain. thatsall. this shows that u didnt watch thiraiparvai properly...mathan was keep on telling his negative remarks then and there, maybe u forgot them after knowing about the glory of dasa.

even audience are not so dumb like.....there were healthy questioning and impostantly, no jalra

one guy asked KSR that u told ppl that kamal is coming in 10 roles, but did u prepare ppl for the other stuff u told in the movie, thats how the whole KSR's interaction with his labour guy came out.

Dasa Impact on My Son

Yesterday night my 5 years old son came to me and told he wanted us to take him to Kanchipuram on this weekend to see my parents. I told him it is not possible for this weekend. He asked my wife she replied him that if they go there i would be alone then .

My Son replied that "Daddy than Kamal fan ache, Dasavatharathula varamadhiri Perumal daddya Kappathuvar".

I wasn't able to control my laugh then.

Yes Dasa has something for all types of audience.

Thrru, please watch episode 3 again before commenting.

Madhan was on dope/coke/ecstasy/meth while doing the show.
In general, he was whining and complaining and stuff.

1. He would ask a question to Ravi Varman, and then without listening to Ravi's answer, he would ask the same question again
2. Ravi Varman kitta poi re-recording nalla illenna sonna enna artham?
3. He referred to the 2nd half as "comedy track"!!!!!!
4. He repeatedly said the screenplay disappointed him because of the compromises made - Ravi Varman vehemently denied it and he gave some fantastic replies to Madhan's nonsense
5. This takes the cake
Madhan: "Kamal kai-a thookki Om Namo Narayanayah solra scene la camera angle keezhendhu kaatreenga.. aana innum better-a pannirukkalaamo? mela clouds la varum nu naan edhirpaarthen (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) (this is nothing compared to what followed)
indha discovery channel-la ellam clouds move aagara madhiri kaamippaangale.. andha madhiri vechirukkalaame!"

6. Even his concluding note on the movie was negative

In short, (i haven't seen Suhasini's "reviews") Madhan sure is giving her a run for her money

bala, i knew all the so called -ve s mathan said but maybe i too forgot them in glory of dasa. but mathan is way far ahead and better becos, inspite of his nonsense(which he has right to show) he called in all the tech ppl behind dasa and also included audience. sometimes he expicitly asked if audience had something to ask here, and there. in that way we shud praise him, for bringing in the right souls to scree, especially, yugi sethu, who made a superb comparison to passion of christ & Nambi drowing scenes

You mean that 'Ulaga Cinema' series in AV? It was written by Chezhiyan - Cinematographer of Kalloori. One doesn't have to watch those films after reading that series

From: Prabhu Ram on Thu Jul 10 9:01:32 2008.

Chezhiyan writes pretty well IMO. In fact he wields different pen. His series in AV is a well written intro designed to introduce and attract general fublic.

But he can be pretty nuanced and deep. In the June (inaugual) issue of the new literary magazine வார்த்தை, he wrote an excellent essay about the 'close-up shot'.

The philosophy behind a close-up shot, its purpose and intent, how masters around the world have used it, simple examples of contemporary films across the world that have used this as a powerful film technique, how it has been consistently abused in our films and most importantly what ise behind the mentality and approach that explain this misuse.

I was pleasantly surprised to read such a scholarly yet accessible exposition of film techniques in a essay written in Tamil.

I also aware of this from the info from my collegues ..Rajini is also a great pulling power in Andra .

I was asking ,in what basis #1 position is determined ..based on fan base or based on lastest hit ..Because I heard Anniyan was a huge hit ,so do we need to include Vikram also along with Kamal and Rajini ?
From: Nerd on Thu Jul 10 22:54:30 2008.

Joe, vikram has only one hit there (Dhill and sEthu were just about OK). Anniyan > CM though. Don't know what happened to his majaa which was a flop in TN. And people don't expect vikram's movies in AP like they do for Rajini/Kamal..

Aascar Ravichandran - filmmaker beyond limits
Aascar Ravichandran has become Tamil Nadu's biggest name in film production especially after the release of 'Dasavatharam'. Known to be the biggest risk taking producer, Ravichandran has produced and distributed almost all the major hits of Tamil Cinema over the last three years making many wonder what his 'magic potion' is.

The impressive list of movies he has distributed includes Pokkiri, Chithiram Pesuthadi, Dishyum, Thambi, Parijatham, Thalai Nagaram, Vettaiyadu Villaiyadu, Varalaru, Rendu and Thiruvilayadal Aarambam.

He is also famous for taking up the production and distribution of movies with good stories that run into troubled times financially. Ravichandran has quite a success percentage even with these endevours.

The list of movies he has produced has the potential to make an average producer go green with envy. The line up is simply stunning.

Vaanathaipola, Poovellam Un Vasam, Roja Kootam, Ramana, Sollamale, Jay Jay, Tagore (Telugu)Anniyan, Maja, Dishum, Unnale Unnale, Pachaikili Muthucharam, Marudhamalai and Dasavatharam.

Two more films for 2008 are currently under production in the form of Vaaranam Aayiram and Ananda Tandavam.

Aascar Ravichandran had been distributing Jackie Chan movies in India for well over a decade. It was this association that brought the international star to the audio launch function of Dasavatharam.

Filmmakers need to have a vision in order to make it big. Aascar Ravichandran can be termed a vivacious visionary and a magnificent go-getter.

Anyone with a trend setting story for films? Knock on the doors of Aascar Ravichandran….your dream could very well become a reality no matter what the production costs are….

Kamal Haasan's 'Dasavatharam' has entered the fifth week of its release and is still going strong and secure at the box office. The crowds are still thronging to the theatres in both rural and urban centers.

Directed by K S Ravikumar, the movie featuring Kamal Haasan in ten different roles has won the admiration of the masses in spite of mixed reviews. 'Dasavatharam' is raking in the moolah in right way and Oscar Ravichandran should be smiling all the way to the bank.

Interesting to note --
it is said that once krishna's very handsome son Samb played a prank on a saint by acting as a pregnant woman .
he hide a moosal( an iron thing use for grinding )inside cloth and asked the saint that if it was a boy or girl. the saint understood the prank and he curse him that this moosal will be the cause for the end of the yadvas.
so scared Samb throws that moosal into the sea where a fish swallow it and caught by a fisherman and he sold the moosal to ironsmith who used to make arrows. so yadvas dies fighting among themselves using those arrows and one arrow was with a hunter who aimed at krishna's feet thinking it deer.
hope this will help

Kamal Hassan would not have wanted for inspiration while playing Vincent Poovaraghan, the anti-sand mining activist of Dasavatharam, given that Tamil Nadu’s southern coast has almost entirely been taken over for mining.

Poovargahan would have fitted in perfectly here. Concerns over mining have extended beyond sea erosion and the loss of fishermen's livelihood. Not only does the mining along these coasts involve thorium, which raises fears of radiation-induced retardation, but a lot of it is also illegal.

In August, an exporter was charged with the illegal mining of thorium, which is the “future of India’s energy programme”. Revenue department officials of Kanyakumari had seized six sand-laden lorries at Meignanapuram. A lot of thorium, export of which is punishable under the Atomic Energy Commission Act, was found in the sand. The arrest was the first in the region, though illegal mining of thorium is said to be going on for long. “This has been going on for 20 years now,” fumes Poovarasan, an activist with East Coast Research and Documentation, Tirunelveli.

“Companies get licences to mine and export certain components of the sand, which would contain iluminite, zircon, garnet and monazite, the source for thorium. The company is expected to return the other components, taking only the mineral they have a permit to export. As thorium is a radioactive material, it should either be handed over to Indian Rare Earths Limited (IRE) or stored securely. There is every possibility that they could be exporting the monazitic sands to countries such as Japan,” says an official.

India is the second-largest natural source of thorium, which was expected to solve India’s shortage of uranium resources with reactors such as Bhabha Atomic Research Centre’s Advanced Heavy Water Reactor deriving two-thirds of its energy from thorium-based fuels. The mineral is found in abundance along the coasts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, particularly Tuticorin, Tirunelveli, Kanyakumari, where IRE has operations at Manavalakurichi to mine the ore. Aluva and Chavara in Kerala also have mineral-rich sands.

These sands are a treasure trove for the mining companies. “No one can be sure of what they do with it (monazite) if it is not returned to IRE. It is possible that it is being exported as sand to countries such as Japan, where there is a demand,” says a mine manager in IRE. “As no one keeps a close watch, it is not possible to say whether they do it or not,” says DD Manimaran of Tanjore.

Poovarasan says the companies have been known to export thorium-rich sands through Tuticorin port. However, R S Lal Mohan, a marine biologist and activist in Kanyakumari, points out that there is no device to measure the radiation level of the soil. “The government is not investing in this or studying the issue. I have found that even the Tuticorin Port is not equipped with any device to check radiation,” he says.

In the absence of any such detecting device, the only identifying factor would be colour. However, monazite, like zircon and garnet, has a brown or reddish hue, while rutile and iluminite are black.

Government officials say that though the companies are required to hand over monazite to the IRE or store it safely, there is no way in which they could check whether or not this is done. “Though the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board is supposed to check on the safety of these storage units every three months or so, we don’t really know what the companies do with the monazite,” an official says.

Few villagers understand the importance of thorium, but most believe the sand is radioactive and leads to mental health problems, cancer and kidney failure. Fisherfolk also complain that effluents are often released into the sea, killing marine life and, thus, their livelihood. The villagers also allege that mining has depleted groundwater levels and water resources are contaminated by seawater.

The companies allegedly use force to deal with any opposition. “They employ villagers to keep tabs on what's happening in the village and also to ensure support,” says George, a resident of Uvari who filed a case against the companies near his village for causing sea erosion and endangering the population.

In Medalam and Mel Medalam, at least 500 villagers have been fighting the companies for years. An activist says the struggle began in 1984 when the region was surveyed and found to be particularly rich in thorium. “The IRE started mining from 1986. The villagers protested when they found that sea erosion left them no land. The IRE withdrew, but a private mining company bought the land and started operations. The company even filed a case against 550 people for causing damage to their property in 2004,” says the activist.

It may need more than a Poovaraghan to save the future of India's energy programme.

A god’s metal

Discovered in the 19th century, thorium is a mineral with many uses

Thorium was discovered in Norway by M T Esmark though it was analysed by the Swedish chemist Jons Jakob Berzelium, who named the mineral after Thor, the Norse god of thunder, in 1828. Thorium had no use until 1885 when it was used in gas mantles.

Thorium occurs naturally in sand and rocks and is three times more abundant than uranium, and as common as lead. It occurs in several minerals, but is usually extracted from monazite, a rare earth, thorium-phosphate mineral. India is second to Australia in being the largest source of the mineral in the world, accounting for anywhere between 25 and 32 per cent of the reserves.

Like uranium and plutonium, the mineral can be used as fuel in nuclear reactors. Thorium also can be used in for the dating of fossils, as radiation shields and also for coating of tungsten wires. Thorium dioxide is used in the of making camera lenses, as a catalyst and in gas mantles.

Workers have no protection

Villagers along the coast bear the brunt of the effects of radiation

Thorium is a radioactive material and anyone working with it needs protection. However, according to marine biologist R S Lal Mohan, the villagers who work in private sand mining companies don’t know what they are handling. He says they are unaware that thorium is radioactive and, as a result, don’t take precautions. Nor do the government or the firms provide any protection.

People working for IRE have, on the other hand, been asking for insurance. However, though the government has insured the staff against cancer, it has not made any such effort for workers who handle the soil every day.

Thorium is an alpha-emitter but sometimes also emits beta and gamma rays, says Mohan, who has studied the levels of radiation in villages such as Chinnavellai, Periyavellai, Arokyapuram, Melmedalam, and Keelmedalam of Kanyakumari district.

The radiation in these areas causes cancer, abonormalities such as Down’s Syndrome and mental illness, he says explaining that once changes occur in the gonads, the DNA is affected and has a multiplier effect as it is carried down through generations. However, the government does not seem to be studying these effects.

Mohan quotes studies that show there are changes in the mitochondrial DNA of people working along the Tamil Nadu coast. Villagers ought to be advised not to sit or come into direct contact with the radioactive soil. In some cases, even houses could emit radiation, having been built from soil from the area. In these cases, the villagers are advised to keep the doors open while sleeping.

The nuclear factor

Sand mining isn’t the only worry, the nuclear plant is an additional concern

“Koodankulam is a beautiful coastal village,” begins Anton Gomez, convenor, National Forum for Environmental Protection, and long-time campaigner against the nuclear project there. “They are planning to manufacture plutonium while claiming to meet our energy needs,” he alleges. The land on which the nuclear project sits was once highly fertile, “lacking only irrigation”, claims Gomez, adding that he and other activists have for years been asking for the project’s withdrawal. The activists say it will harm the environment as well as those living in the vicinity.

The Koodankulam nuclear plant is being built by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India and the first unit is expected to be operational in 2009, with the second going on stream in 2010. The Indo-Russian project was initiated in 1988 but went into cold storage for 10 years, following protests that highlighted the possibilities of nuclear pollution and leaks. The two units are expected to produce 2 gigawatt of energy and will be the largest nuclear power generation complex in India. Not that this makes it any more attractive to the villagers around.

Dasavatharam still running successful!
This has been the first ever blockbuster of the year and no doubt it. Dasavatharam is still making high waves right throughout the globe till now. A set of flicks have been released after Dasavatharam has hit the screen. But Kamal Haasan has been the person who is not bothered about either success or failure of his flicks. He is now all set ready to kick-start his big budget film ‘Marmayogi’.

The film’s launch was slated to be held on July 13 at Grand Hotel in Mumbai and now it has been postponed to July 25. So, masses much before they would have their Dasavatharam fever getting down will have to prepare themselves for another blockbuster from our Uzhaga Nayagan…

But Sathyam site shows there are tickets avaialble for Tonight and Tomorrow. Confused

only one ticket is available in today night show and few tickets available in tomorrow night show. Razz

Rajaram Anne

I called Sathyam after seeing their site. But they said all the shows are housefull till today nght show.

So yesterday i saw the movie again in Udhayam 3:00 P.M shpw. The show was houseful. I bought the ticket in black.

The show had a full of Family audiences and their responses were too good.

And i also asked few of the Theatre employees about movie's running. They said it is doing extremely good. In week days it is 75% full for evening and Night show and weekends are hpuseful.

Dasavatharam – why it didn’t work for me

Even fans sympathetic to Dasavatharam have expressed their doubts about Kamal Haasan’s 11th avataram in the film: as scriptwriter. It isn’t necessary to do a close reading of the film to see what went wrong with the movie –even to the common moviegoer the script, for a movie so overwrought, feels clearly underwritten. For me, Dasavatharam also felt like the most expensive Indian comedy ever made. Underneath its epic scale, it is really one more typical screwball comedy that Kamal has patented over the years, starting with Michael Madana Kamaraj and ending (or so we thought) with Mumbai Express. But in Dasavatharam he has resurrected that formula again, except it now gets a 60 crore treatment.

Having shelled out 400 bucks for a ticket (the going rate for a first day, first show for this movie in multiplexes across the country), I thought if it didn’t live up to the hype, I could, in that time honored tradition of film critics, complain about what a hollow spectacle it was. But emerging from the theatre what I wanted to know was this–where’s the spectacle? Where did the 60 crores go? Because you don’t

see it on screen. The hype led us to believe we were in for an epic thriller that would, if not rival Hollywood, dwarf anything else in Indian cinema.

But Dasavatharam fails to provide a single set piece that is suspenseful, inventive or inspired. The grandeur, drama and intensity of the film’s prologue, set in the 12 century, are never again matched in the movie. As the plot unravels, you realize with a sinking heart (which has now joined your wallet) that the movie’s thrilling opening act has little to do with the rest of the story, except in the most tangential way.

A voice-over at the beginning tells us (and this should have been warning enough) that what is about to unfold is related to chaos theory. The movie ends with demonstrating how everything in the universe seems to have its own checks and balances: by intelligent design or unknown, evolutionary forces – you’re asked to take your pick. Nice. But a smaller budget, a more engaging script, with a little less America in it could have accomplished the same, and accomplished it with the comic aplomb Kamal is famous for.

What follows is one long screwball comedy (a race to save the planet) that begins in Washington D.C. and ends in Chennai, just as the tsunami is poised to strike. What is particularly offensive is Kamal and Asin (thrown away in a shrill, exasperating role) conducting a lover’s quarrel on a beach just devastated by the tsunami, littered with the wounded and the dead. Most of the comedy in Dasavatharam is intended, but part of it is unintended.

Kamal Haasan is a brilliant comic gifted with a rich comedic imagination, and he should really push that. We tend to forget that in the movie he not only impersonates ten different characters, but even speaks like ten different characters. The special effect here is not just prosthetics but Kamal’s gift for miming voices.

While his Indian avatars here are rendered with near-perfection, his American impersonations of George Bush and an ex-CIA agent are funny in a dreadful, embarrassing way. Kamal’s Balram Naidu, a maddeningly bureaucratic RAW agent gloating with Telugu pride, is his subtlest, most brilliant comic creation. Another character, that of a Christian dalit activist, is impeccably delineated. Kamal’s triumph here is rendering the Tamil spoken by this character pitch perfectly. A third, a Japanese martial arts master, also feels genuine, for the way the star is able to mimic a master’s body language (and a little Japanese). None of them are caricatures; they are complex, believable impersonations.

The American impersonations, on the other hand, are too broad, and without believable detail. Worse, the make up for them sucks. Why does Kamal Haasan’s George Jr. look like Jay Leno? Though the actor didn’t intend it, the joke is on Bush: all those sharp American stand up comics like Chris Rock, Bill Maher, Sarah Silverman who’ve been thinking up ways to satirize Bush couldn’t have finished him off the way Kamal’s impersonation has. And when Bush swishes his legs like Rajnikanth, swaggers to the podium, and speaks a little Tamil, it was all I could do to keep from choking.

His ex-CIA agent avatar looks like that Mickey Rourke character from Sin City. Paired with Mallika Sherawat, the rogue agent-killer asks her if she can speak English. A reasonable question for an American to ask an Indian, if it wasn’t being asked in a Las Vegas strip club where he meets her pole dancing.

Kamal, the experienced auteur, should know well enough by now that the script shouldn’t be the 11th avataram but the first. Dasavatharam doesn’t add up to that spectacular movie experience I had waited so long and so eagerly for.

Thanks for the link irir123

It was quite interesting to see all these things. Guess - had it been one or two roles, it would have been a cake walk for kamal (e.g., Indian and Avvai Shanmughi). I would rate Avvai Shanmughi make as one of the best.

The superstar of many faces
Friday July 11 2008 21:29 IST

Nandini Krishnan

The deep-set, sad eyes, the innocent upturned face and the resigned mouth of the little boy who sang the song in Kalaththoor Kannamma would have aroused the maternal instincts of the most masculine-minded women. Forty-eight years later, the same deep-set eyes have portrayed every emotion in the book, the tiny body has gone through a series of transformations, the tuft of hair has seen every style from a tonsure to a waist-length Rasta, and the boy who warmed the hearts of mothers had grown into the man who stirs audiences across the globe.

Seven of his films have been in the running for Oscar nomination, he has received civilian honours and doctorates, he is a singer, dancer, actor, director and writer. One would think he had done everything there was to do in a film. Kamal Hassan appeared in 10 avathaarams in what could be described as Navaraathiri-meets-Sivaji. But his career has spanned much more than 10 avathaarams — complete with a different consort for each one.

Some of Kamal’s performances have stood out even among each other, and each one of those seems to have been the flagship of a phase in his career. The brooding intensity and inherent defiance in movies like Apoorva Raagangal and Unnaal Mudiyum Thambi went on to ripen to maturity in Naayagan. But these three performances were separated by close to a decade each. The Prasanna of Apoorva Raagangal gave way to the trusting, helpless characters he played in movies like Moondru Mudichu and Padhinaaru Vayadhiniley. He then moved on to comedy, as Mani in Meendum Kokila. Decades later, Kamal would revisit these two genres and bring them together beautifully, intertwining pathos and hilarity as the title character of Tenali and Pammal K Sambandam, as Avinashi in Mumbai Express and even in and as Vasool Raja, MBBS.

Then Kamal went on to play the psychologically disturbed lead character of Sigappu Rojaakkal, where you couldn’t decide whether you loved him, feared him or despised him. As he grew as an actor, he would weave together the dangerously disturbed and the endearingly innocent in Guna, and later, in Aalavandhaan — daring roles that most actors would have hesitated to take on for fear of what they might do to their “image”.

But be it the idealistic lone intellectual fighting society (to eventually lose) that he experimented with in Varumayin Niram Sigappu, Punnagai Mannan and Salangai Oli, the swashbuckling daredevil in Guru and Vikram, the steadfast, upright fiery know-it-all of Sattam, the sensitive, troubled character who swings between avuncular and amorous leanings in Moondram Pirai or the heartrendingly delicate, visually impaired character of Raja Paarvai, Kamal Hassan barely ever allowed the wax to settle around his image before breaking out of it. He even temporarily turned into the Mithun Chakraborty of Tamil cinema, with a trail of movies like Simla Special and Sakalakalaa Vallavan — a phase he jokingly thanked Mohan of ‘Ilaya Nila’ fame for helping him out of. In a television interview, Kamal Hassan once said, “If Mohan had not grabbed the microphone I was holding in my hand, you probably would never have seen a Velunayakan or Nallasivam.”

Nayagan was followed by a series of transformation stories like Thevar Magan and Mahanadhi, which would be capped years later by what is arguably Kamal Hassan’s best performance of all — Anbe Sivam. But even as the heaviness of these roles was beginning to weigh down his fans, he churned out the laugh-a-minute Sathileelaavathi, where the bumbling Dr Sakthivel and his hysteria-prone wife Palani played the perfect foil to the three protagonists of a marriage on the verge of breakdown. And then, out of the blue, came Indian — a movie that made you laugh, cry and sit up straight.

What did Kamal Hassan have left to do? Why, the thing the man he describes as the person he relates most to — Dustin Hoffman — had done a while earlier. Play a woman! And very few women could have brought the proverbial “Mylapore Mami” to life the way Kamal in and as Avvai Shanmugi did. Then, as if to reassert his masculinity, came Hey Ram — the role of an individual at war with an institution — which he would reprise in and as Virumandi, as Rangaraja Nambi in Dasavatharam, and (hopefully) in and as Marudhanayagam.

The dexterity with which Kamal switches between chaste Brahmin Tamil and crude Madras Tamil, even while exploring the dialects of distinct corners of the state, are only matched by the variety of roles he can handle simultaneously. We’ve had glimpses of his penchant for playing multiple characters before. Movies like Yenakkul Oruvan, Kalyanaraman, Punnagai Mannan, Indrudu Chandrudu, Apoorva Sagodhirargal and possibly the most successful of all as far as character definition goes, Michael Madhana Kamarajan, have left us in no doubt of this little indulgence.

So when his latest offering was first announced, the hype began to build up. For years, fans, critics and sceptics wondered what they would see. When they finally did see it, many were disappointed.

Some have shaken their heads at the makeup for certain roles, while others have found holes in the plot. However, Dasavatharam is not the typical Kamal film — it is not meant to alter the way you think, it is not meant to carry a subversive atheistic argument, it is not meant to make you marvel at the performance.

It is a stage set for a theatrical act, stretched to gigantic scale. It is a display of what a man whose larger-than-life image has never superseded the characters he plays, can do when given the reins; it is a first in Kamal Hassan’s acting career in that he is openly bigger than the film. Dasavatharam is a hero’s treat for his fans — for the ones who have secretly longed to see their man pulling off impossible stunts and claiming his share of the screen by scorching it with his presence; for the ones who have wondered what Brand Kamal Hassan will be.

Dasavatharam is perhaps the most definitive definition of Brand Kamal Hassan — a study in metamorphosis, a journey that began with the sturdy little steps of Kannamma’s son, turning into the jaunty saunter of Prasanna, into the crippling limp of Chappaani, into the hesitant curiosity of Mani, into the bell-bottomed foot tapping of Sakalakalaa Vallavan, into the kurta-clad purist dancing fervour of Balakrishna, into the languid swagger of Vikram, into the splay-footed walk of Chaplin Chellappa, into the determined march of Velunayagan, into the surefooted gambolling of Guna, into the demure grace of Avvai Shanmugi, into the stride of Saket Ram, into the dragging limp of Nallasivam, into the charge (one would hope) of Marudhanayagam.

Re-cap Continued...
Please Note: Box Office Mojo has been under going some maintenance issues that's why the 4th week figures are yet to be released not only for Dasavatharam but for many other movies in their Overseas Box Office Chart. So...I had to get the 4th week figures from another site called "Screendaily.com" which is another leading Global Box Office Reporting Sites but the access is not free as there is a monthly membership fee for it. But I was able to get it through some sources I have here in Toronto. I have attached the screen shot for the chart....so that nobody complains about it's authenticity. We Thalaivar fans don't like to just give out any numbers which pops into our mind unlike other star's fans...whenever we give out stats we always back it all up with solid evidences and or sources.

P.S. Expect the 5th week numbers by Wednesday Guys. Enjoy this for the time being...as "purely" by the Figures collected from Overseas alone DASA HAS EXCEEDED THE PRODUCTION COSTS OF IT'S 65 CRORES BUDGET. So...you know what that means..every little paisa from India is nothing but PROFITS..PROFITS..AND MORE PROFITS FOR EVERYONE. IT'S AN ALL TIME #1 BLOCKBUSTER IN INDIA!

by all means, DASA will be received well in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan belt - coz, the Avtar Singh character invokes a very important, sacred verse dear to Sikhs when his wife tries to stop him from performing on stage - since I have interacted with so many people from that area, this shd ring well with most people from that belt - overall, the sheer spectacle of the first 20 min shd draw crowds in UP, MP, as well - and since the Balram Naidu character is to be replaced by a Hindi-speaking Bengali, most of Bengal/Orissa/large parts of Eastern Bihar (tons of Bengalis there) wud be too eager to watch the film

I expect Hindi version of DASA to rock at the box-office!

the first thing anyone notices b4 deciding on watching a movie is the starcast, anywhere in the world ? wats so wrong in Kamal using the brand name 'kamal' to make an entertaining movie that pulls all audiences ?

who goes n watches say, an Amitabh movie for its 'creativity' or 'story-value' ?? everyone goes for the Amitabh factor - rnt his movies grossly narcissistic, even his critically acclaimed 'black' ?

One correction, Sivaji ganeshan may be better actor for many roles than kamal haasan. But for the completeness no one is more complete than kamal haasan. Whether it is dance,fight,comedy or serious acting, Kamal will be there everywhere. And in dasavathaaram, even though make up(??) helped to differentiate all roles but its kamals talent that over shadowed everything by 10 different mannerisms, voices, accents and body languages. Hats off to this guy.

Every actor has a forte! There are some roles that Kamal Haasan did which Sivaji Ganesan cannot do... Likewise, there are some roles that Sivaji Ganesan did (the emperor kind of roles) that Kamal Haasan may not do... But the point is - in terms of portraying a character - Kamal Haasan is a lot more versatile than other actors (both contemporaries and predecessors)!

There was this interview Aandavar did with Malaysian TV (Astro Vanavil) in 2005, I guess... One of the gentlemen from the audience asked: "You play varied characters in every film... You seem to tranform youself into those characters that you play... What kind of preperation/homework you do before playing such characters?". Aandavar replied to the effect saying that "As an actor, I only pick roles that I'm confident that I could justice with. I don't pick roles that I think I could not do well"....

Regional is the flavour this season

Divya Unny

Tuesday, July 15, 2008: (Mumbai):

Bollywood seems to losing its loyalists. Here's why it could be true, as die-hard Hindi film buffs - disappointed with the years fare- are looking further afield for more entertaining options.

"We prefer to watch a good regional film with subtitles, rather than a bad Hindi movie", "I can't understand Malayalam, but I went for the film because it got great reviews," said a filmgoer.

Yes B-towns bumpy ride in 2008, has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for non-Hindi films.

Marathi, Tamil, Malayalam movies have emerged as some of the real box office winners in Mumbai.

"A film like De Dhakka has grossed 100 per cent collections in its opening week during the IPL, while none of the Bollywood films during that time worked," said Shyam Shroff, a distributor.

The unsung minibudget Marathi hit De Dhakka beat out mainstream fare like Don Mutthuswami, Dhoom Dadakka and Ghatothkach that released the same week.

Interestingly, Kamal Haasan's Dasavathaaram, that opened with average ratings, has managed to surpass films like Mere Baap Pehle Aap and Dasavathar which were pulled out of multiplexes the very next Friday.

"Dasavathaaram is still running in theatres and most of the shows have at least 60-70 per cent viewership. I think people are preferring to watch good cinema these days, irrespective of the language," said Rakesh Mehra, Manager, Cinemax Multiplexes.

And yet another film to have created records of sorts is Malayalam venture Katha Parayimbol, becoming the first Malayalam film in a long time to run in Mumbai theatres for over two months.

The film is now being remade in both Hindi and Tamil by Priyadarshan and Rajnikanth respectively.

"These films are not working just because of Hindi films doing badly, but also because they are offering quality Hindi films aren't," said Mayank Shekhar, Film Critic.

"We are looking at releasing as many regional films, it contributes immensely to our collections," said Rakesh Mehra, manager, Cinemax multiplexes.

Coming weeks await numerous big starrer non-Hindi films like Galgale Nighale and Baap Re Baap in Marathi, Kuselan in Tamil and Madambi in Malayalam.

And while we hope as regional cinema market in Mumbai continues to thrive, Bollywood manages to pull up its socks in the next few months.

guys, no chance in that happening. I hope you understand that the ratings are for the particular weekend and not on a movie to movie basis.

altho more screens showed Dasa as compared to Muniyandi, we dont know the audience for the shows. Also Dasa price has fallen (8 bucks at GSC) whereas Muniyandi is only shown in Indian cinemas which charge 10-11 bucks.

Muniyandi is bombed in the box office in TN. As per your logic defenitely, there is no chance that Muniyandi collected more than DASA which is still doing an extraordinary business even though there is difference in ticket price.

This particular song is not about saiva ,vaishnava unity or insisting 'Hariyum sivanum oNnu.." ,instead it is clearly a one sided song from the point of view of a vaishnavite ..so looking for a singer with a combination name is not only not make sense ,looks odd also

Quote:

With the characters consisting of a Hindu, a Muslim, a Christian, a Sikh, a Buddhist and even an atheist, it is but inevitable that the story has slight religious overtones. The film, however, does not hurt the sentiments of anyone and even silently calls out for religious tolerance in the society. Believers and non-believers would just have reinforced their respective faiths at the end of the film without contradicting each other, which itself is a success for the movie.

There are two things Indian cinema has always been haunted by - Religion and Science. No one (fabulous exceptions always there) has dared to pass a judgement or even to make a documentation of these two issues. Dasavatharam, though superficial, tries to blend these two concepts into the simple narrative and that too, in such a risky venture. For this reason alone, one can argue for the movie. It is not something new to the medium altogether, but is definitely like nothing that Tamil cinema has never tasted before. Dasavatharam may not be what Kamal wants, but is very much what his fans want.

review from a tamilian, who is not well versed with the pure form of Tamil given the fact that he was brought up in Goa and didn’t really learn Tamil at school.

The reviewer wrote:
So we trooped off to the 10pm show on Friday last. Though we both are Tamilians, we aren’t well versed with the pure form of Tamil given the fact that we were brought up in Goa and didn’t really learn Tamil at school. So the initial few minutes into the movie saw us gaping at the screen and at each other blankly since we didn’t understand a word of the monologue that Kamalahasan was carrying out in the background.

I have a friend who is Tamilian but grew up in Hyderabad. He too was totally lost and had no clue on Aandavar's varnanai in the beginnning! Chaste Thamizh could be understood only by a smaller % of audience, unfortunately...

Yesterday i went to Sathyam to book the tickets for today evening show in Elite But I got the tickets only in Economy "n" row. Tickets for Dasavatharm in Sathyam selling like anything.

Today Sathyam site shows, they are having Speclal shows on Saturday and Sunday in Santham @ 9:30 A.M.
For saturday -> Elite is full and Economy is available

For Sunday -> Both Elite and Economy are full for speclal show.

For the 6th Weekend, Most of the shows are booked in Sathyam

DASA is going to remove from SANTAM from tomorrow(18/07/08) onwards. Rolling Eyes

cant believe this is happening in the 6th weekend!

Bala,
Is it still running in AVM, Kamala and Udhayam?

Pls understand it was screend 48,50 show in majayal in the intial week and it went to almost 3 weeks. It would have got in almost all the so called elite crowd in the first 4 weeks. So..It's okay that it's taken off from santham. From santham nearly 1 km is Woodlands and from woodlands another 1km is Devi and from devi just 2.3km is Albert., if you go in a row. So, it is expected.

தசாவதாரம் டிவிடி வேணுமா?
தமிழ் சினிமா வரலாற்றிலேயே இல்லாத அளவுக்கு தசாவதாரம் படத்தின் சாட்டிலைட் உரிமை விற்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறது. அதை கலைஞர் டி.வி வாங்கியிருக்கிறது. விலை எவ்வளவு தெரியுமா? 5.1 கோடியாம்.

என்.எஸ்.சி ஏரியாவில் மட்டும் எண்பது பிரிண்டுகள் போடப்பட்டிருக்கிறதாம். செலவு செய்த பணத்தை ஒரே வாரத்தில் எடுத்துவிடுகிற அளவுக்கு இப்படியெல்லாம் திட்டமிடுகிறார் ஆஸ்கார் ரவிச்சந்திரன்.

அதன் இன்னொரு திருப்பமாக இப்படத்தின் டி.வி.டியையும் விரைவில் வெளியிடத் திட்டமிட்டிருக்கிறாராம். அதிகாரபூர்வமாக டி.வி.டி வெளி வரும் போது திருட்டு வி.சி.டி குறையும் என்பது அவரது கணக்கு. கோலிவுட் வட்டாரங்கள் சொல்வதைப் பார்த்தால், படம் ரிலீஸ் ஆகி 50 நாட்க ளுக்குள்ளேயே அதிகாரபூர்வ டி.வி.டி வந்துவிடும் போலிருக்கிறது. நல்லதுதானே?

அமெரிக்காவில் தசாவதாரம்...
கமல்ஹாசனின் தசாவதாரம் படம், அமெரிக்காவில் பெரும் வரவேற்பைப் பெற்றுள்ளதாகச் செய்திகள் வந்துள்ளன. திரையிடப்பட்ட அனைத்து தியேட்டர்களிலும் மாபெரும் வரவேற்பு கிடைத்துள்ளதாம்.
அமெரிக்காவில் சுமார் 50 நகரங்களில் தசாவதாரம் திரையிடப்பட்டுள்ளது. இந்தத் திரையரங்குகளில் வார இறுதி நாட்களில் அனைத்துத் தியேட்டர்களிலும் ஹவுஸ் ஃபுல் ஆகியுள்ளதாம்.

வசூலைப் பொறுத்தவரையில், வார இறுதி நாட்களில் இதுவரை எந்த தென்னிந்தியப் படங்களுக்கும் கிடைத்திராத அளவு தசாவதாரத்திற்கு வரவேற்புக் கிடைத்துள்ளதாம்.

தசாவதாரத்தின் தெலுங்குப் பதிப்புக்கும் பெருத்த வரவேற்பு கிடைத்துள்ளது. சரியாகச் சொல்வதானால் தெலுங்குத் திரையுலகின் மெகா ஸ்டார் சிரஞ்சீவியின் படங்களுக்கு இணையான வரவேற்பு தசாவதாரத்திற்குக் கிடைத்துள்ளதாம்.

அமெரிக்கர்களும் படத்தைப் பார்க்கத் திரளுகிறார்கள். படத்தின் ஸ்பெஷல் எபக்ட்ஸ் சிறப்பாக இருப்பதாக அவர்கள் பாராட்டுகிறார்களாம்.

DM - do you honestly feel thats something to feel proud of ?? even Kamal would totally disapprove of his fans leaving their families for his films - being a true genuine fan does not mean that one has to forget ones commitment/responsibilities in life - such adulation is completely unhealthy

this is for all movie star fans - imagine how much they could all contribute to their own lives and also others in effect, if they focussed more on their respective lives than merely on celluloid heroes

I know one particular case in Villivakkam, Chennai - this was say 10 years ago - a family's total monthly income is just around Rs.2000- Rs.3000 - since they happen to be bigtime fans of another big star of TN, they used to buy tickets in black for FDFS or at least first week spending close to a 1500 (which is half the family's montly income!!) - I was genuinely shocked beyond words

True, there are crazy fans of rock/pop stars in the West, who are hooked to drugs and who wudnt mind doing anything for their stageheroes - but this kind of hero-worship speaks volumes of the (total lack of ) maturity of cinema-goers in TN at least!

and many of our stars are exploiting this weakness of our cinema-goers to the hilt

You can afford and so you watch it more than 10 times. They cant afford it but they watch it more than 1o times. So they are greater fans than you?

People saw the movie for Kamalahaasan only whose last movie in Kannada was Benkiyalli Aralidha Hoovu ( Avaloru thodarkadhai's Kannada version) directed by KB in kannada also.... Kamal donned Conductor role.... one superb song is also there for Kamal... "mundhE banni... sir mundhE banni "

தசாவதாரம் - 31 நாள் ஏழரை கோடி வசூல்
மூன்று முறை தேசிய விருது வாங்கிய போதும், பத்மஸ்ரீ விருது கிடைத்த போதும் இப்படி மகிழ்ந்திருக்க மாட்டார் கமல்.

தசாவதாரத்தின் அதிரடி கலெக்ஷ்னில் கலைஞானி ஆடிப் போயிருக்கிறார். ஏ பி சி என மூன்று சென்டர்களிலும் படத்திற்கு அமர்ககள வரவேற்பு.

வெளிநாடுகளிலும் ரஜினியின் சிவாஜி வசூலை முறியடித்து ஓடிக்கொண்டிருக்கிறது படம். இங்கிலாந்தில் மட்டும் இரண்டு கோடிக்குமேல் வசூலித்துள்ளது.சென்னையை பொறுத்தவரை வரலாறு காணாத வசூல். முதல் மு்பபத்தியொரு நாளில் சென்னையில் மட்டும் ஏழரை கோடி வசூலாகியுள்ளது. இது ரெக்கார்ட் பிரேக்.

சென்ற வாரம் வெளியான சுப்ரமணியபுரம், முனியாண்டி விலங்கியல் மூன்றாமாண்டு படங்களின் வார இறுதி வசூலை விட தசாவதாரத்தின் வார இறுதி வசூல் பன்மடங்கு அதிகம்.

சென்றவாரம் முனியாண்டி வார இறுதி வசூல் சிமார் எட்டு லட்சங்கள். சுப்ரமணியபுரத்தின் வசூல் சுமார் ஐந்தரை லட்சங்கள். தசாவதாரத்தின் வசூல் ஏறக்குறைய ஐம்பத்தியிரண்டு லட்சங்கள்.

கலைஞானியின் மகிழ்ச்சியில் ஒரு நியாயம் இருக்கவே செய்கிறது.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India_Buzz/I_suffered_being_an_idealist__Kamal/articleshow/3246107.cms

Kamal Haasan bounces back in Telugu with a sensational hit Dasavatharam.

He claims to have consciously dished out an entertainer to reach out to a wider section of the audience rather than chasing critical acclaim. His ten roles reflect the varied shades of human mind unlike the mythological Dasavatharam. He quotes Emmanuel Kant for a peaceful life and describes his next Marmayogi as a periodic epic. Excerpts from an interview :

You succeeded in winning audience appreciation but you seem to have disappointed some critics? Unlike mythological Dasavatharam, it seems that your ten roles reflect varied shades of human mind?
From the outset we had resolved to reach out to wider section of the audience and our confidence stands vindicated. We consciously overlooked the views of so-called pundits to churn out an entertainer. Again my belief that the audience would definitely patronise anything unique has been strengthened and actually they have raised the bar of expectations. We intended to explore shades of complex human mind. Haven't we seen a baddy like Fletcher, idealist, activist and even a fun-making cop around us. Apparently even the audience related to the real-life characters making it a success. I would have made some mistakes in the film but I will keep committing them since we don't possess sure-fire formula for success. I wanted the film to be more like a 'cocktail discussion'.

You were cynical about tyrant rulers, nature's design to evaporate vial with tsunami and re-uniting soul-mates?
Instead of individuals, I was more cynical about the rulers' obsession to force their fanatic ideas upon their subjects. Because social revolution cannot happen overnight and sometimes it could take few generations to achieve it. So saint Mahavir's ‘Live and let live' idea remains the best approach. Coming to resolution, instead of being so cruel, nature could have chosen a wiser option to end the bio-menace. Re-uniting soul-mates after making them go through tough times and death of idealistic activist is part of its crude design.

Do you suggest that idealistic people cannot survive in the world? How can the world be peaceful then?
That’s true. It is very difficult for an idealist to survive in this selfish world until he develops a strong instinct to live. Personally, I suffered being an idealist but I am alive because of my daunting spirit. It is difficult but not impossible. Even Jesus was crucified before his thoughts were clearly understood. For a peaceful world, philosopher Emmanuel Kant’s thoughts can be remembered "Extract maximum pleasure from the earth with minimum pain to it and its inhabitants'. Even our epics had pragmatic thoughts but interpreters twisted it serving us 'bottled juice' and not a fresh one.

Can you elaborate on your next film Maramayogi?
It’s too early to divulge more details except for describing it as a '7th century periodic epic' in a nutshell. The big-budget entertainer will be a feast for all sections of the audience. It will go on floors from August.

Quote:

The impact of Navarathri

P.R. VISWANATHAN

A tribute on the occasion of Sivaji Ganesan’s death anniversary on July 21.

DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS: (Top) Sivaji in ‘Navarathri.’ Savitri is in the centre. (Below) Kamal and Asin in ‘Dasavathaaram.’

The Tamil cinema fraternity still considers ‘Navarathri,’ the 1964 Deepavali release, as a significant movie. Sivaji Ganesan, 12 years after his lightning entry into the silver screen, portrayed nine different roles in an amazing fashion in that film.

Though it is seven years since the great man passed away (July 21, 2001), majority of the earlier generation of film-watchers still adores the histrionic talent of this legendary performer. With the arrival of ‘Dasavathaaram,’ most members of the earlier generation show a strong tendency to recall the terrific impact made by ‘Navarathri’ on them. This writer belongs to that category.
Powerful diction

By the time ‘Navarathri’ was released, Ganesan had established himself as a very special actor through a unique method that was popularly described as classical style of acting. There were also film-fans who rated Ganesan’s method as an exaggerated style of expression. But in that period they only formed the minority. The majority of that era admired Ganesan’s powerful diction and eloquent body language.

However, when the day of Navarathri’s arrival was nearing, the question on the lips of even the rabid fans of Ganesan was: Will the nine-man army dominate each frame to such an extent that the film itself would be dubbed as an exaggerated style of expression. Thankfully, that was not to be.

Ganesan revealed his extraordinary ability to excel in both styles of acting. Though he had driven home that point in several of his earlier films, ‘Navarathri’ stood out. For, it was an unprecedented challenge for an actor on the silver screen. And Ganesan showed a high degree of enthusiasm that could be understood and enjoyed in each frame of that film.

The honours for the remarkable success of ‘Navarathri’ must go to the formidable trio of Ganesan-Savithri-A.P. Nagarajan. Even some years before the arrival of ‘Navarathri,’ the Ganesan-Savithri pair had walked into the hearts of the majority of Tamil film-fans only to stay there for ever. Thus Nagarajan, the script writer-cum-director of ‘Navarathri,’ must have been in an unenviable position when the idea struck him. Much to the delight of the audience, APN did a marvellous job providing equal scope for the two wonderful actors (Ganesan and Savithri) through a style of narration that could be hailed as uncomplicated and enjoyable.

In ‘Navarathri’ there are episodes that see Ganesan going all out and Savithri playing the second fiddle in a manner born. The episode in which Ganesan narrates the unfortunate tale of his younger brother, Savithri reacts mostly through facial expressions uttering a few words here and there. Similarly, in the mental hospital episode it is Savithri all the way with Ganesan soft-pedalling throughout that episode.

More such examples could be given to underline the aspects that kept the audience interest alive throughout the three-hour entertainer. There is also an episode in which both the artists excel. That is the episode featuring therukkoothu (folk drama) artists. Though both the actors dominate, APN did well to decorate the episode through lesser characters (for example the orchestra team) to make the episode a full-fledged entertainer.

How can we forget Nagesh of this film? The characterisation of the village poojari is a tribute to the magic-touch of APN who himself was a versatile actor.

It will be uncharitable to both Kamal Haasan and APN to compare the two films belonging to different periods. At the most we can say that ‘Navarathri’ had provided a wide scope for wonderful actors through a script that spoke for APN’s fine sense of imagination. And ‘Dasavathaaram’ has lent a huge canvas for the technicians to exhibit their awe-inspiring skills. While ‘Navarathri’ inspired aspiring actors and script writers, ‘Dasavathaaram’ is bound to boost the morale of ambitious technicians and film producers. In the late 1940s, the great S.S. Vasan had done that to technicians and producers through his immortal film ‘Chandralekha.’

Kamal must be feeling the absence of Ganesan at this juncture. After all, Ganesan’s shoulders and lap served as cradle for this child-prodigy. Had he been alive today, Ganesan would have planted a passionate kiss on Kamal’s forehead as he had done whenever Kamal had reached a milestone. That would have certainly filled Kamal’s cup of joy to the brim.

'Dasavataram' makes 7.5 crores by 31st day
- 18.07.2008
Surely Kamal would not have been more overjoyed when he received the national award thrice or the Padma Shri award.The Kalaignani has been pleasantly shocked with the rousing welcome that 'Dasavataram' has been receiving at all A, B and C centres.
The box office collection overseas has also put 'Sivaji' collection in the shade. 'Dasavataram' has made almost 2 crores in England alone.In Chennai, it has made 7. 5 crores in the first 31 days in a new path breaking record. The weekly collection of 'Dasavataram' is many times higher than that of 'Subramaniapuram' and 'Muniyandi Vilangiyal Moondram Aandu.'Last week, 'Muniyandi..' collection at the weekend was about 8 lakhs. 'Subramaniapuram' made around 5,5 lakhs. 'Dasavataram' has made nearly 52 lakhs.No wonder Kalaignani is so pleased!
From: sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar on Sat Jul 19 1:59:41 2008.

dasa has a multitude of languages and dialects. kamal can rally speak 5 diff languages in tamil, telugu, whatever language !!

US accent english - bush, fletcher

agrahaara tamil - asin, paatti
japanese - narahaasi
punjabi + tamil - avtar singh
muslim tamil - kalif ullaah khan
telugu tamilu - balramu naidu

Theatre was houseful. One family stood up and clapped towards the end.

Crowd was thoroughly enjoying the Balram Naidu's character.

99% of the crowds sat till the end of the Ulaganayaganae song.

I also over heared a comments from a elderly person, may be around 60 or so to his family memebers - quoting the movie is really brilliant.

Behind me another family was thorougly impressed with George Bush character.

We must agree Kamal has lived the George Bush character though it is quite small.

Bulls eye! Aandavar brought the mannerisms/gestures of Bush (eventhough covered by the mask) to perfection... Of course Aandavar would have done his homework... One small sample of his perfection in portraying Bush charatcter is - the initial scene of Bush where he delivers a speech appreciating the University of Pittsburg... In that scene, the way he looks sideways and acknowledges the clap was spot on!

Last but not leaset - Aandavar's voice dubbing for Bush character. The way he got the accent/pronounciation right was also amazing!

From: Kumar on Sat Jul 19 23:12:11 2008.

I managed to catch the film here in Brisbane, thanks to the individuals who organised the 4 screenings.

Overall, I thought the movie was an expensive commercial flick, packaging as much as cinematically possible to please a diverse range of viewers. It was entertaining at parts; at times, it seemed rushed. Some of the characters were really well played. The make-up was good on some, and really plastic on others. Good cinematography-and quite good SPFX at places....with the mandatory fuzzy bits.

The main drawcard for this film, I think, is Kamal and the 10 characters he plays. I enjoyed Balram Naidu, of course. Krishnaveni paati was another one I found entertaining. I thought the make-up for Shingen sensei was too plastic (reminds me of Marlon Brando's portrayal of a Japanese....the eyes were over-emphasised!!), but his Aikido moves were good.

2 characters that stood out for me were Rangaraj Nambi and Vincent Poovaraghavan; I just liked the fact that they were willing to sacrifice their lives for what they believed in. But that's as far as I can go with relating to characters in this film. Why? Because it's not a film designed to draw in the audience, or to make the audience identify with the caharacters. This is essentially a Ravikumar movie. This is his style of direction. It's fast paced, with enough action, music, comedy, romance, melodrama, etc to keep the majority of fans entertained.

BTW, I found this piece by a blogger who has drawn parallels between the characters of the film and Lord Vishnu's 10 avatars. Some of you may have read it already:

That's why the movie is a block buster. The movie has some thing in store, to cherish, for all the movie goers.

Jai, for ex., while I was watching the movie for the 1st time, I did'nt like the Kalifula character, but now that became one of my favourites.

Similarly, if you watch the movie again,, you will know what you have missed earlier. Probably, George Bush character will attract you this time.

Very intelligent way of saying a combination of Ebola and Marburg combination. Especially considering the movie was started shooting in 2006 and as early as 2007 there was a Marburg outbreak in Zaire or somewhere.

This is an amazing thing and goes to show his knowledge and preparation and intellectual homework for the movie.

And he also shows how typically a person dies with ebola infection. A heamorhagic death, spilling blood. Long live Kamal ji! Very Happy

well, some queries that i got, during watching and then later asai pottufied the movie...

1. poovaraghan meets jara at night, hopefully not midnight, but he is there till tsunaami comes on morning??

2. howcome fletcher know that govind fell into an flight which goes to india, and specifically chennai/ how come they decide tthat they need a TAMIL translator? and when govind is into flight, somewhere malaysian airlines symbol is shown

by the time govind reaches india, chennai, fletcher finds a translator, marry her, she does a killing in between, and both of them get hold of govind easily in chennai airport

3. balram naidu gets info that fletcher's pacha colour jeep is spotted at avtar singh show, but he is not present during the crime scene which happens at avtar's dressing room. but he promptly gets hild of fletcher in end of that building fight. actually he goes somewhere to broad the helicopter. something missing here

4. one vial is eaten by the monkey whereas another one is being carried by kamal. but in reality, wont the formula of virus be the cynosure? americans are fathers of documentation and even if kamal snatches the virus, they cud be able to create another one, or sell the formulae...maybe its not starightforward but its possible. so kamal destroyed the virus and saved world, still is not complete

at anytime, these things never daunted my enthu in watching the movie

Indian pix beating around the Bush
Tamil film 'Dasavatharam' vilifies U.S. president
By SHALINI DORE

Indian filmmakers aren't waiting for Oliver Stone's "W" to have a crack at President Bush.

Tamil thesp Kamal Haasan found B.O. success recently with "Dasavatharam" (10 Incarnations), in which he plays 10 roles, including Bush.

Haasan studied the prez's mannerisms and speech patterns for weeks and was pleased with the result, telling Indian media, "The part where I play George Bush has turned out to be exceptionally good."

While crix were mixed, auds raved about his take on Bush (as the bad guy, natch) in a scene involving America's release of biochemical weapons. "Even his voice modulation is near perfect," wrote one blogger.

Haasan's not the only one with a Bush take: Impersonator Brent Mendenhall trots out his own Texas drawl in Bollywood terrorism drama "Mission: Istaanbul," which is set for a fall release.

at anytime, these things never daunted my enthu in watching the movie

Let me try here

1. Simplest of 4 questions. The guys is inviting a community leader along with his loyalist to bribe him etc and get him to support him. So naturally its a long process. 12 hour partylaam sagajamappa. Remember Tsunami hit at 8 AM, so 8 PM to 8 AM party now a days are common, specially in politician's house

2. Fetcher doesnt know where scientist went, but he knew the "parcel" was shiped to India (ubhayam "****" Ram).

3. Another simple questions, I hope you are a regular Tamil/Indian movie watcher. Police comes at the end, just to arrest people. So they have kept and met the common man's expectation.

4. Yes, indeed, and thats why when the vial goes to India, bush doesnt bother much. Then he realized that this might kill millions in India and decided to reach out "man" "mohan" "singh". So deinitely kamal did destroy the vial in india and saved millions in India

Before the 'ulaganayAgan line' Vasu says, 4 maNi nEram pEsittu verum kaiyyOdu pOguradhA......after that also there are so many exchanges and by the time Tsunami hits so many others are also in the room

2. howcome fletcher know that govind fell into an flight which goes to india, and specifically chennai/ how come they decide tthat they need a TAMIL translator? and when govind is into flight, somewhere malaysian airlines symbol is shown

Sairam had shipped it to India. So to hunt for the vial Fletcher has to go to India anyway. It is reasonable to assume Sairam would have mentioned that the original address he shipped it to was in Tamil Nadu. So the Tamil translator.

Yes the plane is a MAS cargo plane.

3. balram naidu gets info that fletcher's pacha colour jeep is spotted at avtar singh show, but he is not present during the crime scene which happens at avtar's dressing room. but he promptly gets hild of fletcher in end of that building fight. actually he goes somewhere to broad the helicopter. something missing here

Fletcher jeep spotted-A

I know it is inherently unfunny, but for some reason I keep laughing at this line.They police are there and are presumably on pursuit of Govind and Fletcher and trace them up to the construction site.Hence Naidu and the chopper.

4. one vial is eaten by the monkey whereas another one is being carried by kamal. but in reality, wont the formula of virus be the cynosure? americans are fathers of documentation and even if kamal snatches the virus, they cud be able to create another one, or sell the formulae...maybe its not starightforward but its possible. so kamal destroyed the virus and saved world, still is not complete

Delivering formula assumes that someone like Q has the infrastructure to generate the bio-weapon (pala million dollar equipment). Q is not a competing foreign power who wants intellectual property. So the physical product is what needs to be delivered.

Once Govind is out, they are out tracing him. They kill Suresh and Sethu to implicate Govind, thereby losing the chance of getting another vial generated in the lab. Of course it becomes important to get hold of the existing vial an Govind anyway.

Dasa rocks in Chennai. Yes, it's running to packed houses. Y'day morning was passing by Satyam - it was Housefull. In the evening happened to cross Maharani theatre, which is in North Chennai and here too it was FULL. In Satyam, it's running full houses throughout the week.

It's a CLEAR & UNDISPUTED VICTORY AT THE BO. The reason, I think is, the most rabid fans & the family audience as well have accepted the movie. Of course, the intelligentia group among Kamal fans should be a little disappointed and they would not have enjoyed it as much as they had enjoyed Mahanadhi, Hey Ram or Virumaandi. Ok, but no one can satisfy everybody. But Kamal's wise & intentionally made compromises had fetched him the required results.

True.

Mf Dad who is MGR fan was making a comparision with USV. He was saying the storyline was bit similiar to that but he it was more impressive than USV because of ten characters. Few other things he was saying was.

1. Was saying even in USV so many characters comes probably that movie can be taken a single actor donning many roles
2. Balram Naidu reminded of the one of the Shivaji character in Bale Pandiya (Like NOV said )
3. Very much impressed with Bush make up and style.
4. The other characters he liked are Balram, Paatti, Poovaraghavan and the Nambi the most.
5. He liked Napolean get up also and was saying, if at all ponniyan selvan film is made, napolean can fir Chinna Pazhuvettayar character. I forget many of the chars of ponniyin selvan.

I wonder now, what could be story of marmayogi. But why cant he take the ponniyin selvan which is very well fit for all types of audience imo. Kamal i suppose once was having the idea of filming this

Agree. Napolean has a regal look about him. He has the height, the built, and perhaps the facial features/expressions. His voice needs to deepen an octave or two (voice lessons would be suitable here.)

The flaws in these two scenes are

The movies shd have started with Fletcher crying like Nayagan kamal while the BGM has sad version of the club dance, followed by a red eye from Fletcher starting the story from 12th century.

The movie shd have made the Naidu-Shingen meeting as the first scene and rolled back the movie to the start (flash back of a flashback) and explained everything very well.

or even more simply, The movie shd have made the Naidu-Shingen meeting as the first scene and rolled back upto Malikka's death and another flashback from Fletcher as pointed above.

Interesting perspective on Dasavatharam! (though I don't agree with some of the points)
http://tcln.blogspot.com/2008/07/dasavatharam-answer-to-all-critical.html

How can a priest fight?
Many have had this doubt. How does Rangarajan, a pious Vaishnavite priest fight off a number of soldiers? Too much of a cinematic liberty, many opine. But, there is an explanation, deep in Tamil culture and caste hierarchy (where each one was married to the ancestral profession by birth), there were a sect of Brahmins called the Ammathyayans whose profession used to be war. It might sound hard to believe but yes, there were warriors among Brahmins, too. And, coming from an industry where cinematic liberties regularly insult the intelligence of the audience, this should more than suffice as an explanation.

Where’s the story?
When did Kamal promise one? True, the plot can be summed up in one line, but the complexities are numerous. It is a delicate explanation of the Chaos Theory where every incident, however good or bad it may seem to us, has its
own role in the grand scheme of things. The movie shows how the 10 characters act in such a way, that the vial carrying biological weapon of mass destruction, that could be neutralized only by common salt, is brought to the seashore just minutes before the tsunami. A bit earlier or later could not have had the same effect as that of the huge waves rushing in. The design of the universe was to annihilate the bio weapon and the characters were merely pawns who played their destined roles, some hurrying and others delaying the journey of the vial, so that it reached the sea at just the right time. The way complaints about the lack of a story have been rising makes us think whether Kamal was supposed to have contrived the plot such that all 10 characters are brothers who were separated in their childhood and brought up in different corners of the world and recognize each other with a family song or a birthmark unique to the family! It would have definitely been a story then –only the movie would have looked like a 1970 Bollywood melodrama!

Is the budget justified, why do the songs look so plain?
Many don’t seem to be able to see the 60 crores, they say that it hasn’t translated into grandeur on the screen. Maybe, they failed to notice that almost 90% of the frames of Dasavatharam have more than one Kamal, all the scenes have more than one for sure and most of them have at least three and we don’t want to elaborate further. One is a 90 year old woman, there is a pot bellied cop, a mean Yankee, a 7 footer, a Japanese etc… The amount of graphics that would have gone in to get the movie in shape is good enough to justify any budget. And about the songs, do they have to look out of the world?
Dasavatharam is fiction, not fantasy. It is firmly grounded in realities and bound by the confines of the Chaos theory (which some might find difficult to swallow). In a cross country chase for the possession of a vial that is a weapon of mass destruction, where is the place for a song shot in the plush meadows of Switzerland or Austria? Yes, K.S. Ravikumar and Ravivarman would have made it look good and it might have made a few people believe that the 60 crores were well spent, but think of what it would have done to the movie. There might have been a strong temptation to include a Kamal-Asin duet and we must applaud the crew for resisting it. The songs of Dasavatharam are as natural as they can be. First, a soulful chant by a 12th century priest, a raunchy number by a strip club dancer, a devotional song in the true tradition of Chidambaram and a stage performance by a pop star. The song in the title tracks has no bearing on the movie, it’s just a postscript. Every song is just as it should be, not an ounce more. There are only few instances in Tamil cinema where songs remain so true to the script.

The ladies are exasperating!
Many are of the opinion that one lady is finished off far too early and the other hangs in for too long. There seems to be hardly any reason to complain about the supposedly premature end of Mallika Sherawath’s character. It is a mishap that occurs during a risky attempt to grab the vial in a crowded place, there is nothing out of logic. Only Mallika Sherawath fans who expected her characteristic glamour to parade on screen should find reasons enough to moan. There are also others who feel that that her club song was a bit unwarranted. Well, where would you expect to find a girl who accepts an offer for a transcontinental chase with a man she hardly knows the moment she is offered some money - at a bank counter or at a supermarket?! It has to be some place like a dance bar.
Asin, poor lady, has received brickbats for being so obsessed with Lord Krishna. Some feel she ought to have been slapped by Govind half way into the movie. Slapping ladies is a stereotype that Tamil cinema can afford to do without. Besides, expecting a biological scientist like Govind to be chauvinistic enough to slap a lady (that too one as good looking as Asin) and snatch the idol would be unrealistic. If you watch the movie you will notice that Govind never wants to get into a fight, even when faced by grave danger, he is always running away from violence. He doesn’t seem to be able to slap the man who is trying to kill him, let alone a woman who is an innocent bystander.

The beach quarrel?
This is definitely the scene that has been beaten badly and bruised by many people. They find the small talk at the site of a monumental disaster irritating. Granted, a tsunami hit beach is not the place for petty quarrels. But think of Govind’s frame of mind. For him and Asin, the tsunami was a timely deluge of common salt that prevented the death of millions across continents. They, in their opinion, have just witnessed the escape of mankind from a disaster of proportions that could dwarf the tsunami. After days of tension, their minds are now at rest knowing that the deadly ‘ebola-hanta combination’ has been neutralized by NaCl.
There is an old fable. A line was drawn and a man was asked to make the line smaller without erasing off any portion. The man simply drew a bigger line beside it and the first line indeed looked smaller. Here the tsunami was the small line and the bio-weapon dwarfed it. Only Kamal and Asin knew about it, hence the relaxed state of mind and small talk.

Why weren't the following appreciated?
Finally there are certain things about Dasavatharam that seem to have been missed in the flush of criticism. No two characters except Rangarajan and Govnidarajan share the same height and voice. If Apoorva Sahodarargal had one normal man and a dwarf, Dasavatharam has all ranges starting from the hunchback to the giant. The voices range from the husky, to the shrill. It is the kind of variety and dexterity that has never been seen in world cinema. It also has to be remembered that the movie is based on the chaos theory, something that requires understanding. If such a concept has been incorporated, along with a bio-weapon message, an environmental edge and narrated in such a lucid way that even a layman is able to connect, the maker has to be someone special. How often do we hear of scientific theories contributing to movies?
There is the technical aspect which does seem to have received a fair amount of appreciation. However, we cannot help but mention the climax fight between Narahashi and Fletcher as a masterpiece in graphics. Of course, as said above, most of the frames of Dasavatharam are technical showpieces by themselves, not because they are out of this world, but because they have made everything look so real. Finally there has been talk about how the characters of Dasavatharam don’t stick to the mind. Some say that only Boovaragan sticks while others remember Balram and so on. But the fact here is that most people know the characters that they say have not stuck to their mind, they identify the ‘non-stick’ing characters by name or appearance. That is proof enough that a mark has been created. For instance, Rangarajan Nambi does not appear on screen after the initial 10 minutes. He is non-existent for the next 150 odd minutes and yet many remember to criticize the way in which he fought off the soldiers!

It is easy to get carried away in the wave of criticism and not appreciate the real class of the movie. The fact that so much has been talked about the movie tells us about the impression it has created. What has to be realized is that we may have to wait decades before we see anything even remotely close to this. It is tough even for a genius and dedicated professional like Kamal to keep making efforts like this. One has to just open up one’s mind to see all that is wonderful about Dasavatharam and please don’t appreciate it for charity, only for Kamal Haasan or because someone asked you to be a sport. Dasavatharam is a creation that deserves far better.

தசாவதாரம்...ரஜினி ரசிகனின் பார்வையிலிருந்து...

முதல் 10 நிமிடங்கள்தான் ஹைலைட் என சொல்லியிருந்தும் அக்காட்சிகளை பார்க்கமுடியாமல் போனது.ஆனால் பின்வந்தக் காட்சிகள் அக்கவலையை மறக்கச் செய்து,படத்துடன் ஒன்றிவிட்டேன்.இடைவேளைவரை துரத்தல்கள்,இரண்டுப்பாடல்கள்,சில கொலைகள், நாயுடுவின் டைமிங் காமெடிகள் என மூச்சுவிட நேரமின்றி பரபரப்பாக எவ்வித தொய்வுமின்றி படம் ஓடியது.

விமர்சித்திருந்த சிலர்,மல்லிகா ஷெராவத் பாத்திரம் சில காட்சிகளே வருவதாக கூறியிருந்தார்கள்.ஆகவே அவர் கெட்ட ஆட்டம் போட்ட பாடல் முடிந்தவுடன் அவரைக்காலி பண்ணி விடுவார்கள் என நினைததால்,அவர்தான் அவருடன் கெட்ட ஆட்டத்தை தொடர முயன்றவரை காலி பண்ணிவிட்டு சென்னை வழியாக சிதம்பரம் வந்து யானையால் காலியாகிவிடுகிறார்.கமல் படத்தில் இந்த அளவுக்கு அவருக்கு காட்சிகள் அமைந்ததே பெரிய விஷயம்தான்.

என்னைப்பொருத்தவரை கமல் போட்ட அனைத்து வேடங்களும் தேவையானவைதான்.எதுவும் வீண் இல்லை.எடுத்துக்கொண்ட கதைக்களம் 'கியாஸ்(கேயாஸ்??) தியரி'க்கு ஒவ்வொருப் பாத்திரமும் எடுத்துக்கொண்ட முடிவை(சுனாமி 26,2004) நோக்கி சரியான பாதையில் நகர்த்த உதவியிருக்கிறது. கதையை இன்னும் ரசனையுள்ளதாக்க தேவையிருந்திருந்தால் இன்னும் இரண்டு மூன்று வேடங்கள்[கோயில் யானை, இறந்துபோகும் குரங்கு வேடங்களை சொல்லவில்லை Wink

)))] கூட கமல் போட்டிருக்கலாம்.

இரண்டாம் பாதியில், முதல் 30-45 நிமிடங்கள் படம் கொஞ்சம் தொய்கிறது. கமலும்,அசினும் பேசிக்கொள்ளும் வசனங்கள்,என்னடா,திடீரென 'கிரேசி மோகன்' வசனகர்த்தா கமலின் பேனாவை பிடுங்கி எழுதியிருப்பாரோயென யோசிக்க வைத்தது. மறுபடியும் வில்லன் முழுவேகத்தில் காரியத்தில் இறங்கியவுடன் பிடிக்கும் வேகம்,சிறு புயலாகி பின் பெருத்த சூறாவளியென மாறி,சுனாமியாக பேயாட்டம் போட்டு அந்த சிலையை வெளிக்கொணர்ந்து வில்லனையும்,உயிரியையும் அழித்து கமல் அசின் 12ம் நூற்றாண்டுக் காதலின் அடுத்த அத்தியாயத்தை 21ம் நூற்றாண்டில் ஆரம்பித்து வைத்து தென்றலாய் முடிகிறது.

நான் ஒரு முழு ரஜினி ரசிகன். ஆரம்பக்காலத்தில் அடிமட்ட ரசிகனுக்கு இருக்கும்(இருந்த) கமல் துவேஷம் எனக்கும் இருந்தது.ஆனால் காலம் மாறி தமிழ் படவுலகைவிட்டு வந்து சில சிறந்த பிற மொழிப்படங்கள், அமெரிக்காவில் இருந்த 2-3 வருடங்களில் பார்த்த பல ஆங்கிலப்படங்கள், என் திரை ரசனையை அடுத்தக்கட்டத்திற்கு நகர்த்தின.ஆரம்பக்காலத்தில் குறைகளை கண்டறியவேண்டும் என்ற துவேஷத்துடன் பார்த்த பல கமல் படங்களை ஒரு சாதாரண திரைப்பட ரசிகன் என்ற பார்வையில் பார்த்தபோது,கமலஹாசன் எனும் கலைஞனின் கலைதாகமும்,அடுத்த நிலையை நோக்கிச் செல்ல வேண்டும் என்ற முயற்சியும்,அவரின் நடிப்பின் பல பரிமாணங்களும் தெரிந்தது. அவ்வகையில் 'தசாவதாரம்' நிச்சயமாக கமலின் மிக முக்கியமான ஒரு படைப்பு. குறை சொல்வதற்கான காரணங்கள் படத்தில் பல இருந்தாலும், ஒரு நல்ல படத்தை கொடுத்தக் காசுக்கு வஞ்சனையின்றி ஒய்வுப்பொழுதில் பார்த்து ரசிப்பதற்க்கு ஏற்றப்படம்தான்.
ஆகவே,விட்டக்காட்சிகளையும்,பரப்பரப்பான துரத்தல்களையும் மீண்டும் ஒருமுறை பார்க்க அடுத்தவாரக்காட்சிக்கு இப்போதே துண்டு போடவேண்டுமென முடிவு செய்துவிட்டேன்.

சிறு பத்திரிகைகளின் வாசகரான கமலை இந்த விமர்சனங்கள் சென்றடைந்துள்ளன. இந்த விமர்சனங்களை முன்வைத்து கோடம்பாக்கத்திலும் சில விமர்சனங்கள். இவற்றிற்கு கமலின் பதில் என்ன?

மக்களுக்கு பிடிக்க வேண்டும் என எடுத்தோம், அவர்களுக்கு பிடித்திருக்கிறது. படத்தில் சில தவறுகள் இருப்பதும் உண்மைதான் என்றிருக்கிறார்.

மர்மயோகிக்கு இப்படியொரு தாக்குதல் நடந்துவிடக் கூடாது என்பதற்காக இப்போதே உஷாராகிவிட்டார் கமல். மர்மயோகி அனைத்து தரப்பினரையும் கவரும் விதத்தில் எடுக்கப்படும் என்று கூறியுள்ளார்.

100 கோடி பட்ஜெட் என்றால் அனைத்து தரப்பையும் கவர்ந்துதானே ஆகவேண்டும், வேறு வழி?

Dashavathar is neither a remake nor a dubbed version,its a mix of both....

Kamalji has dubbed 4 himself and ensured that there is no shoddiness...This movie will not have mismatched lip syncs and bad audio explains Atul

I hav scripted lines in Bengali,Bihari and Urdu

Balram Naidu will be replaced by the Bengali character Pranab Kundu

Dalit leader will be a Marathi speaking man called Babrubahan

Paati will be a woman from Uttar Pradesh and will speak Awadhi

Asin will have Hindi lines whereas Mallika will have dialogues in Urdu

Top five Telugu stars of the week

It is time to go beyond proclamations, claims, retorts and diatribe. The BO burrow is where all false gods falter, every Friday. Friday, Fly-day or Fry-day..? It depends on which end of the Fab Five chart you are!

2. Kamal Haasan: 11 out of 10!
2. Kamal Haasan: 11 out of 10!

Kamal Haasan continues to surprise his fans and disappoint his detractors.

Predicted by Cassandras to become one of the colossal flops in Indian cinema, 'Dasavatharam' has snowballed into a huge hit across South India.

After a record-breaking initial, the film has kept its collections steady at all the release centres. Tollywood is no exception.

The film opened big at all the centres in Andhra Pradesh, and despite the lukewarm reviews the film has lured in the buck, by the ton.

The 10 prosthetic goblins of Kamal Haasan have taken the B.O by storm. A month after its release, the Kamal effect persists!

Strength: Kamal Haasan

Weakness: Kamal Haasan

B.O. Verdict: Super hit

1. Who is this Cassandras?

2. How can Kamal Haasan be a weakness when he is the main strength?

The greatest 'Kamal Show' till date, 'Dasavatharam' is busy seeing off its box-office contenders, one after the other.

Four weeks after its release, the film continues to top the charts at all the release centres. Kamal Haasan has achieved this in spite of the heavy flak from critics.

You can call 'Dasavatharam' a treatise in narcissism, a chaotic take on Chaos Theory, or a downright ego trip of a self-obsessed actor, but there is no denying the impact the flick has had on the box-office.

In Chennai alone, the total collection by the end of the fourth week is Rs.6.35 crore.

Super comedy from SIFY again.
Chennai box office (July 18 to 20)

Tuesday, 22 July , 2008, 16:09
Last Updated: Tuesday, 22 July , 2008, 17:07

Debut director/producer M Sasikumar's sleeper hit Subramaniapuram has emerged a winner at the CBO. It garnered 100 per cent during the weekends and 80 to 85 per cent during weekdays—as more theatres and shows have been added in its third week.
Dasavatharam has fallen to the number two position. At number three is The Dark Knight, which grossed a record $ 158 million at the US box-office last weekend. But the critically acclaimed superhero film is faring just OK in Chennai, where the Tamil and English versions opened in 11 screens, because the audience did not like the Joker dominating—which meant less of heroics and more of dialogues.

Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na continues to remain rock steady at the fourth position, while Kismat Konnection, thanks to its fantastic one-day opening, managed to squeeze itself into the fifth place.

From: irir123 on Tue Jul 22 8:11:58 2008.

SKV sir, for quite sometime, Kamal has been practising modesty even when it is not required! for instance, calling Amitabh (of all people in the cine industry) an 'inspiration' (at the audio release function) and even worse, referring to DEEWAR as an example for the 'inspiration'! EKSI!

In the topsy-turvy times of today, sometimes even original geniuses have to 'acknowledge' lesser artistes as source of inspiration!

Amitabh is Kamal's inspiration!!

1. he too said that what these sirupathirikaigal says about dasa is wrong(makeup, fashion show ect) he justifies that only thismuvh can be done at indian levels

2. he said that the effect appu created with aboora...is unforgettable and in dasa, except poovaragan, other charecters fails to impress in that line...

well, he himself accepted poovaragan creates an impact. as for other caracters, ppl forget that even in navaratri characters come and go, they amuse u with other stuff but its same like dasa. the impact of a veerapaandiya kattabomman, paasamalar, or parasakthi cannot be implemented in navaratri. and same goes in for dasa.

Oru formality prising than.. JC sollalaiya that he wanted to do Romance and he wants thalaivar to do all stunts etc..

It's all in the game. Especially for the future projects thalaivar just need this kind of support all over globe. MY slated to be an alltimer & a trend setter for his future movies maruthanayagam and so on...

Ofcourse, he is not praising any junior actors. Though I don't have any passion for AB, but he is legend in the North. There is no one to oppose it. Hence thalivar justifies his admiration .

குமுதம் சினேகிதியில் கமல்.
இதுவரை எந்த ஆணினதும் படத்தை அட்டையில் பிரசுரிக்காத குமுதம் சினேகிதி முதல் முதலாக ஆண்டவரைப் பிரசுரித்து கெளரவம் அளித்திருக்கிறது.

இது எதனைக் காட்டுகின்றது என்றால் கமல் பெண்களுக்கு சம உரிமை அளிக்கும் சிறந்த மனிதன் என்பதையே. கேள்விபதில் பகுதியில் தசாவதாரம் பற்றிய கேள்விக்கு லோகநாயகி என்பவர் அளித்த பதில்.

தசாவதாரத்தில் எது நச் அவதாரம்?

ராஜி ராதா, பெங்களூரு
-இரா. வளையாபதி, தோட்டக்குறிச்சி
-ஆதிரை வேணுகோபால், சூளைமேடு.

உலகின் தலைசிறந்த சாதனையாளர்கள், தங்கள் சாதனையை தங்களது அடுத்தடுத்த ஸ்டெப்கள் மூலம் தாங்களே வீழ்த்தி விட்டு புது சாதனை படைப்பார்கள்! எத்தனையோ விஞ்ஞானிகள், விளையாட்டு வீரர்கள், இலக்கிய கர்த்தாக்கள், சினிமா ஜாம்பாவான்கள் என்று எல்லாத் துறைகளிலுமே இப்படிப்பட்டவர்கள் உண்டு. கமலுக்கும் இப்படிப்பட்ட இயல்பு இருக்கிறது!

தான் ஏற்கெனவே செய்து பிரமிப்பூட்டிய சாதனையை ஒரு டிரெய்லர் போல் எடுத்துக் கொண்டு, அடுத்த ஸ்டெப்பில் அதை அப்படியே டெவலப் செய்து புதுசாக ஏதாவது செய்து நம்மை பிரமிக்கச் செய்வார்!

புன்னகை மன்னன் படத்தில் ``மாமாவுக்குக் கொடும்மா...'' பாடலின் ஓரிரு சீன்களில் செய்து காட்டி பிரமிப்பூட்டிய குள்ள உருவத்தை அப்படியே டெவலப் செய்து, அப்புவாக மாறி `அபூர்வ சகோதரர்கள்' மூலம் நம்மை மூக்கில் விரல் வைக்கச் செய்தார்!

`இந்தியன்' படத்தில் இந்தியன் தாத்தாவாக போட்ட மேக்கப் பெயர் வாங்கித் தர, அதை அப்படியே டெவலப் செய்து `அவ்வை சண்முகி'யாக முழுக்க முழுக்க ஒரு பெண்மணியாக மாறி பிரமிக்க வைத்தார். `அவ்வை சண்முகி'யில் ஒரு அவதாரம் என்றால் இப்போது இந்த பத்து அவதாரங்கள்!

`கமலுக்கு இந்தப் படத்தில் பத்து வேடங்கள் என்று ஒரு பத்திரிகையில் படித்தேன். `வேடம்' என்ற தோற்றம் மட்டுமே குறித்த சாதாரண வார்த்தை இங்கே கமலுக்குப் பொருந்தாது என்பது என் கருத்து. `வேடம்' என்பதற்கு மேலும் உருவ மாற்றம், பாவனை, மொழி, என்று எல்லா விஷயங்களிலும் மிகவும் மெனக்கெட்டு பர்ஃபெக்டாக அந்தந்த உருவங்களை நம் கண்முன் கொண்டு வர முயற்சித்திருக்கிறார் கமல்.

அதனால் அவதாரம் என்ற வார்த்தையே சரி கதை, மற்றும் படமாக்கிய பிரமாண்டம் என்பதன்படி பலரையும் அதிகம் கவர்வது நம்பி கேரக்டர் என்றாலும்கூட, கமலின் உருமாற்றத்தின்படி என்னை அதிகம் கவர்ந்தது வில்லன் ஃப்ளெட்சர்தான்! அப்படியே அந்த அமெரிக்கன் உதடுகள், கண்கள், உச்சரிப்பு, ஹாலிவுட் நடிகர் அர்னால்டை நினைவுபடுத்தும் அந்த சண்டைக் காட்சிகள் என்று பக்கா!

அடுத்தது அந்த கிருஷ்ணவேணி பாட்டி! அசினைவிட குள்ளமாக மாறி, அந்த உடல் நடுக்கமும், குரல் நடுக்கமும், இடுங்கிய கண்களும் சூப்பர்!

தசாவதாரம் - 31 நாள் ஏழரை கோடி வசூல்
மூன்று முறை தேசிய விருது வாங்கிய போதும், பத்மஸ்ரீ விருது கிடைத்த போதும் இப்படி மகிழ்ந்திருக்க மாட்டார் கமல்.

தசாவதாரத்தின் அதிரடி கலெக்ஷ்னில் கலைஞானி ஆடிப் போயிருக்கிறார். ஏ பி சி என மூன்று சென்டர்களிலும் படத்திற்கு அமர்ககள வரவேற்பு.

வெளிநாடுகளிலும் ரஜினியின் சிவாஜி வசூலை முறியடித்து ஓடிக்கொண்டிருக்கிறது படம். இங்கிலாந்தில் மட்டும் இரண்டு கோடிக்குமேல் வசூலித்துள்ளது.
சென்னையை பொறுத்தவரை வரலாறு காணாத வசூல். முதல் மு்பபத்தியொரு நாளில் சென்னையில் மட்டும் ஏழரை கோடி வசூலாகியுள்ளது. இது ரெக்கார்ட் பிரேக்.

சென்ற வாரம் வெளியான சுப்ரமணியபுரம், முனியாண்டி விலங்கியல் மூன்றாமாண்டு படங்களின் வார இறுதி வசூலை விட தசாவதாரத்தின் வார இறுதி வசூல் பன்மடங்கு அதிகம்.

சென்றவாரம் முனியாண்டி வார இறுதி வசூல் சிமார் எட்டு லட்சங்கள். சுப்ரமணியபுரத்தின் வசூல் சுமார் ஐந்தரை லட்சங்கள். தசாவதாரத்தின் வசூல் ஏறக்குறைய ஐம்பத்தியிரண்டு லட்சங்கள்.

கலைஞானியின் மகிழ்ச்சியில் ஒரு நியாயம் இருக்கவே செய்கிறது.

Sakala,
Directly or indirectly, SH**.com has been a anti-Kamal website for many years... They praise Aandavar (here & there) for the sake of sensationalism but for the most part they have "soft-pedalled" him! The way they boost/promote/advertise other actors (don't want to list out the names of the actors) and the way they have projected Aandavar negatively all these years is there to see... Even for the BO records of 10A, they haven't written anything other than their weekly BO report. If it would have been one of their "pet" heroes - they would have witten a lot of stories by now about the BO collections... I don't mind calling a spade a spade but SH**.com has been very "selective" in their eulogies!

More Mallika for Tamil audience!
July 23, 2008

After Dasavatharam, looks like Mallika Sherawat is the flavor of Kollywood now. Mallika Sherawat’s romantic Bollywood movie in 2005, Bachke Rehna Re Baba, is now being dubbed in Tamil as Mallika Kamini.

Mallika has a role with a difference in this movie where she plays an seductress who plots to entrap wealthy men by her looks and then forces them to pay a ransom. Rekha plays Mallika’s aunt in this movie, which was directed by Govindh Menon.

The movie did not do well in bollywood. It will be released by released by Mani Enterprises in Tamil Nadu as Mallika Kamini.

Why I like... Dasavathaaram

Actor Madhu Balaji

I am a parama rasikan of Kamal Haasan. I would have hardly missed a single film of his. Especially those he has done for K. Balachandar. For instance, I must have watched Nizhal Nijamagiradhu 40 to 50 times. We were a group of four friends; we knew some of his films frame-by-frame. Even if we watched a film of his for the nth time our excitement would be the same. We would hear the audience calling us names as we happily announced what was going to happen next. His latest, Dasavathaaram, is a masterpiece. It’s sad that we don’t value and encourage such classic films. When such a film is made in Hollywood, we go ga ga over it. I’m sure people will realise its worth 15 years hence and Dasavathaaram would have entered the golden history of Indian cinema. Apart from world-class technical inputs and the amazing make-up, Kamal scores high on acting too. Having done theatre for so long, I now understand what acting is and am completely moved by Kamal’s performance. In short, the film conveys his deep passion for cinema, his courage to experiment and his willingness to work hard.

No way that any distributor or anyone saying loss for the movie now. For a Kamal movie if at all a loss, it should have come in the initial stage itself.

The other point here is, as far i know in some theaters in the city it is still running good with 40 % 70% in the week days and from 60% to 100%(satyam) in week ends. That is extremely good. In My opinion a movie can be shown in theaters till the theater occupancy comes 25 % or so. Then there is no point in keeping the movie and it has to be immediately taken giving way for other movies to release. with this run i should at least 20 more days it can run in at least 10 centres. However not pretty sure on many other theaters in chennai and how it is running there (Maharani , Sri Brinda, etc)

As usual Kamal would have extremely satisfied with the collections and would not be caring about anything else and the same with the fans too. Theaters which are taking the movies now i believe would be extremely satisfied with the collections

In fact,I,Sakala&selva watched VV on the 2nd saturday of release-7.30 pm show,the balcony was full but the galleries were almost 70% empty.

I reiterate,after Avvai....,Dasa...... is the next big hit for Kamal here.

None of the other movies in between:Kadhala Kadhala,Chachi 420,Hey Ram,Aalavandhan,Tenali,PKS,Panchathanthiram,Anbe Sivam,Virumaandi,Vasool Raja MBBS,Mumbai Express&VV have done anything great.

Kamal and his modulations in Dasavatharam
July 25th, 2008

Kamal Hassan spoke about the modulations in Dasavatharam. For villain Fletcher’s role, his daughter Shruthi Haasan had suggested an English film for him to watch. He saw it and imitated a character’s style of talking. Kamal followed Bush’s walking style. For the Japanese character, he had a coach to teach him and also learned the martial art Aikido. For the CBI officer Balaram Naidu’s character, he used the Telugu slang of coastal Andhra region. In the Telugu version, they made the character as the Tamil speaking Balaram Nadar.

In the Hindi version Kamal becomes a Bengali. And there is this Marathi mixed Hindi too. For each character they Kamal has tried two to three types of modulations and finally arrived at one. So the effort is like working for thirty characters though Kamal played ten roles.

http://www.thetimes.co.za/Entertainment/Article.aspx?id=809184

Quote:

Kamal lifts Indian cinema to new heights

How does one begin to describe Dasava-tharam? After the hype, can any film live up to such high expectations? It is largely to Kamalhassan’s credit that these expectations are not only met but surpassed.

Dasavatharam takes Indian cinema to a new level, and I believe it will be a long time before its standards are matched, let alone exceeded.

Critics in India have taken the film to task for dealing with an abstract theory that is beyond the grasp of the ordinary cinemagoer. But one wonders what was going through the minds of these supposed critics.

On a superficial level, the film is an easy-to-follow thriller that any visually literate person would understand and enjoy. Beyond that, there are myriad issues that will leave one pondering for days.

To appreciate the complexities of the story, a basic understanding of the chaos theory and butterfly effect is necessary but not essential. There are many levels of meaning, and that is the beauty of Dasavatharam.

The core story concerns Govind (Kamalhassan), a scientist based in the United States. He is part of a research team who have discovered a new and dangerous virus that could have catastrophic repercussions if it fell into the wrong hands, as it has the potential to be developed into a bio-chemical weapon.

The findings reach the ears of President George Bush (Kamalhassan), who considers its possible uses.

When Govind realises that his superior plans to sell the vial containing the virus, he steals it. But the stakes are high and he soon finds his life in danger.

Govind’s superior calls in a former CIA officer-turned-mercenary, Christian Fletcher (Kamalhassan). When Fletcher is told that his mission will take him to Tamil Nadu, he enlists the services of someone who knows Tamil and English and who can easily be bought (Mallika Sherawat).

In India, Inspector Balram Naidu (Kamal- hassan) becomes involved in the intrigue.

Meanwhile, Shingen Narahashi (Kamalhassan), a Japanese fight master, mistakes Govind as the killer of his younger sister and also pursues him.

The breathless chase also involves social activist Vincent Poovaragan, the mentally disturbed Granny Krishnaveni, Punjabi pop singer Avatar Singh and a two-metre giant with a big heart, Kallifulla Khan — all also played by Kamalhassan.

Along the way, Govind meets Aandall (Asin), an excitable devotee of Lord Vishnu who becomes involved when the vial is hid- den in a statue of the deity. Together they face one peril after another, with Fletcher hot on their trail.

For how long will Govind be able to stay one step ahead of Fletcher, Naidu and Narahashi? What will happen to the vial and what will be the result if Fletcher gets his hands on it? The rest of the narrative provides the answers.

It is an unparalleled cinematic achievement. To play 10 roles is difficult enough, but to develop each of those characters — like the ferocity of Fletcher, the peacefulness of Natahashi or the delightful innocence of Narahashi — is an accomplishment that will be difficult to match.

Asin also does full justice to a role that is remarkably unlike most of her previous roles. Jayapradha, Sherawat, MS Bhaskar, Nagesh and P Vasu are the best of the others.

Ravi Varman’s cinematography is splendid. The tsunami sequence is the most im- pressive.

The film’s weakest link is the soundtrack by Himesh Reshammiya. An extraordinary film deserves an extraordinary soundtrack, and Reshammiya fails to deliver. Devi Shri Prasad, on the other hand, comes up trumps with his creative background score.

So, barring the music, is Dasavatharam a perfect movie? Not quite. In many of the scenes, the make-up looks too much like make-up.

Some of the landings of jumps from great heights are far too soft to be credible. But viewed against the monumental achievements of the rest of the movie, these are trivialities.

The film contains a universal message and has universal appeal. It is little wonder that it is smashing records wherever it is being screened.

On another level, it’s clear that Kamal-hassan, a confirmed atheist, is rethinking his views of religion. He also reveals a rare narcissistic side of himself in the script.

Dasavatharam is a proud achievement for Indian cinema and a spectacular achievement by Kamalhassan.

in the all, they forgot to mention anything about the nambi episode Laughing

ok. But i dont think in Sathyam next week it will be running, it would be shifted to santham.. Anything is fine for me Razz

This sunday is also most of shows are booked already

That too it is running very good there Evil or Very Mad

Ennatha Milk, ennatha pouring

I saw for the sixth time in satyam on Friday night. Though we got the tickets in the counter, it was almost full

except very few empty seats. Saturday and sunday except night shows all booked and before the show all the shows should have been definite houseful

But from this week end going to be shifted to other theater in satyam complex

Oru padam theaterla illaamalaeya towards 100th day banner in satyam

One movie while running extremely good to be shifted to other theater. Ennatha solla

BTW in Devi too as per Friday's status, 3 pm and evening shows were almost full for Sunday on Devi too

Quote:

3. Dasavataram: Kamal at his super best, with ten different roles in one single film and that too each role having some connection with each other, the film has turned out to be a major grosser ever since its release. Asin and Mallika Sherawat are the two beauties who added glamour to this much hyped film.

Which is your favorite Dasa or Heyram?
From: leosimha on Mon Jul 28 7:48:49 2008.

I have seen the movie 2 times till now. (for seeing only 2 times)

First time - Missed the first 20 minutes.

Second time - Saw the whole movie including the first 20 mins extravaganza from the UlagaNayagan.

Hats off to UlagaNayagan for pulling out a movie with a subject related to Chaos theory and Butterfly effect.

I hated Mallika Sherawat in the movie. Somebody else would have done a better job. heard that Mallika will be in Marmayogi. No don't want Mallika.

I would like to add more about my opinion on the movie later.

But for now, Kamal has etched out the characters with great pain. Lot of study has been done except for the movie lagging behind here and there. (only for few moments)
From: sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar on Mon Jul 28 7:59:19 2008.

sriman, i like both. but dasa is on top it doesnt mean that i dont like or understand class movies. or, its not that i like dasa for the reason that it smashed all records, i like it more for the racy screnplay but there r lot of others things too, that i ilke..

Yesterday, I got a chance to travel to mayiladuthurai, after a long time by car. I was able to see it is almost running in all the mofusul theatre that it got released. Starting from Krompet Vetri, Panruti balji, Chi-dam-baram, Sirkali, Mayavaram.. great show by thalaivar. Would have watched, but since I started in the late night .I cound't.

Btw, any idea how much we would have crossed by this time .say some 250 crores. Has there been a release for the HindiVersion..?
From: sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar on Mon Jul 28 8:11:48 2008.

i am also imagining, how great the victory celebration of dasa(Vetri \ Velli Vizaa) is gonna be

Movies come and movies go. But some stay, like Dasavatharam. The movie has not only sustained its hype but also has spared a series of interesting discussions over the cyberspace, interpreting the ten characters of Kamal

Trade Talk:
Despite the sudden rains lashing the city, the ticket sales have not seen any downfall proving that the movie is still riding high.

Public Talk:
Marmayogi!

No. Weeks Completed: 6
No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 192
Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 60 %
Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs.38,34,552.60

Total collections in Chennai by end of the seventh weekend: Rs.9.44 Crore - sooberabbu

From: Amarshiva on Mon Jul 28 12:15:32 2008.

Easily It will cross 10 cr by this weekend itself as other movie is also getting released. The regular comers+ those who didn't get for other movies surely will hit our screens too. Also, this weekend is crossing the 50 th day. More fans will come for their respective repeat times. Easy chances are there to cross 10c in chennai itself...

Feddy, and

Nerd and others, who make fun witht eh tagline 200C in 25 days,

1) The Producer mentioned that dasa's total collections has the potential to touch 400C, and also said, to date, its 100C (28th june)

2) There are many articles floating that Sivaaji's record is broken in most of the places, esp chennai city

3) The exact 200C is based on the insiders news from an ardent kamal fan dubai ananth, who became close to aascar, and he revealed that total collections reached 230C, some days b4.

Feddy,

I don't have issue if dasavathaaram collected that much. But we are talking about the reliability of the source and also area wise collections. For me it does not make much sense if they just throw the numbers. Especially we know the maximum potential of tamil movies in various areas.

mmm, will convey this to aascar ravi, when i meet him Laughing

Especially we know the maximum potential of tamil movies in various areas.

well, if you know, u can reveal them for us, i hope....

also, may i remind that, dasa's case is mostly same as the other blockbusters we had yesteryears....so if we trust they done, we can trust dasa on samelines. also there is a striking diff, the producer boldly came with the then figures and also said what he guess as total estimate. pls see to that other producers just stop after giving ads in thinathanthi. they never speak to press, like aascar, or the regular bollywood producers do...

Sakala, orE oru point, BOSS collected 13+ Cr in chennai city alone overall. Source abirami ramanathan, behindwoods etc., Dasa is standing at 9+Cr on its last weekend (as a wide release). So there.. Nobody doubts the opening, CM < anniyan < VV < BOSS < Dasa.

Hope this does not result in *fights*, I am not interested at all!

Leave about these websites. In My opinion Dasa should have collected somewhere around 17 crores in Chennai+ Sub Urbans(including Tambaram, chrompet, Nanganallur, etc..) + MayaJaal when it completes 7 weeks..

Movies come and movies go. But some stay, like Dasavatharam. The movie has not only sustained its hype but also has spared a series of interesting discussions over the cyberspace, interpreting the ten characters of Kamal

Trade Talk:
Despite the sudden rains lashing the city, the ticket sales have not seen any downfall proving that the movie is still riding high.

Public Talk:
Marmayogi!

No. Weeks Completed: 6
No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 192

When it rains, it pours.

Rajini-Shankar-Rahman trio is beyond comparison and if there’s anything that the fans are complaining about the movie, it’s the tickets.

First of all, as i've been saying, their (Behindwood's) occupancy %age given for Dasa even for the first two weeks was dubious.

How much has it actually collected.

Am aware that Nerd&Co will not believe the figures you quote but I have no doubt that you will not say exaggarated figures just because you are a Kamal fanatic

From: hub rap on Tue Jul 29 10:49:32 2008.

Probably too late... But still my 20 cents

In spite of a third rate make up (gives me an admiration for Shankar), Fletcher is my favourite. I am craving for more of Kamal in negative roles. The following dialogues were uttered with a certain class
"Champion ****"
"who do you think she is? Mother Teresa? You are out of your **** mind"
"Freaking hero, aren't you?"

I found myself LOL-ing alone in the entire theatre for the following scene.
Dr Sethu: She's a pro
Fletcher:That's alright. what about the language?

Basker made quite an impact. It was a riot to watch him speak with fletcher. The expression Fletcher gives when Kumar says S (yes) is just spot on.

I kinda started liking Asin's performance from my third watching. Pity her for the role she was given. K S Ravikumar dance thEvaiyA? should have irked both the mass and the class audience.

Some negatives:
The very first function scene is utter crap. I find neither purpose nor entertainment there. The way Govind speaks there is totally not in tandem with his character. If somebody could get me an adjective to describe the way he speaks....?

sAdhAranamA oruththan pAdanumnA, udit narayan or sukhwinder singh is brought to sing. For a sardar-ji song, kamal sings with perfect Tamizh diction?? Liked the song, though.

Bush has mocked himself better than anybody could ever do of someone. We have seen even more hilarious pictures and videos of him. Kamal as Bush just lost to the original.

I seriously dont understand the chaos theory connection? Am sure it has been discussed earlier.. can sombody pl?

My verdict:
Though i enjoyed the movie, I dont expect it to be something like an ambassador of tamil or indian cinema. Certainly below par Kamal standards.
