  Few days back, I heard the hindi version of 'Ulaga naayanganae' song in a Bangalore FM. Hindi version on its way ??
  I am not sure whether they did it in the past also.

  Finally our Dasavatharam voting has been completed. We THANK all the readers for taking part in the DASAVATHARAM voting. As the voting results clearly indicating that the movie DASAVATHARAM is a ALL TIME BLOCK BUSTER.What is the actual trade outcome of the movie, What about the Box Office report status?, SuperShowBiz presents to you the exclusive Dasavatharam BOX OFFICE report, read on further to know more.Kamal Haasan's Dasavatharam is still on making waves at the box office with its astonishing collections. The magnum opus produced by Ravichandran and directed by Ravikumar, has entered the Fourth week, is still drawing packed houses and number one in Box office, fourth week in a row. The movie is doing well in multiplexes and has managed healthy collections in urban centers.From the trade facts one can infer that dasavatharam is a Mega Blockbuster Hit. But inorder to know its exact position, we have taken yet another Blockbuster movie superstar's 'Sivaji' for comparison (Not to hurt Rajini Fans).Film has met with a resounding success so far at the Box office surpassing all previous records. Now Aascar must be smiling and reaping the rewards for the huge risk he took to take the film forward. Proof being the near-stampede crowd at the box office during weekends. With no promising contenders at the box-office, Dasavatharam's dominance is expected to continue for a few more weeks.Dasavatharam is all about Kamal and Kamal only. He has just mesmerized the masses by his acting skills and that is the main reason for its spectacular success worldwide collection wise. Finally, there is no doubt that Kamalhaasan's magnum opus Dasavatharam is making progress to become an all time BlockBuster and it is already a BlockBuster. But, I doubt if the film will cross 100 days in many screens as it was released in a record number of screens, because there is yet another biggie waiting on the roads, Kuselan.Finally, All in all a path breaking movie for the Tamil Film Industry and realizing Kamal dreams to take the level of Tamil Cinema to World stage and With two back to back Blockbusters (Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu and Dasavatharam), Kamal has proved that he is also the Box Office King.In Chennai, it has made 7. 5 crores in the first 31 days in a new path breaking record. The weekly collection of 'Dasavatharam' is many times higher than its co release movies. The box office collection overseas has also put 'Sivaji' collection in the shade.Sivaji box office performance according to Behind woods at the end of fifth weekend : Total collections in Chennai by end of the Fifth weekend: Rs.7.01 crores. Dasavatharam box office performance according to Behind Woods at fifth weekend:Total collections in Chennai by end of the Fifth weekend: Rs.7.53 Crore Overseas International Box Office Collections for the first THREE WEEKS: Movie Name - Week - Collections --- Total ------- Worldwide BO Rank - SourceSivaji ---------- 1 ---- $1,324,861 -- $1,324,861 ------ 15 ---- http://www.boxofficemojo.com/intl/weekend/?yr=2007&wk=24&p=.htmDasavatharam - 1 ---- $4,632,719 -- $4,632,719 ------ 7 ----- http://www.boxofficemojo.com/intl/weekend/?yr=2008&wk=24&p=.htmSivaji ---------- 2 ---- $825,706 --- $3,705,252 ------- 24 ---- http://www.boxofficemojo.com/intl/weekend/?yr=2007&wk=25&p=.htmDasavatharam - 2 ---- $3,416,778 -- $11,653,212 ------ 11 ---- http://www.boxofficemojo.com/intl/weekend/?yr=2008&wk=25&p=.htmSivaji ---------- 3 ---- $549,736 --- $4,769,144 ------- 32 ---- http://www.boxofficemojo.com/intl/weekend/?yr=2007&wk=26&p=.htmDasavatharam - 3 ---- $2,006,896 - $14,683,762 ----- 19 ---- http://www.boxofficemojo.com/intl/weekend/?yr=2008&wk=26&p=.htm
  
  Finally at the End of three weeks DASAVATHARAM has collected $14,683,762, which is approximately $10,000,000 more than SIVAJI's collections during the same period last year. Dasavatharam has already earned more than 100% profit for the Producer. What more a Producer want from a film ? Although the Media and some Critics have tried and are trying their best to belittle the success of Dasavatharam, they cannot hide the truth for long.Thank you one and all for taking part in the SuperShowBiz Dasavatharam voting. Comments are welcome. Now there are lot of vibes happening around the movie 'Kuselan' having superstar Rajinikanth, and the movie is going to be released on AUGUST 1, 2008, worldwide.

  “There is nothing great with Dasavatharam” - Bharathiraja
  July 31st, 2008
  
  “Lack of good scripts are more prevalent in both Tamil and Malayalam film industry” said Director Bharathiraja. Bharathiraja was on a visit to Thirichur for some personal reason and over there he interacted with journalists about his forthcoming flick Bommalaattam as well the bleak scenario of Tamil film industry. He stated the core reason for not penning good scripts is because all the script writers have turned into directors and it is a film made for actors and not actors for films.
  
  Leading actors insist they are in need of such aspects that will entertain their audiences and this has put the good directors off. Also added that at the moment, producers of the film is not concerned about the narrative aspects while they are more interested on the technical aspects. Dasavatharam could be the one best illustration that has good technical attributes, but nothing great with the story.

  Congratulations.I was watching the ads of all major cities. This movie has little changes everywhere except chennai and coimbatore. Traditionally for Kamal chennai and coimbatore are very strong but for this movie it is otherway around. It does not mean that it does not do well in these cities. But It does even better in other cities.

• From: joe on Thu Jul 31 23:34:55 2008.

  Thamizharan,
  Usually Non kamal/Rajini movies releases only in one screen ..Some don't even release (eg ..Subramaniyapuram) and one month run in one screen is considered very good.
  
  Before sivaji ,kamal/rajini movies too released max 2 screens ..Now sivaji and dasa released in 4 screens ,both did well.

  This was the exact situation
  13 June 9pm - Dasa released in Yishun 9 & 10
  15 June onwards - Dasa released in Yishun 7, 9 & 10 & 2 cathay screens

  Thanks Thread starter. I have already posted in a Indian community for everybody to see...
  
  Dasavatharam becomes the first Indian film to run for 50 days in 750 centers across the world. One of the Telugu websites have published. Its funny the Tamil websites have reported that the movie is just a super-hit and no big advertisement but our neighboring state AP has come up with the facts and have shown us what is honest news and what is not. Its a shame that they have been advertising Kuselan, a movie where Rajnikanth comes as a guest role and its everywhere in the media right from FM channels and TV coverage. But Dasa has silently won the battle by running 50 days in 750 centres.

  Yes Thamizh!
  
  <Digression>
  Anyway, let me take my word back and re-clarify my stance on BR! I wouldn't say I *hate* him. He is a good director (especially during the 80's) but not a *great* director, in my books! One great thing about BR is that - he was the trend setter in taking Thamizh cinema outside of the four walls of studios and sets! He deserves big kudos for that!

  Quote:

  “Lack of good scripts are more prevalent in both Tamil and Malayalam film industry” said Director Bharathiraja. Bharathiraja was on a visit to Thirichur for some personal reason and over there he interacted with journalists about his forthcoming flick Bommalaattam as well the bleak scenario of Tamil film industry. He stated the core reason for not penning good scripts is because all the script writers have turned into directors and it is a film made for actors and not actors for films. Leading actors insist they are in need of such aspects that will entertain their audiences and this has put the good directors off. Also added that at the moment, producers of the film is not concerned about the narrative aspects while they are more interested on the technical aspects. Dasavatharam could be the one best illustration that has good technical attributes, but nothing great with the story.

  
  
  He's got a point about films bing made for actors and not actors for films; a lot of that has been happening for decades- whether it's a push for actors to enter the political arena or for pure profit.
  
  As for the story, Dasa never really pushed itself as having a brilliant, engaging plot. It did have a story, just like any other (including BR's) movie. And like BR's movies, Dasa had characters who fulfilled specific tasks, conflict and resolution. The main focus though was on the 10 characters and the SPFX.

  Dasavatharam 50 Not Out. This blog really took off with the release of Dasavatharam and the interest in this film on Blogosphere has never ceased to amaze me. Just as Kuselan made its big debut yesterday (August 1) Dash completed 50 days at the Box Office. Kamal and Rajni have been screen rivals since the 1970s and it is interesting that the release of their films should coincide even in 2008. The last time their films overlapped was in 2005 when Chandramukhi was a blockbuster and Mumbai Express simply was not. This time around Dash has emerged a blockbuster and Kuselan (With Rajni in a special appearance) has a tough and near impossible task to emulate. The jury be divided about Dash but most of the people who have an opinion about the film have actually watched it. That's what the tidal wave of hype ensured - Record audiences and repeat audiences worldwide even among people who usually give Kamal and Tamil films a miss. Agreed it was not Kamal's best film ever but if the box office reports circulating the web are even remotely accurate, this is one of the biggest Tamil Blockbusters ever. A film that Kamal can be proud of. Kuslean has certainly stolen the thunder from Dash at the BO but Dash continues to tick after 50 days. And going by the opening numbers for Kuselan the film is unlikely to re-create the Box Office Magic of Dash's opening week. Kamal's last two films Vettaiyadu and Vilaiyadu and Dasavatharam have certainly silenced criticism about his Box Office Potential. And as for the myriad opinions about Dasavatharam all I can say is that a great work of art usually draws criticism, sparks debates and usually gets interpreted differently by different folks. As for Kuselan the next few days will determine if it sparks the same interest as Dash.

  Dasa's posters were found in the Wood lands complex. In fact the only posters seen were Kuselan and Dasa.
  
  May be Dasa is still running there, but surprisingly not in the Chennai ads.

  I am 100% sure that, it is not just one of the biggest blockbuster, but it is the biggest south Indian movie ever in terms of collections considering overall At least for another 1.5 years this is not going to change Hope the Hindi version release and collect reasonably well to become the biggest Indian movie

Just as Kuselan made its big debut yesterday (August 1) Dash completed 50 days at the Box Office. Kamal and Rajni have been screen rivals since the 1970s and it is interesting that the release of their films should coincide even in 2008. The last time their films overlapped was in 2005 when Chandramukhi was a blockbuster and Mumbai Express simply was not. This time around Dash has emerged a blockbuster and Kuselan (With Rajni in a special appearance) has a tough and near impossible task to emulate. The jury be divided about Dash but most of the people who have an opinion about the film have actually watched it. That's what the tidal wave of hype ensured - Record audiences and repeat audiences worldwide even among people who usually give Kamal and Tamil films a miss. Agreed it was not Kamal's best film ever but if the box office reports circulating the web are even remotely accurate, this is one of the biggest Tamil Blockbusters ever. A film that Kamal can be proud of. Kuslean has certainly stolen the thunder from Dash at the BO but Dash continues to tick after 50 days. And going by the opening numbers for Kuselan the film is unlikely to re-create the Box Office Magic of Dash's opening week. Kamal's last two films Vettaiyadu and Vilaiyadu and Dasavatharam have certainly silenced criticism about his Box Office Potential. And as for the myriad opinions about Dasavatharam all I can say is that a great work of art usually draws criticism, sparks debates and usually gets interpreted differently by different folks. As for Kuselan the next few days will determine if it sparks the same interest as Dash. EKSI "thann muyarchiyil satrum thalaraadha vikramaadhithan"

  Looks like DASA is going great guns. Why does this blog author publish wrong info - Kamal and Rajni have been rivals since 1970s? In 1970s, both Thilagams were very much active and ruling TN. Does any one know when this kamal-rajni rivalry started?

  A new issue on 'Dasavatharam'
  
  Despite the film 'Dasavatharam' crossing 50 days it has been still been generating heat in one way or the other, controversies have been biting the film since the day of its release and the latest to join the bandwagon is the Nadar community. Apparently, there is a scene in the film where a Dalit leader argues with a illegal sand quarry owner and now a group called Nadar Makkal Iyakkam has got into protests since they feel that it was pointed at their community as stealers of sand. Let us see what happens now.

  hmm.. Even I missed this word. I am not sure on this news. Has this come in any of our local medias like Dinathanthi (Belongs to their group) or Dinakaran ? If this is the case, sarath kumar's brother (Sudharshan) would have made a statement in the media.. I doubt it...No statement from Aathithanaar group or Karikolraj group. ivvalavu neram summa irukka maataangalaey... oru maanaadu nadathi mudhichirupangalaey

  Hi everyone.
  Just a small doubt regarding the scene where they hook Rangaraj Nambi right before hang him in Kallai Kandaal song. I just want to know whether that hooking portion is removed or not in India???
  In Malaysia, they censored that particular scene. Youtube-la pArtha piragu thAn, appadi oru part irunthathE enakku theriyum.
  Recently, video songs of Dasa (VCD) released here. Again that scene was deleted.

  Dasavatharam creates yet another record
  August 05, 2008
  The information below has been sent by a Behindwoods visitor from the UAE. If you need to verify the information here, contact the visitor at the email id below.
  
  Hi,
  
  I am a regular viewer of behindwoods.com and appreciate your efforts to post news related to Kollywood films.
  Dasavatharam
  
  I am glad to inform you that Dasavatharam has completed 50 days in Dubai and thereby created a history in the UAE. Yes, it is possibly the first Tamil film to reach a milestone of 50 days. Normally Tamil films are taken out of the theatres within the first four weeks of its release here, but for Dasavatharam, due to the fact that many non-Tamil speaking audiences are thronging the theatres to see Kamal in 10 different roles, it has continued running. It would be great treat to Tamil cinema fans if you post this news in your website.
  
  The details:
  First 5 weeks 4 shows in Galleria I
  Sixth and Seventh week Galleria II
  .
  Regards,
  Sundar

They came up with classical gems for VV, right from the opening. The usual stunts of "above average", "hit", superhit" (dont think they admitted that it was a blockbuster).
  They certainly downplayed its success.
  And this is the best. they wrote that VV had collected X amount in Sathyam (not sure of the exact amount) - which incidentally was the highest ever at that time (broken later by Sivaji and Dasa) at Sathyam. Later, they said Anniyan/Ghajini (in some other article) was the biggest grosser @ Sathyam though the amount they gave was less than what they gave for VV

  IMO, Anti-Kamal Web sites are below:
  1. Sify
  2. Rediff
  3. Behindwoods
  4. Behindbikes
  
  All these web sites have "soft pedalled" and downplayed Aandavar for all these years and there is lot of "ul kuthu" against Aandavar in their postings/propoganda! By the by, SIFY's liberal usage of the term "Superstar", "Larger than Life Image Hero" etc. for all and sundry Tamil heroes except Aandavar is
  
  To me, the relatively, neutral/turstworthy websites are "cinesouth" & "tamilcinema.com"

  Thamizh,
  May be they might support Rajini/vijay but at least I have not seen them purposely putting down Kamal or toher hereos. They call "spade a spade". Even when it comes to BO reports, I found them reasonable/neutral compared to behindwoods, sify etc...
  
  I once remember Behindwoods showed Kamal in a poor light by quoting him something that he never said... Also, SIFY in the past has done a lot by quoting Kamal "out of context" and painting a totally wrong pciture...

  That is VERY typical of how the media functions.
  
  idhu enna perusu.. innoru incident irukku.. it may sound even more childish to you. A couple of North Indies ladies from "Times Now" who were covering Dasa opening show @ Albert earned the wrath of a bakthan. The next day they ran this article which said something like "Dasavatharam is a damp squib at the box office"
  Facts are sometimes stranger than fiction

  not only that, there is one particular media-specific/unique behavior/attitude - sensationalism devoid of an objective approach is one thing that many dailies unashamedly incorporate as a policy!
  
  when it comes to the output of certain artistes like Kamal, IR, I just do not buy what the media says - they are both beyond media focus - coz there is noone working with the media with their knowledge of their respective professions (cinema and music respectively)! knowledgeable people like Theodore Bhaskaran and Randor Guy moved away from media work longtime ago if am not mistaken

If you need to verify the information here, contact the visitor at the email id below. Hi, I am a regular viewer of behindwoods.com and appreciate your efforts to post news related to Kollywood films. Dasavatharam I am glad to inform you that Dasavatharam has completed 50 days in Dubai and thereby created a history in the UAE. Yes, it is possibly the first Tamil film to reach a milestone of 50 days. Normally Tamil films are taken out of the theatres within the first four weeks of its release here, but for Dasavatharam, due to the fact that many non-Tamil speaking audiences are thronging the theatres to see Kamal in 10 different roles, it has continued running. It would be great treat to Tamil cinema fans if you post this news in your website. The details: First 5 weeks 4 shows in Galleria I Sixth and Seventh week Galleria II . Regards, Sundar sundar1684@gmail.com

  LL, enna ippadi sollipteenga? They have always been anti-Kamal. For every positive thing they write, they write many negatives and backhanded compliments. They came up with classical gems for VV, right from the opening. The usual stunts of "above average", "hit", superhit" (dont think they admitted that it was a blockbuster). They certainly downplayed its success. And this is the best. they wrote that VV had collected X amount in Sathyam (not sure of the exact amount) - which incidentally was the highest ever at that time (broken later by Sivaji and Dasa) at Sathyam. Later, they said Anniyan/Ghajini (in some other article) was the biggest grosser @ Sathyam though the amount they gave was less than what they gave for VV Naathematics indha madhiri comedy panradhu Sify la daily happening

  Chennai Box Office Aug 1-3
  
  The superstar and his Kuselan just walked into the CBO this week and took over the throne! Though the film carries mixed reports, it has taken a good opening. At number two is Subramaniapuram, which holds on despite the Rajini storm. Dasavatharam has lost most of its screens, including Sathyam, to Kuselan and is now placed at number three position. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is rock steady in fourth, while The Dark Knight is good at multiplexes and is in the fifth position.
  
  Note : Ratings are based on the box office collections and the cost of the film
  
  
  Kuselan
  Cast: Rajinikanth, Pasupathy, Nayanthara, Meena, Vadivel
  Director : P.Vasu
  Rajinikanth, last 20-minute climax

  In Indian Film Industry there is an opinion that investing above 20 Crore for any Indian movie(that too a regional movie like Tamil) is not feasible, It is a huge risk.

  Kamal and Asin in Walt Disney film!
  
  By Moviebuzz | Monday, 11 August , 2008, 09:09
  
  
  Bharath Bala and his Bharath Bala Productions (BBP) who makes television commercials, documentaries and music videos have now tied up with Walt Disney to produce a feature film in English. The martial arts film titled 19 Steps, will feature Kamal Hassan, Japanese superstar Tadanobu Asano, and Asin in the lead roles. It will be directed by Bharath Bala and will have music by A.R Rahman.
  
  Remember Bala and Rahman combo have produced the unforgettable music video documentaries like Jana Gana Mana and Vande Mataram.
  
  Bala's film is based on a script written by the best known writer in Malayalam M.T Vasudevan Nair or MT as he is popularly known, a Jnanpith award winner who has won five National awards for screenplay writing.
  
  This period film deals with Kalaripayattu the martial arts form from Kerala and will trace its roots to the ninth century.
  
  MT, the 75 year old literary giant has written on Kerala folklores and warlords in films like Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha and is now the script writer of Hariharan directed Pazhassi Raja, the costliest Malayalam film ever, a historical featuring Mammootty and Sarath Kumar.
  
  MT's script is now being re-written by Hollywood script doctors to give 19 Steps an international look and suitable for an overseas audience.
  
  In the film Kamal plays a character role of a veteran Kalaripayattu guru who trains Tadanobu Asano in his fight against his enemies. Asin will play a local princess and a martial arts expert who falls in love with Asano.
  
  The shooting of the $ 50 million film is likely to start in the summer of 2009, and Walt Disney wants a fusion of Japanese and Indian martial arts in the film.
  
  It will have versions in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Japanese. Recently Bharat Bala told a tabloid "It's too early to disclose anything. Currently we are in the midst of negotiations."

  Is the above true?

  Chennai Box Office Update!
  Kamal’s Dasavatharam, woven around the ten characters that he created, is unfailingly entertaining the audience even after weeks of its release. The galore of talented artistes and technicians also contributed to the success of the movie.
  
  Trade Talk:
  Trade has no reason to complain since the movie has already collected the investments during the first week of its release.
  
  Public Talk:
  Spellbound. But, what exactly was Mallika Sherawat’s contribution to the movie?
  
  No. Weeks Completed: 8
  No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 114
  Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 50 %
  Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 11,83,594
  Total collections in Chennai by end of the ninth weekend: Rs.10.36 Crore
  
  Verdict: Blockbuster

  Watched dasa at Cuddallore Krishnalaya yesterday, sunday morning show. 50% full and afternoon show had a full rush in quee.
  
  one thing is, the scene where Ja.Ra justifies his sand mafia, he speaks different dialogs, from what i saw the previous times.. he speaks like, "I gave sand to build bridges ect, now i am taking that sand for my use'illegal sale'..." something like that. but it didnt gel nicely..
  
  that dialog comes in between when poovaraghan says "chandramandalathukkum poviya" dialog, and Ja.Ra. saying "Mariyaathayaa pesu"
  
  btw, that theatre sound effect was irritating to the core... the main voice was coimng low and all the side-sound effect ones where audiable too loud. for ex, in mukunda song beginning, there will be a paatti sitting left side to asin putting 'jalra' sound. that jalra sound was coming too loud than the main voice

  cuddalore Krishnalaya theatre sound system laam aapidithaan irukkum. Even in chennai there are such theatres, where sound systems are just 'noise' systems.
  I had the painful memories of watching cinema in Kolathur Kumaran theatre (which has sadly been demolished to build a complex) where the volume level is boosted for songs and there is a serial light around the screen that lights up for hit songs that blaze out your ear drums.

  I hope it is not released by that stupid Sruthilayam. From the sound of 2-in-1 it seems more like a Sruthilayam DVD. In that case i will have to wait for few more months for the Ayngaran DVD with good sound quality, Sub Title and Special Features (just like VV)

  When I bought the original VCD, there were several DVD versions too - 3 in 1, up to 6 in 1 - all pirated.

  Self-improvement means reaching for greater heights, even with many failures along the way. Edison failed 100s of times before he made the final invention.
  
  One should not compromise on quality and drop standards for quick profits. Be the change you want to see, said Gandhi.
  
  This applies only to people like Kamal who has expressed many times that he wants to raise the standards of Tamil cinema. Dasa is a black mark on his dreams - that is what I wanted to say.

  Your intention may be genuine ,but not all who try to put kamal in this angle ..there may be hidden agenda in that ,IMO ..Media and some intellectuals purposely wanted to downgrade kamal's commercial capability (putting him below even some new comers) ..If you want to achive ,you need market and demand commercially as well ,which kamal can't ignore all the time .
  
  So Dasavatharam is very much needed to reply those who tried to doubt the commercial capability of kamal Hassan.

  Anyway, I have already answered your original question and wish to rest here.
  
  

• From: irir123 on Mon Aug 11 23:43:41 2008.

  IMO, the comparison with Edison doesnt make sense! Edison belonged to a different place, different area and Kamal belongs to a very superficial form of art called cinema, which in India, attains even more superficiality in a star-driven industry - I know people who trashed Hey ram calling it an ego trip of Kamal and tons of critics who mindlessly trashed that movie without an iota of consideration for the meticulous detailing that went into that movie's making or an objective criticism of the film!
  
  idhukellaam oru yellaiyye kidaiyaadhu - though I am not entirely happy with DASA, its success makes me very very happy! way to go! avar porumaikkum oru yellai undu - DASA was Kamal's way of shutting many mouths that could never stop yoddling about Kamal's failures at the box office
  
  as I have mentioned b4, IMO, Kamals biggest blunder was Alavandhaan - that is a drishti suzhi indeed in his career

  Absolutely .... Alavandhaan set him back quite a bit, not only the result of the movie but also the fracas with Thanu. It had everything going for it in terms of expectations but Kamal just blew it. This is where a director like KSR was needed. He would have reined in Kamal. The movie may not have gotten critical acclaim but would have passed muster commercially .
  
  Another movie that I really wondered why Kamal did was "Mumbai Express". Don't know what he saw in the movie to release it in Hindi also!

  You might want to add MX to that list! No offence meant, IMHO, with Murphy's Law or whatever not withstanding, MX still looked like a piece of **** even for a faithful Aandavar fan like me!
  Whatever reasoning one may give, it's a movie that's simply not worth a Kamal Haasan and that too in this stage of his career!
  
  On the contrary, I liked Aalavandhan to a certain extent at least for Nandhu Kamal's acting and some imaginative film-making during the first half. But the movie was done in by the enormous pre-release hype where the final output could never scale up to the hype!
  
  

• From: leosimha on Tue Aug 12 4:59:12 2008.

  Will the producer of Dasavathaaram come out with the figures of the box office collection of the film? It would be great if he talks to the press and shut the critics mouth.
  
  Aalavandhaan was not bad but yes as Movie Cop says, MX was ???? don't know what to say. but it did break even due to the low budget and digital making of the film.
  
  But Aalavandhaan was promoted as Kamal's 200th movie and it had too much of too much of hype and the film did have some gory violence scenes which people were too scared to digest it!

  joe, i am recently posting these theatree lists as i see in daily thanthi bangalore edition. that too print version not online. so i think its genuine list. and yes its removed in multiplexes.
  
  eventho aascar is bad by not having a website or not putting a big ad on 50th day, with a updated list of all theatres, he is good at re releasing the movie to smaller halls and reasonable rates. aascar the distributer is doing this. aascar the producer is sleeping

  i too hav this kostin, but anyways if there is really a point then it can be run. i doubt if the other bollywood movies are made run at multiplexes for 100 days.. i feel its bit unnessesary becos
  
  still in india, multiplex crowd is less only. i mean, ppl who are ready to spend ~300 for a movie is not that much. also ppl like to see movies in their nearby vincinity. in that way, re-releasing will bring newer audience and hence the movie will sustain in different areas for a long time.

  I guess in most of the theatres it will go.. because no other major movie is gonna released.. I am able to see only satyam and some dam doom.. the reach will be very small.. so dasa will surely go for 100 days in those centers.. by august end we'll be in 80 days and can easily cross 100 days..
  
  If this happens, it would have easily touched 300 cr mark without hindi release, if all of our collections figures are true.
  
  Waiting for the 100th Day..

  Quite the opposite Amar.
  Even though its doing decently (considering the # of days and wide release), its been removed in quite a few centers and with Satyam, Dham Dhoom, Saroja to follow, a few more will replace it....
  Reach small-a? Satyam publicity pinrAnga pola..

  Last week I saw that it was running in Jayankondam & Pattukkoattai .. The songs particularly "Kallai Mattum" and "Mukunda" which are now been shown in TV(Sun Music) are generating curiosity among the lady audience who are not used to visit theatres for some time..

  1. Yes, there is no question of any section to TALK. there mouths have been shut. only the so called critics will be talking.
  
  2. oh yes, I missed the "18th day", now it should be moving towards 300 crores. All over the world blockbuster. Wish this movie is showcased to the French/German filmmakers and people, surely they will like it. I guess they will screen in special film festivals even after the release. Have they screened it in Korea where Virumaandi won the award.

  Lokanayakudu Kamal Haasan who came up with a revolutionary concept of ten roles with different backdrops and linking each character with each other in some way or the other has still been sitting pretty on the top movies list. His hard work and commitment really paid off this time. The film sits in position 5 of the toppers list of the week.

No offence meant, IMHO, with Murphy's Law or whatever not withstanding, MX still looked like a piece of **** even for a faithful Aandavar fan like me! Whatever reasoning one may give, it's a movie that's simply not worth a Kamal Haasan and that too in this stage of his career! On the contrary, I liked Aalavandhan to a certain extent at least for Nandhu Kamal's acting and some imaginative film-making during the first half. But the movie was done in by the enormous pre-release hype where the final output could never scale up to the hype!

  
  
  MX looked like a s**t to an andavar fan like you because it had Kamal playing a rather subdued and confused enitity's role - a stupid, innocent and at the same time trmendously lucky guy, who is being exploited by everyone including the girl he loves and his sister (played very competently by Kovai Sarala) and yet he comes out on top due to circumstances. This is what we call a 'comedy of errors'. It did not appeal to the too much 'talk talk **** aligned comedy' attuned ears of our audience and fans. To call it a s***t brings out the level of understanding of a movie and doesn't bring down the quality of the movie even one bit. ten years later you will be wondering why it did not make any sense to me then. It is that type and was made at a rather modest budget with people of the right calibre . Just note how Kamal graciously gave screen space to Pasupathi, Vyapuri and later in the second half to Nasser and sharad saxena (who go ballistic with code word 'sex'!!) Though some portions could have been staged better, it was a good comedy movie which tried to rescue thamizh comedies which have been either too 'slap kick' than slapstick or too much dialogues and confusion over mistaken identities than clear identity of the script. thanks to your acerbic comment on MX, I want to revisit this underrated adn misunderstood gem. Now coming back to Dasavathaaram and its commercial ramnifications and ppl like joe saying it is Kamal's way of proving that he is commercially viable , He has already proven that with Vasool Raja MBBS or with Aboorva sahodharargaL, Sakalakala vallavan etc etc too many times in his 40 year artistic career. He should be looking to create more meaningful movies that make the world look at him like the way Iranians and chinese are making with their films. and to make such movies you dont need 150 Crs and dabbling and fighting with producers. You just need willingness and a show like Dasa is a slip down in that regard - Sure this gimmick could have been done at a later point with lesser cost and offcourse - my favourite gripe - lesser rubber.

  The problem with Bangalore distribution is the number of prints.
  Since they have lesser prints, they keep circulating amongst all the theatres and theatres on the outskirts like Kadirenahalli and chikkalasandra regularly play kamal movies and they dont even get reported in the papers or in posters - from what i heard from my friends in Bangalore - Dasa is running strong all over Bangalore and Mysore too.
  
  

• From: crajkumar_be on Tue Aug 12 10:38:03 2008.

  IMO, MX was definitely not *crap*. It had its moments. Not among his best comedies but i don't think it deserves such a dissing...
  
  Thalaivar's acting is one of the unnoticed/underrated things in the film.
  However, the saddest thing for me is the way Ilaiyaan's fantastic songs/score got dissed/unnoticed
  [Two standout pieces of BGM - the crane scene and the grand but tiny piece during the train scene]
  
  And talking about screen space, the one who shared his "face" with Pasupathy/Napoleon's in the main promo still, he even went a bit further and let Pasupathy's character dominate him in MX.
  
  P.S: I still diss it for obvious reasons which have nothing to do with what i perceive about its "quality"

If you are in to meaningful movies and haven't watched this one, should give it a try. (I agree with Iranian movies, not sure about the Chinese ones. Most of the movies that get marketed out West are historical one like Crouching Tiger, Hero etc. )

You are welcome to hold Dasa over your head and celebrate but your rights end when it crosses the limit and mocks my right to say what I think of Dasa. As for me, Dasa is a major embarrassment, not only for Kamal's fans but also for Tamil cinema AND most certainly for Kamal himself. It's devastating that at this ripe age of maturity, Kamal has to present such an amateurish attempt. Even if I want to stop commenting about Dasa, ppl here just won't let me. i dint comment on ur take on dasa i just commented on ur post that just one film dasa(which u consider as dumb) will make a maamedhai(again u have mentioned this") to a normal mortal. this is what i called as "chumma eludhanumenu eludhunadhu" so according to ur theory balachander is a waste director going by his latest movies...its just an analogy.

  I bought dasa original VCD..No subtitles I wanted to introduce dasa to my non-tamil speaking friends, but it seems that lotus *ssholes are not bothered about their revenue...What an ambitious company!!All the hindi movies released here comes with english and malay subtitles..Why is it so difficult to include subtitles for a tamil movie?? At least pyramid saimira made an effort to include malay subtitles for sivaji..But lotus???!!

  If you want subtitles you will have to wait for official DVD by Ayngaran. Not sure if you get them in Malaysia/Singapore.
  
  Ayngaran has smaller subsidiary called Shrutilayam that releases 2-in-1 dvds in U.S/U.K they also don't have subtitles. Then they release offical Ayngaran DVD with subtitles, Dolby, DTS, Special Features etc. this is what happened for VV and Sivaji.

  Jaiganes: You're absolutely correct. But one correction.
  
  Apart from 9 or 10 crores, he still makes 26% of the profit, which will take him 25% of his lifetime project Marudhanayagam. Means, if Aascar made 100 cr as profit andavar will get 26 cr extra apart from sal.. if the said profit is only 50 cr he still gets 12.5 cr extra. So, he needed this movie to get his ball park figure to touch/revive/reconstruct the great movie Marudanayagam, from where he left.

  Wrong!
  8 to 10 Crores-a??? meedhi ellam enna panradhu??
  Base salary + profits = kanisamaana amount....
  (Like hell Aascar can generate this much revenue with others)
  
  The benefits are not just what Aandavar pockets with Dasa. There are "small" things called vyabaram, potential etc etc... adha thaan MARKET nu sonnen...This has an impact on the future..
  Marudhanayagathukku (or for any other film for that matter) panam venumna it doesnt mean he will withdraw all his salary money from his bank and "put it" into Marudh.
  With Dasa, he has created a big market for his future films. He can SELL big now. With Marmayogi, he gets into production (though on a first copy basis) and there's potential revenue for him through Raajkamal. Yeah, its freakin risky and a fall there will hurt. He better be careful here. He is scaling up. So, showing that he has the market is the first step.
  [I understand that you don't want him to go this way in the first place]
  
  And Thalaivar-a NAAMA thuraviya aaga solradhu is something strange

  This topic has been done to death. I never boasted great about the make-up work. If you had seen CLEARLY in the opening credits its given as Prosthetic make-up. Will you move on?. It has been agreed by everybody here and as well as outside.
  
  You jump here and there. Dasa as you claim is not an embarrasment to either kamal or kamal fans or tamil cinema is what I said. Now why do you talk about world cinema here?.
  
  P.S: 1) I myself and many others find the screenplay of Dasa to be extremely good.
  2) The effort (Right from scripting, acting, research, technical aspects,) is overwhelming for an INDIAN Movie.
  3) NO OTHER ACTOR (yes, read clearly no other actor, living, dead or in a state of coma would dare to do this movie and couldhave done half the justice of what kamal has done. PERIOD.)

With Dasa, he has created a big market for his future films. He can SELL big now. With Marmayogi, he gets into production (though on a first copy basis) and there's potential revenue for him through Raajkamal. Yeah, its freakin risky and a fall there will hurt. He better be careful here. He is scaling up. So, showing that he has the market is the first step.

Regarding the other points you have raised, ennatha solradhu.. looks like we are going around in circles.. And "Veyyil", "Pithamagan" - Come on !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Veyyil!!!!! It seems that you are only concerned with the size and budget and not necessarily the quality. adhu ku thaan ungalukku neraya options irukke India la. And i don't understand the logic of this 34 vs 54 thing... why should physical fitness come in the way of him giving 'your' kind of cinema? It should be the other way round right? Above all, i totally disagree with your notion that big is evil or maintaining that only small=quality. IMO, Dasa is not as low as where you place it. So, we disagree even on that fundamental premise

  
  
  Oru vishayam - I mentioned films in an order to say that they are offbeat - quality pathi naan sollave illai - qualitynnaa shankar also gives the same masala story with the best technical quality most of the times it is entertaining too.
  
  34-54 is just a pointer to age and time and not a signal like 'end is near' or something. I am just saying 30 years have already been spent in fighting - now when you have the reach and control over the market - why keep to the HERO avatar and lose opportunities to make small gems that can be made with a fraction of the investment, yet multiple times the impact. Without beating about the bush much farther - I say he must generate atleast one arthouse gem a year and get it released too . Again - who am I to ask of him - just another fan - probably a different one - but an admirer nevertheless. This one movie a year shall retain its place among his early day classics and shine - standing as a symbol of our creativity. Thats my wishlist - Dasa or no Dasa - this is what I would love to see.

This one movie a year shall retain its place among his early day classics and shine - standing as a symbol of our creativity. Thats my wishlist - Dasa or no Dasa - this is what I would love to see. Let's see what he does after Marmayogi Oru kostin: Assuming Marmayogi fetches the desired results and he is in a position to revive Marudh, would you be happy or would you rather that he did something smaller instead, as he has already spent many years in doing two big films?

  
  
  I had earlier given the link to Marudhanayagam's wikipedia link in another thread. That life needs to be told - told in a very effective manner - Probably a blend of Ray's 'Shatranj Ki Khiladi' and Nihalani's 'Junoon' fashion. If he is gonna try to make it in Hollywood style - I am not sure of the results.
  I definitely want him to make marudhanayagam - it is an awesome story - a colourful character and the cast he assembled then was an ensemble to reckon with - Om Puri, Naseer, Nasser (my dream of seeing them together in one movie), Pasupathi etc., Offcourse would feel damn happy and on cloud 9 with Raaja scoring music.
  I am not saying net and net - that big movies should not be made - it is just that they require a degree of professionalism that a whole cine industry has to scale up to - Case in point - the tsunami scene - If you roll up the end credits of hollywood movies - you would see quite a lot of indian names in the effects section - however when aaskar ravi outsourced it, no matter what efforts kamal(s) put in while acting/shooting the end output was definitely not praiseworthy! So big movies have som many entrapments that affect the overall impact of the movie - Till that time, Kamal has to trust only himself and offcourse his collaborators like Nasser, Thiru etc to bring out the best for a project like Marudhanayagam and this would mean that he can start Marudhanayagam even now - just scaled down intelligently without affecting the soul of the movie and get it made.

  Later? For a man who lives his Cinema - there is only NOW.
  truly - it is irritating to see Amir Khan do Taare Zameen par and Kamal not doing something like that. Even Anbe Sivam could have been done at a smaller scale if that is the spirit. dont get me wrong - there can be many directors and writers like Kamal - but they cannot act - the Three in one called Kamal -is very unique and that is where 34- 54 comes into picture - when he can sell a movie -by starring in an offbeat one and raise the quality level - why should he hesitate to do it later?

  Jaiganes,
  I feel you're giving undue weight to -- for lack of a better word -- genres here. No genre -- and I'd include films set in a "realistic" milieu etc. too when I say that -- is inherently good. Great films like 'avaL appadith thAn' were not the norm of their times. (I'd go on to say such films have all been freaky occurrences. Some special alignment of stars, if you will. But, let me not digress.) Such films were made amidst a horde of mediocre films. It's just that we don't remember, well, the forgettable films.
  I'm positive that 'marmayogi' would be much more close to Kamal's signature style than a film like 'uNarchchigaL'! (I must admit that I've not watched the latter, but I think it would have been much more a RC Sakthi film than Kamal's.)
  
  And, I think you're overrating Kamal's art-meets-box-office power too. The way I see it, Kamal has not managed to bridge the overwhelming gap between "his kind" of films and the larger audience's approval that well; unlike someone like Mani Ratnam who's been able to successfully buy the larger audience and make them want to watch what he wants to make; make them come to appreciate his very signature style. (Of course, Mani Ratnam's "hit" rate has gone down significantly too, but you get the drift.)

  eq.
  I am not overrating Kamal's bo power - I am just implying that when he sets out to create a masterpiece on a grander scale with his earnings from commercial movie success, he need not do that and he can create freaky movies like aval Appadiththaan. Because the Iranians, Chinese and damn it even the filipino film makers are consistently making such freaky movies - it is now our time to make it and kamal is probably the right person to make it as the rest of the film world is absolutely stuck in a creative rut - including Mani Ratnam - whose success rate is not the issue - his creative powers have greatly reduced thanks to Anil Ambani and Abhishek Bachan association
  
  

• From: equanimus on Wed Aug 13 15:50:36 2008.

  I'd like to stay away from pondering on why Tamil filmmakers aren't making the kind of films that Iranian or Chinese filmmakers are making. Frankly, I am not even able to imagine "those kind" of films being made here at first place, for multiple reasons. Also, I don't exclusively look up to Kamal Haasan (much as I love him as a filmmaker) as the sole saviour who's out there to churn out classics one after another.
  As a film-watcher, I'm familiar with the kind of films Kamal has made, and, I must say, I'm able to see what he's trying to do. To my mind, Kamal's filmmaking canvas is usually big, his films often evoke an epic-like mood in terms of their structure, and, stylistically, do exhibit a sort of "grandeur." That's why I don't understand what someone means when they want Kamal Haasan to "go back" ("to the basics," some critics add) and make a film like 'mUnRAm piRai'. Honestly, I've no clue.
  And, my point about Mani Ratnam wasn't per se about the quality of his films or lack thereof, but rather about how he's managed to make the audience look out for and appreciate his style; mainstream-ise his artistic signature, whether it's good, ordinary or bad. That's why we hear everyone specifically talk about the portrayal of love, domestic relationships in his films, and so on. I think Kamal has got that kind of mainstream approval only with his comedies.

  I'm not sure if "You are overrating Kamal's art-meets-BO power" is accurate (compared to Mani Sir) in this context.
  
  Have people shunned the movies where Kamal's "signature style" is exhibited? Kamal comedies don't fit the art-meets-BO tab?
  
  The there is this question of how much of "art" exists versus "BO" in the art-meets-BO equation in each maker's case...
  
  Plus, as you yourself have said, Aandavar's canvas is so wide that its difficult to single out what his "signature style" is. Even Dasa is his style ("Kamal padam naale edhavadhu vidhyasam irukkum. 'Risk' eduthu panniruppaan" etc)
  
  

• From: equanimus on Wed Aug 13 16:19:22 2008.

  No, Bala, I didn't mean it that way. Perhaps, I should have put it more clearly. I'm not saying Kamal's films with artistic ambitions have not met with box-office success, but that these two attributes (artistic ambition and the box-office success) often seem quite fractured (to me, at least). A Mani Ratnam film, more often than not, finds popular reception precisely for what it tries to be. Whereas the filmmaker Kamal often simply rides on the box-office clout of Kamal the star. I'm sure you'd agree that a film like 'guNA' made enough money to be called a commercial success primarily because of the star actor Kamal, not because of what it was trying to be.
  Since I'm talking about popular reception/perception anyway, let's look at how high Mani Ratnam (or filmmakers like Bharathiraja or K.B., for that matter) is rated as a filmmaker by the majority Tamil film audience. But, Kamal the filmmaker often gets more backhanded compliments in comparison. I'm not sure if you've heard people talk about Kamal "lacking the director's touch" or "the finer aspects of storytelling," when comparing him to these filmmakers.

  Oh, if we're going to make a direct comparison, it's a no-contest, isn't it? A star-actor clearly belongs to a different league. I was observing the "successes" of these films in a relative manner. And, as I've clarified in my previous post, I wasn't referring to the actual BO strike rate (Mani's films have been flopping quite regularly too, for quite a while now), but more of an overall popular reception for these two filmmakers and their films. I think I didn't put it across coherently.
  

  crajkumar_be wrote:

  Okay, these questions would help me bring out my viewpoint in a coherent manner. No, "people" (whoever that refers to!) haven't (always) shunned the movies with Kamal's signature style, but "they" don't seem to be so taken with his style as they've been with, say, Mani Ratnam's or Bharathiraja's at different points of time.
  

  crajkumar_be wrote:

  No, no, they do! That's exactly what I was saying about them. When it comes to comedies, everyone wants to watch what Kamal wants to do and does so bloody well. (Again, this is one of the standard backhanded compliments that he gets -- that he's "excellent at comedies but makes pretentious stuff when it comes to serious films." Don't tell me you've not heard this! )

  Oh, I completely agree. Of course, "edhavadhu vidhyasam irukkum. 'Risk' eduthu panniruppaan" is easily the most widely recognized signature style of Kamal. And, also the most widely put forth and accepted "reason" for the failure of some of his "experiments."

  With Dasavatharam Kamal Haasan has come back with a good venture and this time the commercial aspect has been very high. The presence of Mallika Sherawat and Asin made up for the glamour quotient though there was nothing raunchy about them. The ten roles of Kamal played a crucial role in the success of the film.

You are welcome to hold Dasa over your head and celebrate but your rights end when it crosses the limit and mocks my right to say what I think of Dasa. As for me, Dasa is a major embarrassment, not only for Kamal's fans but also for Tamil cinema AND most certainly for Kamal himself. It's devastating that at this ripe age of maturity, Kamal has to present such an amateurish attempt. Even if I want to stop commenting about Dasa, ppl here just won't let me.

  
  
  I feel this is a bit harsh on Kamal and DASA.. Do you think the people will be making a movie such a Mega hit, if it is a sub-standard product.. It has some very big Plus points and some negative points as well..

  Well Tamil Cinema is definitely going world class, but not India Today. They have proved that they are one more magazine publishing rubbish and garbage and trying to make money. Look at 10A - Starring Ajith (infact all movies have Ajith picture on it - what are they trying to communicate)

  grand special effects should be involved only in 1 or 2 scenes and should be made as the highlight of the movie.dasa involved special effects in most of the scenes..so there is a bugget issue when it comes to spending on the two important scenes for graphics-tsunami and nambi scenes
  
  they could have just avoided many kamals on single frame moving around and all those technically difficult stuff and kept it simple.
  
  the could have used those amount for the tsunami and initial scenes.
  
  with kamals acting itself being grand no need for the special effects in the multiple roles senes...they should have planned it.

  Nov,
  
  Glad you asked this Q. If there is one thing that I really enjoyed about 10A that's Kamal's acting (even with bad makeup for some of the characters notwithsatnding).
  In terms of acting performance, following would be my rating of 10 avatars :
  Paati > Boovaragan > Naidu > Bush > Govind > Fletcher > Japanese Guy > Nambi > Kalifullah > Avtar singh

• From: Kumar on Fri Aug 15 4:26:37 2008.

  Krishnaveni Paati was pretty hilarious. I think she had some really good lines (the swollen mobile phone) and Kamal played her really well. The way she talked without care, like wanting to go to the toilet in the middle of a car chase, or addressing Lord Perumal by snapping her fingers, made her all the more liekable.
  
  There was a hidden (or obvious) message in her cradling Vincent's dead body- she finally finds closure to her real son's departure by decalring Vincent to be her own, though this earns the disapproval of some of her kin. I suppose the message here is that while 'normal' people still seek to put up barriers through class and caste, it took a demented old woman to break the barriers down with this one action.

  Still it is doing good business here after 65 days. Most of them are family audience and repeat audience.
  
  Kids(6-10) years are explaining the movie to their parents.
  
  
  In week days also it is doing good business in evening and Night show in two theatres.

• From: aditya_sub on Sun Aug 17 7:58:09 2008.

  Saw the movie at Sakthi Abirami - yesterday noon. Theatre was 50% full.
  
  Actually I even tried to watch it last sunday, but my plan did'nt work. I told my wife, that we will watch Dasa at Sakthi Abirami, this was last sunday noon. As she has seen it twice, wanting to go to Kuselan. So I hatched a plan and informed her that, let's go to Albert, check the availability status and if tickets not available then let's move on to Annai Abirami, and finally if no other choice let's try for dasa at Sakthi. I planned this because I was so confident that I would not get a ticket for Kuselan on Sunday ( 2nd weekend).
  
  To my surprise, I got the tickets at Albert itself (B row) and the Kuselan was 60% full ( Balcony)
  
  mmmm.
  
  Ana vidala, Yesterday I saw the movie again trying the same trick, this time saying Satyam. Fortunately Saytam was full at Annai.
  
  

• From: aditya_sub on Sun Aug 17 8:03:23 2008.

  It's good to see the movie is still running full at Kanchi. Not sure why the movie was removed at Devi. Still Muniyandi, Kuruvi, Pandi have shows at Devi complex. I was under impression, Dasa was doing extremely well at Devi, next only to Satyam.
  
  Any way, last Sunday afternoon, I just saw the housefull signs at baby Albert too. Not sure, how long this will run at Baby Albert... ethukku nna.... Kuselan... baby Albert thevai padum.

  I saw the first half of this video .
  Agree with Kamal on the way this movie had to be criticised - definitely not fair to treat it on par with hollywood spectacles of similar nature. But on the other hand - his justification of mike westmore's work and trying to justify this saying that critics ignored the earlier day shoddy makeup work (ottu dhaadi and stuff) of tamil movies is hilarious and not becoming of someone like Kamal who has achieved much better results with his own makeup for many of the movies. The point about makeup that stupids like me keep cribbing is not the rubber here or there - it is just that the effort has rendered almost faceless characters with whom it is very very difficult for anyone - let alone critics to connect - probably a generation that has grown up believing characters in anime as real wont have the same problem like me (the 80s generation).

  In Mayjaal for the past 3 days the shows # increased to 4 and same as the Rk's. This is really good ..

  Rajkumar: Aandavar is still getting from him (26% on profit). Also, you should appreciate Oscar for the great belief(off course Aandavar had delivered) and the opportunity given to andvar to show His power in a might way.
  
  P:N: Andavar is not making any movie for the big banners like AVM,Kavithalaya, Madras talkies, Chandamama etc & recently you know about AV's producer too.
  
  So, Andavar might need this kind of good humans(Andvar said it in His Interview too). Oscar is great. I don't care how much he made but he helped andavar in a great way in IMO.

  did you notice how kamal embarassingly says that a whole lot of colour correction was missed - particularly for the kalifulla khan portions that resulted in even more plastic appearance of the character. one can sense a lot of irritation and pent up anger come up with so much of civility. And colour correction is not exactly undoable in chennai kinda graphics. It simply would have delayed the movie by another 2 months - Which aascar didn't want to do and if Kamal would have done it - he would have. This is another reaso why he wants to do Marudhanayagam with a bulk of his money + foreign producers - for they know what work in a film takes time and for what they should wait. It is another example of how we the thamizh film industry are not simply ready to mount lavish multi million Rs projects professionally.

  Jaiganes,
  KSR had said earlier in Madhan's Dasa special on Vijay TV that the color correction and other processing work would have meant a further delay of 9 months(!) and Aascar (rightly so IMO) did not want to wait that much.

  Bala,
  At the end of the day, the bad make-up didn't bother me that much really. So, I'm willing to give it to Kamal on that front.
  IMO, as a chase movie, the film was thoroughly boring. The long chase sequences involving the three major characters -- Govind, Fletcher and Andaal -- tested my patience no end. [Fletcher picks a random human being nearby, points a gun to his/her head; Govind concedes and agrees to give back the vial; but, then, some other thing goes wrong. (Andal shrieks randomly in between.)]
  Having sat through the whole thing, the ending too just didn't work for me. For the kind of contrivance Kamal conceives, there's no payoff whatsoever. I mean, the film doesn't reflect on anything worthwhile about its finale. The feeble note by Govind towards the end when he wonders how this could be called "saving the world," is all but lost in the magnitude of plot contrivance that we're witnessing on screen.

  saw the interview. its nice but not nice as usual. i mean, aandavar spoke right at most times, he didnt speak in arivujeevi mode, his speech was not complex or so bit instead he gave perfect blow to the so called arivujeevis. and this bad makeup issue also cameup in that regard only
  
  bala, yes the makeup was bad for some avatars for some places but he neither justified it or agreed ti as a mistake. instead, he was asking to the arivujeevis why only dasa, why not some yesteryear films where the hero came up with horrible wigs ect.. basically he said this as a reply to arrogant ppls who just came in to bash dasa. if u see the interview u will understand.
  
  kamal is/was too clear..
  
  he took dasa for commercial reasons
  he threwed in some of his rationalist views, added up with chaos and butterfly theory for arivujeevis
  he clearly mentioned in interviews that dasa is meant to break records and make tonnes of money
  and in this interview, he spoke only from general audience point of view and never on his policies, or class film making ect

  I agree with you 100%. Even I was not happy with Aandavar's take/explanation on 10A's makeup! If the makeup is bad then its bad - its as simple as that! Audience will criticize if there is any aspect of a movie that falls short of quality! Though lot of hardwork went in - it doesn't mean that the audience don't have the right to point out the defects!
  
  Aandavar's resort to criticism like - "15 yrs back, Tamil cinema used ottu dadi's on their face and no one crtiicized about it then" - kind of stuff was the last thing that I exepected out of someone like Aandavar!

  Sakala - I don't quite agree with his take on the makeup aspect (especially referring to wig's etc in ther past).
  
  He could have agreed that the makeup was not up to expectations and that was what it meant to be and leave it at that. But needless bashing of ppl who said they didn't like the makeup was not in the right spirit, IMO! Didn't the same ppl (including fans from the opposite camp) lauded Aandavar like anything when he pulled off the likes of Appu, Indian taatha, Shanmughi maami, Nallsivam etc.?

  wasnt the makeup a bit complicated this time?? its not surely as easy as an indian, avvai chanmugi or anbe sivam. the challenge is more here. almost 8 different faces. so u cant say that kamal already has done this for 3 films. also, given that makeup was bad only for some characters only for some time, most of the time it was ok right?

  Sakala - I do agree that the makeup was a LOT MORE complicated than the thaatha or the maami! Also, like you, I paid relatively less attention to the makeup compared to the screenplay! But that's totally besides the point. I'm only pointing out his needless bashing of his critics on the mnakeup front during the interview!

  I understand the context here. He was trying to bash the arivujeevi's here but still keep in mind the same arivujeevi's had lauded his efforts in the past (including MX ). But whatever it is, I just expressed my view on the makeup! Anyways, I enjoyed watching 10A! It's still definitely way above the regular run of the mill Tamil movies!

  Trade Talk:
  The movie has made enough and more profits for the producer and distributors in less than a week of its release.
  
  Public Talk:
  Dasavatharam has sparked a few discussions in the blogsphere about its relevance to Hindu mythology and other interesting comparisons.

  Sakala, so far, I have seen 10A twice! I watched the movie like a week after it's release and the second time couple weeks later. Before watching 10A - I made it a point not to read any reivews! To be honest, I didn't know the plot/screenplay until I went into the theatre. The only thing I knew before hand was little bit of details on the some of the roles (like Fletcher & Naidu) based on hearsay! I admit, I was able to better understand the movie while watching the second time... May be, I could understand the movie even better if I watch it the third time? Is that "by design" from Aandavar & Co.? I liked the movie it was racy/entertaining except for some portions of the second half where the movie detoured/lagged a little bit with the introduction of Kalifullah Khan!

  they will also see it .. when they telecast it in kalaignar TV.
  So yeah - you are right - the net was wide and cleverly spun - a bit too clever from kamal - I thought.
  Anyways - arivujeevi bashing is the most childish thing in this hub.
  Not that I am a arivu jeevi or something - after some sensible viewing of world cinema - I have understood that the best cinema is the one that is sometimes the most minimalistic and if some one like Kamal has to resort to all sorts of gimmicks and suffer poor colour correction and shoddy makeup to taste a blockbuster success from the so called 'paamara podhu janam' - which refuses to become rational - it is definitely not kamal's fault - jananga thirundhave illai - innum thirundhuvaanga enbadharkaana ariguriyum illai. All the Mahanadis, Gunas, ellame 'Vizhaluku iraitha neer' - Dasavai 30 dhadavai paarkum theevira rasigargal kooda Gunavai - 5 murayenum paarkavillai - apparam - avaru padathai theatrele oattinaargal endru solvadhum sappai kattu dhaan.
  Though Kamal might say that I have taken clever potshots at hinduism, religion etc., like the 910 painting in Anbe Sivam, the quality of the painting is still a subject matter for criticism and in the modern blog world everyone has a free right to write what they want.
  As far as MX and digital camera gripe is concerned - it was atleast an experiment and it needs to be welcomed much like shooting in RED camera that is going to happen with MY. First time there will be some glitches and I have not complained about them in the web in the sense of kuzhandhai walking analogy etc., however - therinjey seyappadum thavarugalukku sorry cheppaali anthe!

  btw, kamal uses binocular instead of microscope[which is even not applicable at that place] but looks like thats a camera type binocular where it captures the image and soft zooms to a level of 1000 (?!) btw thalaivarukku tholainokku paarvai athigamgratha maranthudaatheenga avar inga irunthe venus la nadakkurathai paarpar. enna avar than universal hero aache!

  Watching/observing a replicating virus through a pair of binoculars is as good as saying one can reach the moon buying a ticket in Vaigai Express! viral particles are so tiny, especially RNA viruses, one needs an electron microscope to visualize the way, Balram Naidu could manage to see! but, maybe, its just a maybe, the binoculars had Infrared (IRd) facility which could sense even the tiniest amount of heat (which borders on the impossible when it comes to replicating viral particles) - the one thing that seemed to fall in place was the way the viral particles were shown (as seen thru Balramji's binoculars) - both single-stranded and double-stranded RNA (Ribonucleic acid) viruses do look a bit that way - and as Govind says its a Marburg-Ebola viral combination, which is also possible since both are RNA viruses and a RNA-RNA hybridization is very much possible, if the base-base complimentarity can be achieved.
  
  I had earlier mentioned in one of the threads, about what Richard C. Clarke had mentioned in his book "Against all enemies - America's war against Terror" regarding bioweapons - apparently, at the height of the Cold War, both the USA and the former USSR were actively making bioweapons, specifically engineering several strains of Marburg, Ebola viral strains which were supposed to have been destroyed after a treaty was signed to that effect after the collapse of the Soviet Union - but nobody knows if the treaty's agenda was fulfilled and these weapons were completely dismantled/destroyed or not - given that the former Soviet Union had scores of scientists whose families were literally starving and the fact that the collapse brought into action well-organised mafias in Russia and its breakaway nations, anything could have been possible - meaning there is no guanrantee that these nasty weapons have not found their way(s) into the hands of despots in Africa or elsehwhere in exchange for desperately needed money (to feed hungry families of scientists) - in fact, most coincidentally, there was indeed an Ebola outbreak in Africa (Angola ?) immediately after the fall of the Soviet Union - hmmm, anything is possible
  
  Dont know if Kamal has read this book mentioned above, but bioweapons manufacture has been existing since a long time - during the second World War, Ricketssia (a deadly gram-negative bacteria) was used (apparently by the Nazis against the allied forces) - and even through the 1950s,60s, bioweapons manufacture/engineering had been existing
  
  The biggest advantage Kamal has/had in scripting DASA was that as far as bioweapons are concerned, anything is possible - a synthetically manufactured Marburg-Ebola hybrid, yes, very much possible
  
  as for NaCl story, yes that follows logic surprisingly (given the binocular 'googly') - most disinfection treatments involve the use of chlorinated compounds - this is not rocket science I tell you - we all use chlorinated bleach for disinfecting toilets and chlorine is a regular component of swimming pool disinfectants as well - hence the all-familiar smell of chlorine on our skins after a swim in a pool (chlorine on our skins has another effect too - when exposed to sunlight we get darker with chlorine!) - its the chlorine that kills the pathogens/bactgeria and to an extent virus such as influenza virus - but NaCl and Marburg and Ebola ? am not sure about that - the critical factor is not just the NaCl but the concentration - seawater has a NaCl concentration of say a maximum of one molar (a standard unit in chemistry) - will it be enough to kill viral particles ? am not sure, coz, the oceans themselves are an incredible habitat for all kinds of marine viruses which constantly kill/lyse marine bacteria (we call them marine bacteriophages - 'phagy' meaning "to eat") and is a major concern the world over thanks to global warming, which is altering marine life as never before giving rise to all kinds of unknown marine viral outbreaks - thats a different story though
  
  Maybe Kamal being a 'sakalakalavallavan' used a 'sakalakalavalla' pair of binoculars!!
  
  Given that I have seen "Independence day" in which humans 'infect' an alien spaceship's central computer with a computer virus, and a 'Mission Impossible' series in which CDs destroy themselves, and the hero runs atop a roof (over a building thats at least 50-60 floors high!) slanting at 45 degrees, I can almost excuse Kamal for this error!

So the only way (even if it sounds stupid to many) is to show the virus as something that can be seen using a 'special' scope and it was a practical detour - I have no gripes with that. If I can see MI2 with mouths open, I can see this as well.

  i didn't say i loved it. but when i watched it, the end, it had despite its dragging nature - hollywoodukke uriya climax tension is brought and this they dont fail to do in even their worst movies.
  In Dasa too - Kamal brings about this tension despite Aasin and other distractions like stadium - freezer and oh sanam song that prolonged the movie before, the MRTS train - bike chase etc all aimed at that.. creating an holywood action movie style tension ending - so he could have shown the effect of the virus instead of the virus itself - but that would have dragged the movie by a few minutes and in climax even seconds count..

  AS screenplay is fabulous for a story that is cliched and has the age old "double act" formula!

  Quote:

  Indian film more than drama and bling-bling By Jolan Douwes 21-08-2008 Could it be coincidence, while India's nuclear deal with the US hits the headlines, a film on a hunt to find a biological weapon is filling cinemas in southern India? And while the country recovers from two bomb attacks, a film about a terrorist leader is running in the film houses. The imagination of Indian scenario writers goes further than romance, drama and bling-bling. On a day in the middle of the week, a cinema in the southern Indian temple city of Madurai is sold out. The title of the film they have come to see is on a billboard in the entrance in the regional Tamil language: "Dasavatharam" (Ten Characters). Our interpreter has seen the film three times already. He knows all the songs off by heart. Full of pride, he tells us that after the premiere cinemas filled easily for several weeks. 1100 seats, four times a day. The success is mainly down to the actor Kamal Haasan who plays an incredible ten roles. Besides the good guy - he plays an Indian scientist who has developed a biological weapon at NASA in the US which has to be kept out of the hands of terrorists. He also throws himself into the role of the bad guy, a 95-year-old grandmother, a pop star and a hero from the 12th century. Even his metamorphosis into the US President George W Bush is quite convincing - except for the eyes. Eddy Murphy can eat his heart out. What makes the film interesting, besides the storyline and the catchy singing and dancing, is the connection to the news. The hunt for the destructive biological weapon starts in the US and continues in India. It is no coincidence that the film is set in December 2004, because the tsunami provides a dramatic ending; the salty tidal waves, which claim several victims in the south, also deactivate the bomb. "Good isn't it, nature gives and nature takes away," sighs our interpreter, when we get into a motorised rickshaw afterwards. "Ten Characters" is one of more than 850 Indian films produced every year. A large number of them are made in regional languages. The Bollywood productions which travel throughout the world are recorded in Hindi. They do not only do well in the Indian community in the US and Europe. They are also popular in West African countries like Nigeria, not least because they are decent: in the film we saw there was no sex or nakedness for three hours; only a virtuous kiss towards the end. No Defence Minister can deny that news stories are sneaking into Indian films, writes a film historian in The Times of India. Intelligence agencies were the first to point out that the bombings at the end of July bore a striking resemblance to the film "Contrast" which had just started running. In the film, hospitals were targeted just like in reality. The film historian warns that Indian society - which is already a bit edgy- shouldn't speculate too much about a "secret" relationship between crime and fiction. That would only make cinema-goers more paranoid.

  
  

• From: Dasavatharan on Thu Aug 21 11:01:58 2008.

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

  The movie has fiction,surrealism,drama,neo concepts,spirituality,politics(etc)above all intellegence and entertainment.may be its a little too much for ppl like u to comprehend so much in a single shot or cud very well be just jealousy which is understandable.

  Thamizh & others,
  Especially for Tamilians who dont have last names per se, but their father's name masquerading as one, I have seen some switch these around and have <some anglicised name> <first name> as their names. So their *given name* becomes their last name. This way what Americans call them will be the same as what Indians call them....

  Amusing discussion. Majority of the Tamilians use their father's name as their last name. So they almost always introduce themselves with their own name (i.e. first name) or a shortened version of their first name. I have rarely (never) seen a Tamil introduce himself with his father's name. It is just not the same as, say, a Dr. Smith or a Dr. Reddy.
  
  One might nitpick that it's not common to call a co-worker with Dr (i.e. Dr. Govind). But it's not uncommon to use initials Dr.G (sort of a nickname/friendly way).
  
  I doubt Kamal analyzed it so much though

  Actually it is consistent with what happens in reality - Tamils use it differently from Americans. As LLDoss says, Americans will use whatever they are told to use. They won't even try to use last names.

  I have heard this explanation: Hence my emphasis on "GOVIND". It was not the screenwriter who just brought up the 12th century episode. It was the scientist Govind who brought it up during the stadium function.
  
  I never heard an explicit link from Govind other than "To understand how all this started, we have to travel back to the 12th century" towards the beginning....
  
  Even Govind, when he hears Andal saying that God might have caused the Tsunami, only rebuts: "Did he set the Tectonic plates in motion LAKHS of years ago?" He never asks "Did he set the events in motion 8 centuries ago when the statue fell on the sea bed?"
  
  Please dont get me wrong. I think the parallel between Nambi-Govind and Nambi's wife/Andal was a very poignant & poetic one and noticed all the nuances related to it.
  
  Or am I completely wrong here? Is it the screenwriter who is narrating in the very beginning?

  Like I told you before --- Tamils introduce themselves with their own name or a shortened version. Americans will just use that. Some Tamils will have their father's name as their official first name and their name as the official last name. So it doesn't mean that American co-workers/friends will automatically call you by your father's name since it is the official first name.
  
  A person who has no idea who you are (say in a bank) may use your official last name but the ones who know you (co-workers/friends) will use what you tell them.
  
  How do I know? I have experienced it and seen other Tamils experience it.
  
  I am telling what the norm is but you are not agreeing! So be it.

  Labakkudoss, absoolutely superb thots even i had the same kostin before..
  
  its exactly the govind character which says all the stuff. why not he asks himself this kostin and reasons the chaos theory and buttefly effect to himself. he is an non beleiver of god and he is in dire need to convince himself with answers which are scientific and not supernatural. thus its chaos theory and butterfly effect. but it beautifully fits to the screenplay writer kamal too as thoughts wise both of them are almost same...
  
  but i have one kostin. govind being a staunch atheist why tell ill about krishnaveni patti, in the end? she knowingly or unknowingly says that povaraghan is hed son. thats an enlighing thought from screenplaywriter kamal, but that shud actually excite gocind rite?
  
  or, govind does not know about who poovaraghan is all about??

  its understandble that anyone wud try to establish the key players in a story.Govind the scientist has had a extensive conversation with Aandal about God's act of saving the world,and for obvious reason as a person he wud bring out his opinion by contemplating that God did not save Nambi nor he wud have in this case.
  A story teller(Govind here) wud always try to give in more info on his areas of interest that play a major role in th eplot.

  The forgotten hero!
  K.S. Ravikumar
  
  This is not something that happens often. Directors are always considered the people behind movies. They are the ones who reap the maximum accolades or bear the brunt of criticism depending on the quality of their product, unless of course the star of the movie is huge enough to eclipse the director’s contribution. Even in such cases the director does get his fair share of attention. The overpowering presence of Rajnikanth did not prevent Shankar’s directorial abilities from being talked about and rightly so. But Dasavatharam has been a completely different case. You might disagree with this, but there has been widespread opinion that K.S. Ravikumar is the director of Dasavatharam in nothing but name. There have been comments on the internet saying that ‘Ravikumar did a very good job of staying beside and supporting Kamal in the making of Dasavatharam’.
  
  Now, no one can be sure whether the person who posted this comment really meant what he typed or whether it is a case of an opinion being unintelligently put forward. But,
  
  looking beyond that one person who posted the comment there is a realization that too little or nothing has been said about Ravikumar’s contribution to Dasavatharam. True, the film is entirely Kamal’s labor of love, his baby, but Ravikumar had a prominent role in nurturing it. Sadly, his contribution seems to have gone largely unnoticed. The media on the whole has been divided in its opinion on Dasavatharam. Some have seen it as a pioneering attempt by a genius while others have felt that the movie is a technical fest that did not hold much water in its script. Well, those are things that have been debated upon to death, the point here is that almost every kind of critic- exalting, positive, negative and confounding- have chosen to make no mention of K.S. Ravikumar. All the aspects of the movie, good or bad, have been attributed to Kamal. What more, even the work of Brian Jennings (stunts) and Michael Westmore (make up) has been acknowledged, KSR has been overlooked.
  
  Now, if the director had been a lesser known name with a fewer number of hits behind him, the tendency to overlook him would have been acceptable. But KSR isn’t a nobody in Tamil cinema; it wouldn’t be inappropriate to call him one of the most commercially successful directors. No one has a better judgment of the audiences’ pulse as this man does and that is exactly why he was part of the Dasavatharam team. Dasavatharam did not tell a regular commercial story. It is a nearly 3 hour long road chase which tries to explain chaos theory and put across several messages. It is a complex narrative that requires expert handling. Yes, Kamal did write the script, but writing a script is one thing and executing it is another. It is fluent execution of a script at rapid speed that is KSR’s forte and he was bang on for Dasavatharam too. To show concepts such as the chaos theory, randomness, the butterfly effect and biological warfare at levels that even a layman can grasp and enjoy was the biggest challenge of Dasavatharam and KSR was the man who faced it. He made things look simple.
  
  KSR is not a director who is known for his technical finesse or grand picturisation. He is known for his abilities to make the masses happy and he brought that to Dasavatharam. Yes, Dasavatharam is entirely Kamal’s movie but it would be unfair if the contribution of Tamil cinema’s commercial king is overlooked. K.S. Ravikumar directed Dasavatharam and richly deserves recognition from anyone who loves cinema, even if it is belated. We got carried away with Kamal’s genius and forgot to appreciate the director’s skill, let’s do it now. Let’s hear it for KSR who has since moved on to Jaggubhai.

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

  CBO (August 22 to 24)
  
  Tuesday, 26 August , 2008, 15:18
  Last Updated: Tuesday, 26 August , 2008, 19:19
  
  Once again, the weekend was a nightmare for Tamil biggies at CBO. Last week’s number one Satyam has turned out to be the year’s biggest turkey. At Sathyam Cinemas and Inox, the number of shows has been reduced and the film is playing in smaller screens.
  
  At number one is Ram Gopal Varma's horror movie Phoonk, which took a jaw dropping 95 per cent in four Chennai screens. At number two is last week's Bachna Ae Haseeno, which is still going strong.
  
  The Hindi films are above Tamil because of higher ticket rates at multiplexes and better occupancy rate. In the third position is Subramaniapuram and in fourth Dasavatharam, while Satyam has taken a tumble and is in the fifth position

  1. Baladoor:
  The Ravi Teja- Anushka starrer was more of a family entertainer and in contrast to the usual mass roles that Ravi Teja does. The film has not worked out well but then the presence of Anushka and the weekend has helped the movie sit pretty on top. The film sits in position-1 of the toppers' list.
  
  2. Salute:
  The hard work of Vishal and the hot beauty Nayantara has gone in vain with this movie and after the big hype that this movie had created, everyone expected a blockbuster material but ended up receiving a damp squib. The steamy song between the lead pair was the highlight. Yet again, the weekend benefit helped the movie to second the topper. The film sits in position-2 of the toppers' list.
  
  3. Ullasamga Utsahamga:
  A genuine success, the film had two major highlights in the form of some real good music along with songs and the presence of the naturally stunning beauty Sneha Ullal. Touted as another form of 'Tholi Prema', this Karunakaran flick can be watched once. The film sits in position-3 of the toppers' list.
  
  4. Ready:
  The blockbuster hit of this season, the Ram-Genelia starrer has still maintained its collections and the fact that repetitive audience has increased for the film. Good songs, nice comedy and a racy script have helped the movie increase its collections a great deal. The film sits in position-4 of the toppers' list.
  
  5. Kathanayakudu:
  Kamal Haasan with his ten role special came up with excellent performance, the film was directed by K S Ravi Kumar and this has set a new trend in the film making genre. On the lighter side, there are parodies of Kamal's roles that have already gained a lot of marks from the comedians. The film sits in position-5 of the toppers' list.

  about kids in dasa
  

  Quote:

  there are some unnoticed or less noticed things. one such is kids in dasa, 1) the kuttipayyan who pottu koduthufy about paatti's rose milk obession to naidu. i just loved the way he speaks "rose milk tharennu sonna enga koptaalum vanduduvaa, loosu loosu" added to that his funny konday type hairstyle along with spectacles, funny!! in mukundaa song he dresses like krishnan and its funny to see lodr krishna wearing spectacles!! ha ha!!! 2) everyone liked nambi's kid esp when he says "sollidungopaa sollidungoppaa, enakkaaga sollidungopaa" 3) avtar sing's kids had bit more screen time but the focus was not on them, when they were shwn, so its tuf to grasp them. when avtar falls down vomiting blood, one kid calls him sitting nearby, they will be playing funnily in background, when avtar discusses with docter...

  Sadly, even after breaking all box office records, there are people who try their level best to bring down the success of Dasa.

  This year is turning out to be a disastrous one for Kollywood. Big budget movies like Kuselan, Satyam, Bheema, and Kuruvi have left a gaping hole in the pockets of the distributors and theatre owners.
  They paid fancy amounts as Minimum Guarantee (MG) sums for these biggies, including Dasavatharam, which just managed to cover the MG amount.
  Now, a major crisis is brewing as theatres which had paid a huge MG sum for Kuselan are asking for a 70 percent refund.
  At the same time, small films like Subramaniapuram, Anjaathey and medium-budget films like Santosh Subramaniam and Yaaradi Nee Mohini, where the trade hardly paid any MGs, have turned out to be successful at the box-office.

  True I realised this only after the pre release and post release ads for several other flop movies released this year
  Audio release function investment perisaa pannathukku bathilaa advertisement ls concentrate pannu irukalaam
  
  Movies like Sathyam, Dhaam dhoom, etc was having ads before 3 weeks of release and was given ads in all newspapers. The posters of Dasa across the city also too less compared to several other movies
  
  But this is not the first time. Even for V V the ads were minimum and i think it is lesser than even Dasa.
  But for both these the opening was phenomenal and benchmark during their times and both were blockbusters too

  A Nice Article on Dasavatharam.....from Netherlands
  
  http://www.radionetherlands.nl/currentaffairs/region/asiapacific/080821-indian-film
  
  Indian film more than drama and bling-bling
  
  By Jolan Douwes*
  
  21-08-2008
  
  Could it be coincidence, while India's nuclear deal with the US hits the headlines, a film on a hunt to find a biological weapon is filling cinemas in southern India?
  
  And while the country recovers from two bomb attacks, a film about a terrorist leader is running in the film houses. The imagination of Indian scenario writers goes further than romance, drama and bling-bling.
  
  On a day in the middle of the week, a cinema in the southern Indian temple city of Madurai is sold out. The title of the film they have come to see is on a billboard in the entrance in the regional Tamil language: "Dasavatharam" (Ten Characters).
  
  Our interpreter has seen the film three times already. He knows all the songs off by heart. Full of pride, he tells us that after the premiere cinemas filled easily for several weeks. 1100 seats, four times a day.
  The success is mainly down to the actor Kamal Haasan who plays an incredible ten roles. Besides the good guy - he plays an Indian scientist who has developed a biological weapon at NASA in the US which has to be kept out of the hands of terrorists.
  
  He also throws himself into the role of the bad guy, a 95-year-old grandmother, a pop star and a hero from the 12th century. Even his metamorphosis into the US President George W Bush is quite convincing - except for the eyes. Eddy Murphy can eat his heart out.
  
  What makes the film interesting, besides the storyline and the catchy singing and dancing, is the connection to the news. The hunt for the destructive biological weapon starts in the US and continues in India.
  
  It is no coincidence that the film is set in December 2004, because the tsunami provides a dramatic ending; the salty tidal waves, which claim several victims in the south, also deactivate the bomb.
  "Good isn't it, nature gives and nature takes away,"
  sighs our interpreter, when we get into a motorised rickshaw afterwards.
  
  "Ten Characters" is one of more than 850 Indian films produced every year. A large number of them are made in regional languages. The Bollywood productions which travel throughout the world are recorded in Hindi. They do not only do well in the Indian community in the US and Europe.
  
  They are also popular in West African countries like Nigeria, not least because they are decent: in the film we saw there was no sex or nakedness for three hours; only a virtuous kiss towards the end.
  
  No Defence Minister can deny that news stories are sneaking into Indian films, writes a film historian in The Times of India. Intelligence agencies were the first to point out that the bombings at the end of July bore a striking resemblance to the film "Contract" which had just started running. In the film, hospitals were targeted just like in reality.
  
  The film historian warns that Indian society - which is already a bit edgy- shouldn't speculate too much about a "secret" relationship between crime and fiction.
  
  That would only make cinema-goers more paranoid.

  I am not saying as it is for Kamal movie. If Kamal's movie is an entertainer with action, that movie will definitely have big collections. And imo if he does that(entertainement movies) continously, his opening or collections will be hard to beat. At any point say if Kamal + Shankar combines then there would be lot more who can invest such a big amount. There is no doubt on that. since Kamal's name is on the creative side people would be hesitant on investing on such a big amount. That is what my point is

  aascar never played the good role of "dasavatharam producer" all he did was the usual stuff which "distributor aascar" does...
  
  1) re-releases
  2) daily thanthi ads with statements like
  thamiz cinema paarkaatha cinema,
  penkalai kavarum kalacharathudan oru padam, ulagam viyakkum oru thamiz padam, ect
  
  what he didnt do is, an astounding publicity, an indication of its real BO status, clear announcements of dates, like hindi version, coming up with a presmeet, mega ads with proper theatre updates allover TN, or India ect,

  1. I dont really understand. Did he not spend for the audio release? IMO, a simple function to celebrate the success of the movie or a press meet to publicise the collections would shut the mouths of NI media. i hope it happens soon.
  
  2. The 80th Day posters uploaded by SKV and AF show that Dasavatharam is running in around 10 theatres in Chennai and at least 1 theatre each in all other B and C centres. As per NOV, it is still playing at 1 theatre in Malaysia. AFAIK Alavandhan, Anbe Sivam, PKS, Panchathantiram ran 100 days in just 1 theatre in Chennai. I dont know the number of centres where superhits Thenaali and Indhian crossed 100 days. This is why I asked if Dasa is setting any new record.

How many theatres worldwide are still showing the movie? Has it broken this record too? (AFAIK, Indian ran 100 days in a record number of theatres. Does anyone know how many?) 3. Is Aandavar sporting the same look(with the long beard) even now? Is it the only 'getup' in Marmayogi?

Gone are those days and times like "800 days record", "1 year record", "Silver jubilee" etc. Recordwise Dasa has already acheived what other movies will find it hard to even think about. But anyways, you have to resort to this kind of statements. Enzoy!!!

  Well, I am not worried or going to worry if it does not cross 100 days in so many centres and create a record as i know that is not possible for any movie with decent crowd.
  
  We all know when it was running extremely good in Sathyam theater was shifted to smaller seater in the same theater for new movies. Similiarly in Devi when it was running housefull for few shows in the before week end, it was removed the next week end for other movies. This happened at the end of 10th week end. No one cared to even run in the smaller screen or at least for a single show. Devi theater made huge amount of money already and they were trying their luck with other movies. Or not someone is pressurising in at least showing one show like the way Kuruvi being screened in Devi complex. Like that many other cases. With all probablity Kuruvi, Yaaradi Nee mohini going to complete 175 days in Chennai. Dasa will not. And that does not prove anything on the Box office collections.

  The ten-faced Kamal Hassan’s Dasavatharam has established that a neat and crisp screenplay is completely possible with a truck load of roles and actors.
  
  Trade Talk:
  The blockbuster has earned the trade returns in tenfold.

  Marma Yogi, all the way.
  
  No. Weeks Completed: 12

  this link shows 3 theaters where dasa re-released, natraj, ajantha and chowdeswari, but in fact, its re-released also in Srinivasa theatre, bit near my residence. I went for 5 o clock show and the crowd was 25% on a 1st day of week the little crowd enjoyed well the balram naidu scenes.
  
  i also saw some crowd worth 10% occupancy rate, for the 8 o clock show, inspite of the modereate downpour which was continious for more than hour... mmm, well if this is just the case for a monday, that too in a theatre at some corner of bangalore, just imagine for weekend, i guess surely this guy will run till 100 days! ticket rate is 25 and 50. sound quality was better at some places and bad at some places. overall, its ok. the film had lots of scratches which showed ub a bit bad, some times....
  
  IAM VERY VERY HAPPY
  
  i remember an answer from aandavaar, for a question - oru padam veri pera ennenna vishayangal irukkavendum?
  
  out of many points he said, i remember this one - makkalai arangukku varavazaikkum amsangal kondathaaga irukka vendum.
  
  well, it shows, that he, eventho verywell knew waht the masses may like, he still experimented. and when he wanted to realise this 10 role dream, he clearly camedown his level and entertained them to the core, and now it is worinng wonders, for other films, this is 'untouchable' wonder
  
  not all audience were tamils, the whistles which came when narasimma rao says "i am kannadiga" told me that.

  Well, there are several kinds of records.
  
  
  These 100-day run and 175-run are classical way of seeing the success of a movie!
  
  Some do not care about this anymore. Some still do care. I find in Hyderabad, unlike in TN, bo blockbusters movies do run very long as well!
  
  It is true, it does not mean much if the movie is released like 10A and other big movies.

  I disagree. In that case that did not happen for some rajni movies. There has to be repeat audience to run a movie for long (at least 100 days or 175 days).
  
  I belevee if Chinna thambi, Karakaattakaran were capable of getting repeat audience for sure! Even rajni's big hits could not do what CT and Kn did.

  Repeat Audience 100 days ok. 175 days um..some what ok... 365 days. and so on..for this movie ..because theatre owners own production and they have the guts ability to drag on. That's about CM. However, I accept it's BB.

  Well said Vivasaayi....
  
  We are living in the age where the Movies are available online right from the first week of its release. More over they become available unofficially in pirated VCDs around the same period and officially on VCDs and DVDs and Clippings on all satellite channels.
  Not to mention the Cable where its telecasted soon.
  
  Its like having the cake and also wanting to eat it. You can either release the movie with more number of prints, take risk and wreap the benfits before all those (VCD/DVD/Cable/Online) factors play a role OR Release few prints and police all the Factors and run the movie for long run.
  
  Additionally if you want to run your movie and add a so called record to your production company, Take a theater for lease or own a theater and run the movie for 100 days, 175 days or 800 days.
  
  But as already posted in the forum, Public are no longer fools, they cannot be cheated, they know the difference now and such a fabricated run will not have any effect in future.

  I can understand why the actors want to run their movies for 175 days and so on. However I don't understand how they can afford to do it for flop movies.
  
  If a movie is a hit, ok, they can use their profit to keep it in theatres longer. But how do they do it for flop movies? Is the expense of running a single show for 50 days / 100 days beyond its profitable run that low?

  comments,
  
  the running thing is done mostly by actors, and rarely some producers. and also note that they do it only at very less no of screens, like say 1 or 2screens and maybe only for few shows like afternoon or morning show! it will actually cost less for them when compared to their salary nowadays modenr tekniks are used...a recent paravai film was forced to run 50 days in TN, if violating, the theatre's license will be cancelled
  
  but one shud note that kamal and his producers are the odd ppl out by not doing these cheap thingi. thatswhy even their hit movies like virumaandi vasoolraja ect are not made to 'extra'run. their runs were purely natural ones. even for VV it was just 100 days,
  
  also, this concept of running a movie for ling days is over. 100 days is enuf for even blockbusers like dasa[actually dasa's victory flow is disturbed in middle ]

  Trade Talk:
  There are still houseful shows reported.
  
  Public Talk:
  Dasavatharam is walking tall briskly towards the 100th day.
  
  No. Weeks Completed: 13
  No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 33
  Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 32 %
  Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 1,53,271
  Total collections in Chennai by end of the fourteenth weekend: Rs. 10.88 Crore

  கமலின் நாகர்கோவில் வாத்தியார்
  
  கமல்ஹாசனின் `தசாவதாரம்' படத்தில் கமல் நடித்த பத்து வேடங்களில் ரசிகர்கள் மனதில் பசையாக ஒட்டிக்கொண்ட ஒரு கேரக்டர் தலித்தாக வரும் பூவராகன் கேரக்டர். பச்சையாக தெறித்து விழுந்த நாகர்கோவில் வட்டார பேச்சுமொழி ரசிகர்களைவெகு வாகக் கவர்ந்தது.
  
  கமலுக்கு நாகர்கோவில் தமிழைச் சொல்லித் தந்தவர் நாகர்கோவிலை அடுத்த கணபதிபுரத்தைச் சேர்ந்த வில்லுப் பாட்டுக் கலைஞரான ராஜகுமாரன்.
  
  ``இவரைப் படத்துல பார்த்தது போலருக்கே..'' என்று கேட்டால்.. ``ஆமாம்ணே நானும் தசாவதாரத்துல நடிச்சிருக்கேன். பூவராகன் கேரக்டர் கூடால வருவேன்.'' என முகம் முழுக்க மகிழ்ச்சியுடன் சொல்கிறார்.
  
  ``டிப்ளமோ படிச்சுட்டு மும்பையில வேலை பார்த்துட்டிருந்தேன். வேலை பார்த்தாலும் வில்லுப்பாட்டு பாடுறதுன்னா நமக்குப் புடிச்ச விஷயம். பொறவு வேலை வேண்டாம்னுட்டு இங்கே வந்து கோவில் திருவிழாக்கள்ல வில்லுப்பாட்டு பாடிட்டிருந்தேன். கமல்ஹாசனோட தசாவதாரத்துல வர்ற பூவராகன் கேரக்டர் நாகர்கோவில் தமிழ் பேசி நடிச்சா நல்லாருக்கும்னு நினைச்சி அசிஸ்டண்ட் ஆர்ட் டைரக்டர் சிவராம்கிட்டே சொல்லிருக்காங்க.. கமலுக்கு நாகர்கோவில் தமிழ் சொல்லிக்கொடுக்கிறதுக்காக சிவராம் இங்கே வந்து நான் உட்பட பத்துக்கு மேற்பட்ட வில்லுப்பாட்டு, நாடகக் கலைஞர்களைப் பேசச் சொல்லி வீடியோ எடுத்துக்கிட்டு போனாங்க.. அப்புறம் என்னை செலக்ட் செய்து சென்னைக்கு வரச் சொன்னாங்க.. கமலஹாசனை படத்துலதான் பாத்திருக்கேன். நேரில் பாத்ததும் எனக்கு கையும் ஓடல.. காலும் ஓடல. என்னைத் தோளில் தட்டிக்கொடுத்து, `உங்க ஊருல எப்படி பேசுவியளோ அப்படி பேசுங்க. சுத்தமா எனக்கு நாகர்கோவில் தமிழ் வரணும். எந்தத் தப்பு வந்தாலும் திருத்திக்கிடுங்க. எந்த இலக்கண சுத்தமும் இருக்கப்பிடாது' என்று சொன்னார். மொதல்ல பயந்து பயந்துதான் சொல்லிக் கொடுத்தேன். ``மக்ளே, மோனே, புள்ளே, லேய்,'' போல உள்ள நாகர்கோவில் வட்டார தமிழ்ப் பேச்சுகளை எளிதில் புரிந்து கொண்டு பேசிவிடுவார். எதையும் ஒரு தடவை சொன்னா போதும். அவர் உடனே புரிஞ்சுகிட்டு வெளுத்து வாங்கிடுவார். நான் தமிழ் சொல்லிக்கொடுக்கத்தான் போனேன். அப்புறம் என் மீது இம்ப்ரஸ் ஆகி அவர்கூட வசனம் பேசி நடிக்கிறமாதிரி சீன் வைச்சிட்டாரு. எனக்கு சன்மானமா நல்ல தொகையும் தந்தாங்க..!'' என்று சிலாகித்துச் சொல்கிறார் ராஜகுமாரன்.

  NOV, What you say might be applicable for movies like Get Smart, Kung Fu Panda which where taken off the theatres before 50 days. But for Dasa, the gap was not even 10 days rite. It was just a week back that someone updated the thread saying Dasa is completely removed from Malaysian theatres.
  
  Why did the theatre owners prefer dasa over other recent movies? They might have realised that the ROI from other movies would be < Dasa.
  
  Last yr, Chithiram pesudhadi was removed from the theatres a week after release and then the same theatres played it again later. Appo padam 1 varam dhaan odichunnu solluveengala?

Thesedays if a movie runs(not made to run) 100 days in 1 theatre it is considered a hit. Yen, even if it doesnt complete 100 days but opens well, they call it a hit as the opening collections matter more than the revenue from 50+ days. Dasa opened extraordinarily well(idhu othukareengala?), completed 50 days in several centres and is soon to cross 100 days in more than a dozen theatres.

  What was mentioned at that time was the 14 days collection was very high comparing the movies during that time frame, by Sathyam Manager. In that least span the amount collected was never made by any movie was what the meaning. That does not necessarily be true for overall collection. But Dasa was very good for a long period also. Anyway let us see what comes.

  Part of the problem here is you guys. When other moveis run, 100 days, you guys say it was made to run even if it runs in malaysia and singapore.

  
  
  there is lots of difference. In the recent past some of the movies ran for 100 days and 175 days.
  
  YNM ... 175 days in another few days..
  
  Kuruvi ... towards 175 days.
  
  Paandi, Sandai, Aayutham Seyvoam and there are few more movies i forgot
  
  Do u think these movies deserve these many days run
  
  I live in a town called Arakonam. It is a big town. Under the current condition(several entertainement available, Piratted DVD's, etc) in my opinion no movie can run more than 50 days when released in one theater. That too towards 50th day, the maximum crowd possible is 10-15 % on week days and upto 25% on the week ends. What i was talking is for a town like Arakonam. But there Shivaji ran for 50 days in 2 centres. Exactly after 50 days, one theater removed. Any in other theater it ran for exact 100 days. In between my dad saw it some where in 5th week. He mentioned there were not even 40 members. In between naan kooda oru 3 times poi check pannathundu. Ticket issue panra samayathula 10 paer kooda irukka maatanga (weekends). Those were well within 50 days.
  There is nothing to take away from Shivaji's success. It was huge.(I know u wont say this as a sweeping statement). What for this 50 days run in 2 theaters and 100 days run , that too in a town like Arakonam. I did not mention these things before in the hub. Antha town la irukarathae 4 theater thaan. Athulayum 1 theater town limit thaandi romba thooram. Ithellaam saathanai nnu sollalaam. Ennai poruthavaraikkum ithellaam vaethanai. Simliar thing happened for Kuruvi.. 2 theater release. 2 theater layum almost 25 days and in one theater more than 40 days. Not sure whether it touched 50. No need to mention about the response for Kuruvi from Vijay fans itself. Intha maathiri movies theaters la record kaaga block pannurathaala thaan niraya movies kku towns la theater kidaikaama thiruttu DVD's increase aaga oru kaaranamaa irukkungaratha ennoada karuthu. There would be definitely lot more towns where these kind of things occur.
  Just for social awareness nothing else. If some positive discussion happens on a movie's run as a result of my post, i would be happy.

  I was saying only for towns like Arakonam. Shivaji definitely deserved 100 day run in Chennai City for sure as i was in chennai also and i knew. For that matter it deserved 100 day run in a multiplex like Sathyam. Taking just before 3 days could be internal matters I would say under current condition in Chennai City a big hit movie can run for 20 shows overall at most considering the big release also these days in cities along with other situations. I dont have any issues for Shivaji's run in chennai City as it made huge money and i dont know in how many theaters and shows shivaji ran

  Dasavatharam- 100 days of celebrating 10 Kamals
  - By Behindwoods News Bureau
  There is a famous quote, ‘Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well’. Another quote goes, ‘Don’t wait for extraordinary opportunities, seize common occasions and make them extraordinary. Weak men wait for opportunities, strong men make them’.
  
  Which idea came first, the idea of 10 avatars or that of the man and the vial? Something like the chicken or the egg question, something only Kamal Haasan can answer. Look at it anyway, the Dasavatharam idea did not happen in a hurry, just like Rome was not built in a day. Initially there must have been just a spark which could have been that of man and the vial or that of 10 roles. But the spark was not let to flicker away, it was fanned till it was a flame.
  
  All of us have these kinds of wild dreams and thoughts, but we tend to dismiss them as just wishful thoughts of an ambitious mind or shrink away at the thought of the enormity of the task of realizing the dream. It is those who believe in their dreams and are prepared to dedicate themselves to it that make history. Kamal Haasan, for all his achievements and reputation must have had his share
  of detractors when he went with his dream. Why, even now there are people who doubt the quality of Dasavatharam, but let’s not talk about that. But more than detractors Kamal chose to look only at the people who believed in his belief of his dream. He made the opportunity, seized it and used it in the most extraordinary way possible
  
  They say ‘Opportunity knocks only once’. But Kamal seems to think different, waiting for the knock is waste of time, go out and find the opportunity, the world is full of them. Today, the realization of that dream and opportunity completes 100 days in theaters. But 100 is just a number, a number that many movies have touched before and will do so after. But 10 is not just another number, only one man has done it and we doubt whether anyone else will.
  
  Sathyam, INox, Abhirami, Mayajaal and other leading theaters proudly project the movie on its 100th day. Let’s not look at any more numbers, that’s for the business side to check out and they are mighty happy. Meanwhile, let’s once again applaud the man who made the opportunity of a lifetime and the team that stood with him. Incidentally, another opportunity seems to have been discovered and it is named Marmayogi.

  Kamal Hassan’s unique feat!
  Kamal Hassan's Dasavatharam celebrated its 100 days run today (Sep 20) in four Chennai screens. The film released on June 13, 2008 and celebrated 100 days on September 20, 2008.
  
  Believe it or not Kamal Hasan's Kannada film Kokila released 28 years back on June 13, 1980 and celebrated 100 days of its run at Emerald (now defunct, was a theatre in the Safire theatre complex on Mount Road) on September 20, 1980!
  
  Says R.G.V Rao, who distributed Kokila in Chennai and holds the negative rights of the film: "I have here with attached a press ad., released by me way back on 20th Sept., 1980, now on the same day Kamal Haasan's latest block buster Dasavatharam is also completing its hundredth day. It's a rare unique once in a lifetime happening."
  
  Rao has distributed many Kamal Haasan films and was also school mate of the actor in Hindu High School Triplicane, in Chennai.

  So, you are saying in ArokkOnam shivaji was made to run for100 days. I never visited that theatre on 50th day or100th day orin between.
  
  So, I agree that may be the case there.
  
  They may have run that movie to set a record despite the fact that it made them lose their profit a bit by doing so.
  
  Let me ask you this.
  
  Are you saying in Sathyam complex (studio or 6 degrees), dasavatharam ran with more 50% occupancy until 100th day and they removed just on 101 day????
  
  Why should they remove it on weekend of 101st day??
  
  I dont see why should they do it unless it had only few audience.
  
  I can say, it was made to run too in sathyam complex TO SET a 100-day RECORD! That is why it just disappears (even one show) during the weekend as soon as it set the record of 100 days.
  
  I know,you are going to say,when it comes to dasa it deserves or of that sort!
  
  Well,

  Are you saying in Sathyam complex (studio or 6 degrees), dasavatharam ran with more 50% occupancy until 100th day and they removed just on 101 day???? Why should they remove it on weekend of 101st day?? I dont see why should they do it unless it had only few audience. I can say, it was made to run too in sathyam complex TO SET a 100-day RECORD! That is why it just disappears (even one show) during the weekend as soon as it set the record of 100 days.

  
  
  Let me tell you few things.
  
  1. The movie had housefull shows on 44 and 45 th day and almost housefull shows on 43 rd day (I saw the movie) in Sathyam Main theater itself. The next week (51st day or so) it was moved to serene i think. it is not because it had only few members in the theater. But for bringing another big movie and try their luck. You know which movie. Here some hubbers itself posted links of good booking even at 10th week ends i suppose.
  2. The same is case with few more theaters. Egs. like Thiruvanmiyure Thyagaraja.
  3. In devi a week end before they removed it had more than 80% crowd. Somewhere around 70th day i think. They did move it to smaller theaters as no one was forcing the movie to run for even a single show.
  4. In Udhayam complex too, before it moved to smaller screens, it had 70% crowds in the week end.
  
  and the list would go on. The listed ones i knew for sure.
  I am sure in Sathyam complex, before the start of the show they would definitely had 50% + on the week ends. Definitely not like only few persons and runniing it as u say. In sathyam, there are many movies just while releasing itself have only 1 show. Sathyam complex is totally different from other theaters. This is the only theater in the city where all major English, Tamil and Hindi movies being released from 1 show to many. They had already collected a huge sum from Dasa and they would have wanted to try with other movies to keep their intended audience.
  
  However i had seen in the Sathyam Cinemas ad and it is running there still

  dasa has created one more record in re-releasing. in recent years, no films was re-released in this many theatres, as soon as removing from original theatres. even in bangalore its running minimum 4 to 5 theatres in re-releasing strategy. almost all areas are getting covered, one after another, in this way. whole of TN has many moffussel and sub-urban theatres still running dasa.
  
  Oscar is doing a
  good job in re-release and a
  bad job in not publicising the current theatres in daily-ads,
  and a very bad job in not coming up open about hindi release, victory celebration ect

  Nope, MC, the 100-day run ads were really good for 10A. I am sure it is done by Ravichandran.
  
  Ravichandran did not do that for any other movie's victory (eg. anniyan or any other movie) recently!

  Kamal Haasan's unique feat!
  
  Kamal Hassan's Dasavatharam released on June 13, 2008 celebrated its 100 days run today (September 20) in four Chennai screens.
  
  Believe it or not Kamal Hasan's Kannada film Kokila released 28 years back on June 13, 1980 celebrated 100 days of its run at Emerald (now defunct, was a theatre in the Safire theatre complex on Mount Road) on September 20, 1980!
  
  Says R.G.V Rao, who distributed Kokila in Chennai and holds the negative rights of the film: "I have here with attached a press ad, released by me way back on 20th Sept 1980, now on the same day Kamal Haasan's latest block buster Dasavatharam is also completing its hundredth day. It's a rare unique once in a lifetime happening."
  
  Rao has distributed many Kamal Haasan films and was also school mate of the actor in Hindu High School Triplicane, in Chennai.

  Hammered by some critics, misunderstood by many fans, but adored by a great deal more, Kamalhassan’s Dasavatharam crossed the 100-day mark last weekend.
  The film has smashed many records and is expected to set a few more before it ends its run.
  In setting a new benchmark for Indian cinema, Dasavatharam explored a range of issues from the chaos theory and global warming to theism versus atheism.
  By a remarkable coincidence, September 20 also marked the 100-day mark for Kamalhassan’s Balu Mahendra, directed Kokila.

  Dasavathaaram now in Hindi 29 Sep, 2008 06:00 am IST INDIATIMES MOVIES This is indeed good news for the Hindi knowing audience. The much talked about Kamal Hasan starrer Tamil film Dasavathaaram , will soon be releasing in Hindi. Starting in the 12th Century AD at the Chidambaram temple complex in South India, the film takes the viewers on a heady roller-coaster ride across time and continents. The master storyteller in an intriguing screenplay weaves the chaos theory and multiple chains of events into one cohesive, thrilling narrative. Spinning the story of Dasavathaaram is as difficult and arduous a task as explaining the 10 different characters played by Dr. Kamal Haasan; yet another one-of-a kind-attempt in world cinema by the thespian. The film, upon release on 13th June, became one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of Tamil cinema, breaking records in India as well as overseas. Domestically the film opened at number one, with collections in Tamil Nadu after the opening weekend was 21 crores, and Chennai alone garnering 3 crores. The film, also released in other parts of India, collected 60 lakhs from outside Tamil Nadu. Let us wait and watch if the film can create the same impact once it is released in Hindi.

• From: Plum on Mon Oct 6 1:54:56 2008.

  Actually, there is one nuance which I wanted to post before but never got around to. It seems to be in the eternal aathigam-naathigam debate, Kamal has done a tight-rope. Result: Across strata, there seems to be a for and a against group. For example, there are vaishnavites who seem to think that Kamal has done a pro-iyengar movie considering the 12th century. I mean, they take it as Kamal talks naathigam but inside, he is a true-blue iyengar . Some other vaishnavites believe he has insulted perumal and brahmins, and iyengars in particular
  through Asin's character.
  Some believe he has insulted Dalits because Bhoovaragan dies - uyar saadhikkaga saavadhu dhaan dalitukku vaippadhu endru kamippadhaga solgirargal.
  Some believe, by creating that honourable character, he has elevated dalits( and as a rider, insulted brahmins. Some say that Nagesh saying Allah saved us is Kamal's endorsement of Islam because when Asin says the same, (in fact, Asin says that Vishnu saved the world( a more encompassing view than god saved US and US alone) ), there is a Kamal character that negates it. Whereas nobody in the movie negates Nagesh's view. Hence Kamal is an islamist is what those people say .
  
  I think, beyond all this, Kamal actually is neither a theist nor atheist. I believe, he wanted to show that everyone will interpret events according to their conviction, including Govind, the scientist, who conveniently and without much backing evidence or theory, invokes Chaos theory. Now, people have ranted saying Chaos theory is not explored correctly in Dasa. I believe that was never the intention. The idea is atheist or theist, everyone first forms their belief and then interprets events accordingly - at the end of the day, these are just coincidences including Avtar singh's miraculous escape - can it happen? One in a 10 million case? Of course, it can! But that would be a miracle according to believers, some scientific explanation according to medical professionals and in reality, mere coincidence and one in a 10 million or one in 10 billion case. I feel coincidence being interpreted according to convenience is a common undercurrent in the movie:
  * Nambi has a sree charanam formed on his head with blood when stone hits him. Vaishnavites interpret that as Vishnu chose to manifest his presence there. Others would say coincidence.
  * The tsunami which is interpreted in various ways as explained before according to each person's belief
  * Avtar Singh - Doctors interpret it according to their science, others say it is a miracle. Depends on your belief. Else, it is just, well, a coincidence. This is very important because why have such a cheesy corny scene in a Kamal movie - everyone knows this is a staple joke on Rajni movies that goes round in SMS-es, so why would Kamal knowingly include it in his movie? My explanation is that he is not so dumb as to include this scene without a reason - the reason is this is yet another vignette of people interpreting coincidences according to their convenience
  (To be continued)

  If Rangarajan is not a fanatic (according 2 u), why can't he just say 'Om Namashivaya'???
  Fanatisicm is visible there...

  Religious = Strictly following your faith/belief without worrying too much about what others believe/follow. (i.e. Rangaraja Nambi)
  
  Fanaticism = Not only strictly following your faith/belief but also forcefully thrusting it on others and even go to the extent of killing others (i.e. Kulothonga chozan II).
  
  So, from that perspective, KC II is the fanatic. Rangarajan Nambi is just a faithful follower of Vaishanavam,IMO!

  I was refering to this within the context of 10A between Nambi & KC II. If KC II goes to the extent of killing someone (for not reciting the name of the god he worships) then that is clearly fanaticism... Nambi didn't try to trust his belief on KC II or others!
  
  I'm not sure what makes you bringing RK/KH fans/fanatics here! To me that's out of context!

  I didn't mean to define what fanticisim is... I was trying to give my perspective on who is the fanatic between KC II & Rangaraja Nambi in the context of 10A.

Yeah, you could argue that Nambi is also a fanatic to an extent that he is not ready to sacrifice his belief at least for the sake of his family...

  What if "following a religion" includes "willfully suffering for the cause"? Your generaisation of 'after all any religion is there...to guide...towards good...not to direct towards misery' does not apply to followers of most religions, as most necessarily "include" suffering for a cause, self-sacrifice etc One of the most widely known case is the 1st century followers of Jesus. (not just one, practically every one of them either suffered in the hands of Jews or Romans). Other well-documented, recent, cases include those who were sent to concentration camps by Hitler and those who were put in jail / labor camps like those in Siberia by communist regimes.

  to answer that from a 'IMO' stand thts the reason i dont follow any religion
  my personal belief is that no relgion is above the ppl around you. if you cant take care of ur own family/ppl around u then well no point in loving ur god/sacrificing ur life/killing others in the name of faith etc etc. i think we are digressing from this topic

  directhit,
  The basics of most religions start with (apart from belief in God) some concept about "what happens after death". That means, there're expectations beyond the max 70-80 years of life (there could be in-between 'ARilum sAvu').
  
  And most are convinced that even if they lose their lives (and in turn let the family suffer for 70-80 years), they'll be compensated enough for 1000's of years by God. So, the logic of "rather focussing on one's welfare in the present-short-life"won't fly there:-)

  இதை தான் நான் கண்மூடித்தனமான நம்பிக்கை (which losely translates to fanaticism) என்று சொல்வேன். கண்முன்னே இருப்பது உங்கள் குடும்பம். கண்முன்னே இல்லாத ஒன்றிற்காக குடும்பத்தை விட்டுக்கொடுப்பது ஒரு சாதாரண விஷயமில்லை. கடவுள் நம்பிக்கையை சாடவில்லை, btw!

  directhit,
  
  Sufficient to say (i.e. without getting too religious as per hub policies) that I'm a strong believer in a creator and convinced that we need his guidance. And I strongly believe in love for fellow humans and so practice non-violence:-)
  
  And this thread may not be the great place to discuss about belief systems anyways:-)

  Of Course not. Let us think in different way.
  
  Let us consider he bowed to KC's order. What could have been in the future.
  1. A leader like RC itself has to bow to King's order means, what abouut the normal people. Vaera vazhiyae kidayaathu, inimae mannan enna sonnaalum kaetu thaan aaganum. IMO KC oada kodumaigal athigamaagi thaan irukkum.
  2. Ivanae kaettutaan, mathavannungalum ippadithaannu, there would be more dangerous orders or so.
  3. Why not, Vaishnavam appadingara oru community ae illaama poi irukalaam. (Let us not go into how come this happen) and lot more disorders we can say. say etc, etc....
  
  Aana ippa poanathu Oru family mattum thaan.
  Rather if a leader succumbed to the pressure then mark my words there wont be any significant growth for the group the leader talks about. Athu Matham appadingara oru vishayatha saarnthu varathaala namma yugathukku atha yaethukka mudiyaama irukalaam. What RC did as a leader is justifiable IMO for that time and period. Namma uyir poana, people innum kothipadainju KC yoada agambaavam kurayalaam allathu avanae illaama poi in future janangalukku nambikkai nadakalaamnu yosikalaam.
  
  Ulagam Urundai nnu sonnathukkaaga, sonnavangala kolai panninavangalum irukaanga. Sari evan yekkaedu kettu poana enna, namma uyir namma kudumbam thaan mukkiyamnu sollittu poi iruntha, oru vaela ippa irukura Scientific growth illaama kooda poi irukalaam. Athanaala, ulagam urundai nnu solli sethu poanavan fanatic nnaa solla mudiyum
  
  Every man is fanatic with own percentage level. Let us not go into that.
  
  For that moment what a leader can take that is what RN did. IMO no fanatic thingy
  
  P.S: Matham allathu Matha Mambikkai nallathaa kettathaannu poaga vaenaam. Entha oru vishayathum nallathukku use pannalaam, kettathukkum use pannalaam. It is all the in people's hand.

I was joking about that intro fight actually. Yet, I still stand firm on my view that RN is a fanatic on his own. I have no intention to irritate anyone here. I reacted as 'someone' here started as if Saivites are bad people.

  I dont think he is a fanatic, rather a great disciple of Lord balaji. That's all. Fanatism means bling worshiping with out looking pros and cons. Kirupanadha variar is not a fanatic he is a great disciples. The followers are called as disciples and not as fanatic.

  http://www.live-pr.com/en/kamal-haasan-s-dasavatharam-becomes-an-r1048211640.htm
  
  Kamal Haasan's Dasavatharam becomes an all time sensation
  
  12.10.2008 16:32:49 Recently I was in Chennai and had a chance to walk in the crowded streets. Suddenly in the air Kamal Haasan's Dasavatharam fame song "Ulaga Nayagane (The world hero).........Ulaga Nayagane............" was spread everywhere and my friend was very much absorbed and almost started to twist his body according to the song.
  
  (live-PR.com) - I was really socked to learn even after nearly four months, the film and its songs have still in the mind and heart of the average Indians.
  
  Kamal Haasan, the maestro of the Tamil cinema made us all to applaud him and the classical dance of India by the 1983 film Saagara Sangamam (The Confluence), a Telugu film which was dubbed in Tamil as "Salangai Oli".
  
  He made us wept by his role as a poor and struggling Indian classical dancer while Jeya Prada as a wealthy young woman and a patron of the dances, did her best in the very emotional scenes when she heard about Kamal's condition as a desolate and ailing alcoholic, though she is a widow of someone else, but loved by Kamal deeply.
  
  Some of the songs can go deep into any one's heart irrespective of their age and gender.
  
  Kamal Haasan's songs in the 1979 film "Ninaithale Inikkum", a Tamil feature film directed by India's one of the finest film directors K. Balachander made us weep and gave us a chance to realise the reality of the worldly life.The film follows lead actor Kamal Hassan who plays a singer and his band on a tour to Singapore. Over there Kamal meets his love interest (played by Jaya Pradha), only to find that she is terminally ill. The film ends on a tragic note with the Jeya Prada's demise.
  
  The songs of the film were very popular, and are still remembered by the Tamil and many Indian audience for decades and some even shed tears when they hear the songs remembering the tragic end of Jaya Prada.
  
  After a lengthy gap of Kamal Haasan's emotional songs which could penetrate the hearts of Indians all over the world, the songs in Dasavatharam did it.

  Saw Dasavatharam in DVD:
  
  Very much liked it this time. Sila pala scenes rewind panni - rewind panni parkka vendi irundhadhu
  
  
  Since I had read a lot about 10A in Hub.. I was keenly watching Chris Fletcher & his mannerisms.. he was just &
  Appappo jump adipparu parunga
  
  Most liked Kamal's (as like others felt)
  
  Govind - Simple & witty
  Nambi, Fletcher, Boovaragan -
  Balram Naidu -
  
  Most of the dialogues were cool & need to be heard well to get involved in the film (this is the same for most Kamal films)
  
  Screenplay is also good.. At no point I felt bored.
  
  Will point out just 1 dialogue:
  
  Asin: ennoda perumalayum, ennayum thodatheenga
  Kamal: ungala thodurathula ellam enakku intrest illai... enakku ullae irukkuradhu venum

  Plummeting Tamil Cinema. IS IT TIME FOR CHANGE? IndiaGlitz [Thursday, November 20, 2008] Tamil Cinema seems to be treading through troubled times these days with most big films bombing at the box office. Is it because filmmakers are taking audiences for granted and churning out average fares or are audiences expecting really good films for their consumption? Something to think about…. Here's a startling fact: There have been 96 Tamil films released in the year 2008 so far and only six of them have gone on to become successful. If this is not an alarming trend….then what is? This fact has thrown a lot of questions at filmmakers in Tamilnadu. Do filmmakers underestimate audiences? Have filmmakers become so stale that they have nothing new to offer? Is there a proper channel to identify and bring out the talent of deserving wannabe filmmakers? (OR) Do big names in the industry create a wedge thereby preventing fresh talent from surfacing? Is there fear among filmmakers to experiment? Have artistic qualities become a forgotten entity in Tamil Cinema? The six films that have really gone on to be successful in 2008 so far have few big names attached to them. 'Anjathe', 'Santhosh Subramanium', 'Dasavatharam', 'Yaradi Nee Mohini', 'Subramaniyapuram' and 'Saroja'. The likes of Rajinikanth, Vijay, Ajith and all those actors who want to project themselves as larger-than-life have all taken a beating. 'Kuselan', 'Dasavatharam', 'Bheema', 'Kuruvi', 'Dhaam Dhoom', 'Aegan' and 'Varanam Aayiram' have been tremendously anticipated this year but then it was only 'Dasavatharam' that made the magical run. It is still too early to comment on 'Varanam Aayiram' – we can make an assessment after about fifteen days of the film's release (although there have been a few who have called for pillows during the second half). There's still more bad news for the Tamil Film Industry. Of the six films that went on to be successful this year so far, three of them have been remakes of other language films. 'Santhosh Subramaniam' is a remake of the Telugu super hit 'Bommarillu'. 'Yaradi Nee Mohini' is the remake of another Telugu film 'Adhavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule', 'Saroja' is the Tamil version of the Hollywood film 'Judgment Night' (though the comic element of the film is original), 'Anjathe' a brilliant film but heavily inspired by Akira Kurosawa. 'Dasavatharam' and 'Subramaniapuram' have been mighty original in their approaches. The former made it big with the brilliance of Kamal Haasan appearing in ten roles and the latter weaved the tale of beleaguered associations with a refreshing dosage of the 'native-feel'. Whew….96 films released and …. (Certain things are better left unsaid).

  
  
  Taken with a pinch of salt ...

  There were so many news early on this..
  1. The entire dubbing work was over just before the release of tamil & telegu version, the hindi version postponed for 2 weeks due to delay in printing..
  
  2. Marmayogi Launch will be happening in Mumbai and on that day Dasa will be released in Hindi ... (MY Pooja is also not happened)
  
  3.It was also told that the entire revenue of Hindi version would be going to Kamal only and there were approx 450 prints were ready..
  
  If the prints are ready then what is stopping them to release..

  Dasavatharam collections worldwide Dasavathaaram is not only ruling the box offices in India, but is also doing an impressive job in UK, Malaysia, US, and other countries Dasavathaaram (also spelt as Dasavatharam) is not only ruling the box offices in India, but is also doing an impressive job in UK, Malaysia, US, and other countries. In Malaysia, it has done amazing business in just three days, from June 13th to June 15th; it has collected $601,307 and is just a few hundred dollars away from the No.1 film Incredible Hulk. Dasavathaaram will sure be number one in a day or two from the way it is progressing. In United Kingdom, Dasavathaaram has pushed behind all the Bollywood films this season (even Sarkar Raj) and has garnered $256,100 (from June 13th to June 15th) despite being released only in a handful of theatres. It is to be noted that Sarkar Raj was released in more number of theatres than Dasavathaaram. Dasavathaaram was released in 50 major cities across USA and is doing business on par with some Hollywood films. It is number one amongst Indian releases and has left behind Sarkar Raj here too. This is an incredible achievement by the film. The box office collections are growing unabated. After two more weeks, we will come to know about the new records that Dasavathaaram has created at box office. Verdict: Dasavathaaram has soared high above all expectations. Now Kamal Haasan should be a very happy man.

  2008 ‘best year’ for Indian films
  By Ramesh Mathew
  LAST year was by far the best for Indian feature films in Qatar, according to a Qatar Cinema & Film Distribution Company official.
  Speaking to Gulf Times yesterday, QCFDC deputy general manager Omar Mohamed Dama, who has been working in the industry for more than 35 years, said films from India recorded their best ever performance in Qatar in 2008.
  Dama said Kamal Hassan’s Desavatharam was the top grosser for the company, surpassing all records for Indian films. He attributed the movie’s success to its appeal to both Indian and Sri Lankan audiences.
  Shahrukh Khan’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was the most popular Hindi film, Dama said. Hrithik Roshan’s Jodha Akbar and Akshay Khanna’s Mere Baap Pehle Aap were other hits.

  Hi Guys,
  
  Happy to know the movie is finally releasing in Hindi.
  
  The Tamil version was released without the color correction which
  made some make ups look bad, as posted by CR earlier here,
  it could take a long time, about a year to do the color correction
  and to avoid that delay the movie was released without the
  color correction process being completed in Tamil.
  
  Hope in Hindi they have done the color correction and rectified
  whatever other CG errors could be corrected.
  
  Any inside info about this Anban? or anyone else?

  Asin appears in dual role as her second Hindi film gets ready to release By Joginder Tuteja, April 1, 2009 - 15:07 IST Deepika Padukone There is good news for all Asin fans. After being seen in Ghajini, she would be seen in Dasavatharam which releases next Friday. Though the Tamil version was released worldwide in June last year, the dubbed Hindi version is arriving after a gap of nearly a year. Interestingly, Asin has a double role to play in the film. She plays a woman from both the 12th century as well as the 21st century. Incidentally, in both the roles, she plays a Brahmin woman. The film's USP is Kamal Hassan who plays as many as ten different roles in the film. Another female lead in the film is Mallika Sherawat. "Asin walked into a role which was originally meant for Vidya Balan", says an industry insider, "However, due to date issues, Vidya had to walk out of the project and Asin stepped in." He maintains that consenting to work in Dasavatharam really helped Asin's standing in the industry. "She gained a lot from the film since her performance was appreciated on a scale similar to that of the Tamil version of Ghajini. The Hindi version of Ghajini arrived only later (in December 2008) and since then her stocks have been on a rise." In the film, Asin plays the characters of Kothai Radha and Andaal, opposite Kamal Hassan from the 12th and 21st century respectively. The story of Dasavatharam revolves around a research scientist who loses a biological weapon of mass destruction in the United States of America. The weapon is also sought by an ex-CIA officer for his own use. This is when the scientist and the ex-CIA officer begin a cat and mouse chase to gain possession of the weapon. "The film is an out and out commercial affair and was made at a cost of close to Rs. 60 crores", says a trade expert from Chennai, "After its release, Dasavatharam became one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of Tamil cinema by breaking records across the globe. Moreover, majority of reviews were positive too about this film that traversed centuries." A film which has a running time of close to 3 hours, Dasavathaaram took close to 3 years to reach the finishing line after being in the making since 2005. One of the highlights of film was the much hyped soundtrack that was composed by Himesh Reshammiya. The film was released in Tamil and Telugu in June 2008 but Hindi version has taken quite some time to arrive. This time around too, it seems more out of chance than choice since producers v/s multiplexes strike has resulted in non-arrival of any new Hindi movies. This is why Dasavatharam is seeing a sudden release coming Friday. Well, it only works for Asin fans that were left asking for more ever since she made her Bollywood debut with Ghajini last year. Now with Asin being seen in a double role in Dasavatharam, it should only be double the excitement for the audience.

  I have a dormant market in Bollywood: Kamal Haasan With the Hindi version of his Tamil blockbuster 'Dasavathaaram' set to hit the screens, multilingual actor Kamal Haasan says he is back to reach out to a wider Hindi-speaking audience. "The success of the film made the producers so happy, and it being the biggest hit in my career, I had to tell them that the rest of the country should also see it. It's my selfishness that I am bringing it here. I want to reach the audience," Kamal told us in an interview. The Hindi version of 'Dasavathaaram' is releasing April 17. "I have a dormant market in Bollywood. I'll have to make use of that. There is a certain amount of acceptance for me, thanks to the Hindi audience. So I have an opportunity here and that is the reason I am back," said the ardent Dilip Kumar fan. Directed by K.S. Ravikumar, 'Dasavathaaram' scorched the screens with fiery collections worldwide when it released in Tamil and Telugu June 13 last year. It is also said to be the highest grosser in Tamil cinema so far. After starring in a string of Bollywood hits like 'Ek Duuje Ke Liye' (1981), 'Sadma' (1983) and 'Saagar' (1985), Kamal stepped away from the Hindi film industry. After 'Dekha Pyar Tumhara' (1985), he made a comeback with 'Chachi 420' in 1998. "The films were taking too long to make in Bollywood. Vis-a-vis now the films were made over a period of two to three years there (Mumbai) and I thought by that time I could have made about seven films in the south. So I went back. "Now there are some very sensible films being made in Mumbai - much better than what is being made in Chennai." Kamal has set a record by playing the maximum characters in 'Dasavathaaram', but says it was not a cakewalk because of the rigorous make-up sessions. "Making 'Dasavathaaram' was the most tedious in my career courtesy the make-up sessions. In mirror, the shortest span it took me for a character was around three hours and the rest ranged from five to six. Once I was in the make-up, I had to go and then dry it," he said. "The most difficult was the kind of tasks where I had to play with size, character, and age. There is a difference in the characters as they are not of the same size," he added. But he says it was worth the effort as the movie turned out to be the "biggest hit" of his career. The 54-year-old plays 10 characters in the film - US President George Bush, an ex-CIA agent, a scientist, an old woman, a terrorist, a Dalit activist, a medieval Vishnu devotee, a Punjabi pop singer, a Japanese martial arts leader and a tall Muslim. "We spent the first 25 days before the shoot in Los Angeles just testing out the different looks with prosthetics and the outcome was indeed satisfactory." Produced by Oscar Ravichandran, the 165-minute science-based thriller is shot at an approximate budget of Rs.1.3 billion. The actor admits he has always had an inclination towards playing multiple roles. "I love to portray different characters - the bahurupi (harlequin) tradition is very natural in an Indian actor. It's just like in Bharatanatyam. It's exposing your capabilities," said the actor who was first seen in more than one character in films like 'Apoorva Sagodharargal/Appu Raja' (1989) and 'Michael Madhana Kamarajan' (1990). Kamal, who has also written the story and screenplay for the film, has teamed up with Asin Thottumkal and Mallika Sherawat in it. The music was scored by Bollywood composer Himesh Reshammiya. His future projects include '19 Steps' (in Tamil, English and Japanese) and 'Thalaivan Irukkiraan' - his home production Rajkamal Films International's remake of 'A Wednesday' in Tamil and Telugu with Mohanlal and Venkatesh respectively. Kamal's much-hyped productions - 'Marudhanayagam' and 'Marmayogi' - have been deferred due to financial constraints. Source: IANS

  NAYAGAN Versatility is an easy synonym to use for dancer, singer, director, producer and of course actor — Kamal Haasan. Skill-sets cheered by millions across Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi and even Bengali cinema over the past three decades. Modesty, says the industry, is not a Haasan attribute, though Krishna Gopalan and Nandini Raghavendra caught this quick-witted actor in a mood of humility AS HE draws gently into his cup of tea, Kamal Haasan displays a composed look. His last release, Dasavatharam, which was released almost a year ago, set the cash registers ringing and Haasan’s satisfaction with its success is evident. “It was made with budgets that were unheard of in the Tamil film industry and it made four times the kind of money that was possible,” he says matter-of-factly of the movie that cost producer, Oscar Ravichandran Rs 60 crore and is said to have raked in over Rs 200 crore with a Hindi version ready for release. Yet, this was one of the rare successes in a bad year for Tamil cinema, though Haasan dismisses the recession by attributing the failures solely to bad content. A RECESSION FOR FILMS? Haasan is not in any mood to agree with the notion that the film industry has been hit. “I have a legitimate suspicion that we are giving a knee-jerk reaction to what is happening globally. We do not export our films like China does its furniture. Our films are largely for local consumption,” maintains Haasan, confident in the Indian cine fan who has not yet abandoned the theatres. Even if Dasavatharam(tamil version) was released before the so-called slowdown set in, what would people attribute the success of the Aamir Khan starrer, Ghajini to, asks Haasan. “The question is about reacting practically to a situation. Have all sectors been affected or have food portions become smaller?” asks the actor who abhors complacency and advocates constant practice and introspection to move ahead in life. In all humour he adds, “I hope no one rationalizes our prices. I live well!” From the Tamil film industry’s point of view, times have been rough. Success rates have dropped and producers are doing a rethink on budgets. Estimates say out of 115 films that hit the theatres in ‘08, as many as 100 faltered. Consequently, a lot rides on ’09 content. Even the first quarter of ‘09 has not been anything to write home about with films like Villu and 1977 bombing. Tamil cinema follows the Telugu film factory in size in the South. “While the recession does not directly affect the film industry, it does have an impact on collections. To a lot of people, spending on a movie ticket is not an essential expenditure,” says AVM Studios’ CEO, SC Babu. In fact, two of Haasan’s proposed magnum opuses the Rs 120 crore budgeted Marmayogi and Marudhanayagam, another historical big ticket, have got affected. While Pyramid Saimira pulled out of the first film, the second has been in the planning for over four years. Haasan acknowledges that Marmayogi had to be shelved but clarifies it is only till he can rustle up resources. “Marmayogi is a period film and it can go on to the floor anytime while Marudhanayagam has the potential of a Crouching Tiger and it will stand the test of time,” says the star. This confidence in his content at whatever cost of money and time is why Haasan has insisted on autonomy for his banner, Rajkamal Films. And his confidence has so far never been misplaced. Of the 23 films he has produced, 21 have been hits (10 superhits). “We are ready for any scale but we are keen on maintaining our autonomy,” says Haasan emphatically. FILMS, MENTORING ET AL For someone who made his film debut at six, Haasan’s enthusiasm for the medium is almost infectious. “All I know about the world came to me through cinema or moving images,” says the man who religiously devotes a minimum of half a film a day including a large chunk of world cinema where he confesses to have been deeply influenced by the works of Kurusawa, Chaplin and Truffaut. Haasan was still in his teens when he starred as the gawky, aspiring medical student in K. Balachander’s Arangetram— a movie which sowed the seeds of a relationship which was a turning point in Haasan’s career. “Teaching is a great sacrifice. You stay in one place while the student keeps moving on. I am like a student all the time — greedy, avaricious and always eager to learn. I feel through my acting, people get a glimpse into my soul babbling away the secrets of my life. I was 18 when I joined Balachander. We have done about 35 films together though we still disagree on the numbers,” says Haasan, his laugh filling the hotel room. Among those that stand out are Aval Oru Thodarkathai, Moondru Mudichu, Manmatha Leelai and Avargal. They also came together for the 1981 Hindi smash hit, Ek Duuje Ke Liye which was first made in Telugu. “He would produce at least 2-3 films each year. He was incredible since he was writing and directing at the same time,” says Haasan. Haasan also acknowledges the role of TK Shanmugham, the doyen of theatre and cinema, who was the inspiration for his Avvai Shanmukhi which was later remade in Hindi as Chachi 420. Haasan has essayed a plethora of roles in his long career. He has played a ventriloquist, an underworld don, a Bharatanatyam dancer, a dwarf, a woman, a patriot, a drunkard, a teacher healing a mentally challenged girl – the list is endless. If that was not enough, he has produced and directed films apart from being a singer on more than one instance. NEXT? Haasan is a man full of ideas who admits his hands are full. On the anvil is a remake of A Wednesday in Tamil — Thalaivan Irukindran, scheduled for release in June. “Walt Disney has approached me for 19 Steps and we start shooting in July,” he says. How do you choose favourites from such a multitude of roles? But Haasan makes an honest attempt. “Saagar, Hey Ram, Sagara Sangamam, Nayagan and some scenes in Virumandi,” he says. There is no best as that means complacency. “I hope I am constantly improving as an actor. What is best is passé,” he says in all humility. The bar just got higher for this quintessential performer.

  Kamal hit gets 220 prints in Hindi release
  The Tamil film Dasavatharam pro-duced by Aascar Ravichandran anddirected by K.S.Ravikumar, whereKamal Haasan played 10 roles was one of the big hits of 2008. The film had Asin, Mallika Sherawat and Jaya Prada in important roles opposite Kamal.
  Now the movie is being released in Hindi and it’s said to be a comeback of sorts for Kamal in Bollywood. The actor is known in the Hindi industry for memorable flicks like Ek Duuje Ke Liye, Sadma, Saagar and Chachi 420. Asin also made an impact with Ghajini. Ravi considers this an appropriate time to release the movie in Hindi.
  He says, “The film will be released in 220 theatres across North India by April 17. As Kamal is well-versed in various languages like Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Gujarathi and Bengali, he dubbed for this version, which was completed long ago. Of course, Mallika and Himesh Reshammiya are well-known in the north which should help the film.” Kamal expressed his happiness reaching out to Hindi audiences after a gap and said “I have a promising market there and I hope the film does well.”

  It was VKK that made me revisit Dasa for the 'Poovaraghan' episode.
  I thought that ending in Dasa and the ending in VKK had some good writing behind it.
  Writing wise Dasa is an achievment execution is still not upto the mark and applying thenandaal films graphics as the bench mark, Dasa can be tolerated on that front. Save for the badly made up narahashi - and closing the eyes when Kalifullah khan comes on screen and listening to sound bytes alone, I was able to relish the writing behind it - Offcourse I sorta liked Krishnaveni paatti and her contribution to the poovaraghan story more than the first time.
  Even Asin's comedy wasnt all that screachy second time around.
  Looks like familiarity - sometimes doesnt breed contempt - atleast in case of Dasa.
  One thing where Devi Sri missed and what Raaja would have done is to play the 'Kallai mattum kandaal' background for 'vincent poovaraghan's drowning as well instead of bringing it up only when the vishnu idol is shown.
  One thing that did not work even in the second viewing - USA portions - the lab, the car chase and casting - they uniformly sucked this time as well - That Dr.Sethu - I would have put in a needle if Mallika had not done that in the movie.

  Bollywood sees a dry spell ahead
  By IANS
  Apr 04, 2009, 01:12
  
  Printer friendly page
  
  Mumbai (IANS): Bollywood is headed for a dry spell as the stand-off between the producers and multiplexes worsens this weekend and the Indian Premier League (IPL) is ready to invade television screens later this month.
  
  "Really, it couldn't have been a worse time for Bollywood with bad quality movies dominating from January till March, producers calling a strike in April and then May seeing IPL at its ferocious best," rues Madhur Bhandarkar, who is currently busy shooting Jail.
  
  After a disastrous first quarter of 2009, this seems to be the industry's worst dream coming true with hardly any films being confirmed for the next two months except Kal Kissne Dekha (releasing May 1) and Kambakkth Ishq, scheduled to open on May 29.
  
  The period from January to March has been terrible to say the least as films flopped left, right and centre. Each of the biggies failed at the box office, whether it was Chandni Chowk To China, Billu Barber or Dilli 6. Successes like Dev D and Raaz — The Mystery Continues haven't been big enough to compensate for the losses.
  
  "The need of the hour is cinema that people are dying to watch and enjoy," said Sajid Khan, who is getting ready to begin shooting for Housefull starring Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone.
  
  "There have to be many more money spinners like Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Om Shanti Om, Dhoom 2, Singh Is Kinng and Ghajini arriving back to back in theatres," the filmmaker added.
  
  There is little chance that the films in the coming quarter could do the trick because of the two roadblocks — the producers versus multiplexes stand-off and the IPL.
  
  To begin with the first issue, this time around the producers have tightened their stand as a result of which no new films will be released from April 4 onwards.
  
  "So strong has been the outlook of producers towards the entire issue, rightly so, that there are no promos of any upcoming movie which is currently on air. This means that the makers are more than 100 percent convinced that the stand-off is not expected to end before the month of May begins," a distributor said on condition of anonymity.
  
  With the month of April being completely lost except the Akshay Kumar-starrer "8X10 Tasveer", all eyes will be on the releases taking place in May, provided the strike is over by then with producers and multiplexes arriving at some sort of resolution.
  
  In May, Bollywood will face tough competition from the IPL matches.
  
  Most of the month there will be the Twenty20 matches that would be watched by millions of Indians between 4 pm and 11 pm. And trade experts feel this translates into loss of prime time of movie-watching, with films likely to play in empty houses till May 24.
  
  Not that May would be devoid of any releases though. As per the original schedule (when producers hadn't called a strike), movies like New York, Life Partner, Raftaar 24x7, Shortcut — The Con is On, Jashn and Kal Kissne Dekha were all confirmed for release.
  
  However, with all plans going topsy-turvy, the only two confirmed releases of the month are Kal Kissne Dekha and Kambakkth Ishq.

  Can someone shed more light on this article?? Does it in any
  way have any effect on Dasa release in HIndi?
  
  If it does release, one good thing will be that there will be no
  other new movies at that time so Dasa can get more exposure,
  but the IPL is surely a thing of concern

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

  Awadhi is a dialect of Hindi. It is a very old form and many think of it as the 'base' for today's Hindi. Tulsidas's ramayana is in Awadhi.
  
  What is the difference between Awadhi and Hindi-nu ellAm theriyAdhu.

  Ten on Ten When Kamal Haasan plays God on screen, it’s not all that difficult to believe him. So, it won’t probably be a surprise if Dashavtar (the Hindi version of the Tamil magnum opus Dasavathram) runs to packed houses even though it releases more than six months after the original. “We have put in a lot of hard work into the film. It was arduous and involved hours of make up,” says Haasan, who was in the Fame Cinemas in the South City mall to promote his film. Dubbing the film into Hindi was there on his mind from the word go, but somehow things got impeded, he adds. It’s been long, nine years exactly, since Haasan had made an appearance in a Hindi film. “It’s just that I didn’t get the right project for a long time in the Hindi film industry. I have been keeping busy also,” says the actor, sharply denouncing the term ‘Bollywood’. “It’s very artificial. It’s like calling Calcutta, California,” he offers. However, there are plans on to do a Hindi film some time soon. “The script is almost done. We’ll start with the casting in some time too,” says Haasan. Corporatisation of the film industry, feels Haasan is something that might go horribly go wrong if the right people don’t call the shots. “It’s a good thing in several ways. But then when a corporate house gets involved in a film, it should know cinema like it knows its business,” he says, “I just wish there was a little more clarity in the corporate-film liaisons happening these days.”

  இந்தி தசாவதாரத்தில் 'பெங்காளி பாபு'வான பல்ராம் நாயுடு!
  
  தசாவதாரம் படத்தின் இந்திப் பதிப்பில் கமல்ஹாசனின் பல்ராம் நாயுடு பாத்திரம் பெங்காளி பாபு என மாற்றப்பட்டுள்ளது. இந்தத் தகவலை கலைஞானி கமல்ஹாசனே பத்திரிகையாளர்களிடம் நேற்று தெரிவித்தார்.
  
  ஹைதராபாதில் பத்திரிகையாளர்களைச் சந்தித்த கமல், இந்தத் தகவலைத் தெரிவித்தார்.
  
  இந்த சந்திப்பின்போது அவர் மேலும் கூறியதாவது:
  
  இப்போது உன்னைப் போல் ஒருவன் படத்தை எடுத்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறேன். இந்தப் படம் இன்னும் இரண்டு மாதங்களில் முடிந்துவிடும். அடுத்து 19 ஸ்டெப்ஸ் படத்திலும் நடிக்கிறேன். இந்தப் படங்களுக்குப் பின் ஒரு இந்திப் படத்தை உருவாக்கும் திட்டம் உள்ளது. அந்தப் படத்திலும் எனது பாத்திரத்தில் ஒரு சின்ன ஆச்சர்யம் இருக்கும்.
  
  நாளை (ஏப்ரல் 17) என்னுடைய தசாவதாரம் இந்தியில் டப் செய்யப்பட்டு வெளியாகிறது. இந்தப் படத்தில் ஒரு சின்ன மாறுதல்... வேறு ஒன்றுமில்லை, ஆந்திராக்காரராக வரும் பல்ராம் நாயுடு, இந்தியில் பெங்காளி பாபுவாக வருகிறார்.
  
  மற்றபடி தமிழில் இருந்த அத்தனை விஷயங்களும் இந்தியில் அப்படியே உண்டு.
  
  எல்லோரும் நான் 10 வேடங்களில் நடித்ததைப் பெருமையாகப் பேசுகிறார்கள். இது ஒரு விஷயமே அல்ல... சிவாஜி பிறந்த மண்ணிலிருந்து வந்தவன் நான். பழைய தெருக்கூத்துக்களில் ஒருவரே பல வேடங்களில் போட்டு நடித்திருப்பாரகள். அது இந்த மண்ணுக்கே உரிய கலாச்சாரம், என்றார் கமல்.

  Quote:

  Your intelligence won’t be insulted while watching Dashavatar: K.S. Ravi Kumar K.S. Ravi Kumar Dashavatar director K.S. Ravi Kumar tells us why the mega budget entertainer is a must see. “The film is a thrill ride with its spine-tingling action, including an airplane chase and also a car chase. It took us 280 days to complete the film. All of Kamal Haasan’s ten characters took around twenty days each to shoot, adding up to 200 days in all. The audience expects a lot from this movie and it has come out well enough to live up to that.” K.S. Ravi Kumar tells us. “We know that they spend money like water but for this film they have spent a lot of money “on’ water as well for the Tsunami sequence”he adds. “The various faces, the body language, the way he (Kamal Haasan) walks, his costumes, his gestures, his speech, the languages he uses, everything will be different for the ten roles and you get an opportunity to see these ten different roles in one film. Kamal Haasan came to cinema at five and at fifty he is still here and he will be here when he is hundred as well.” says Ravi Kumar. On why the audience should see the movie the director says “I think, basically I am a cinema fan. And I have given you what I would like to see as a sensible cinema fan. So, I think your intelligence will not be insulted, your time will not be wasted, and you will really enjoy this film. And why you should watch the film, because we worked so hard for you. There is this peril of sounding like a postman or an SMS when we say that we have a message. We do have a message. The main message here is simple, you go to a theatre, you will enjoy the film.” -Sampurn Media

  Plex owners bank heavily on Dashavtar By ASHISH MITRA Indiantelevision.com Team (16 April 2009 7:00 pm) MUMBAI: With the producer-multiplex tangle yet to be resolved, the producers' strike enters its second week this Friday. And for this week, multiplex owners hope to gain with the release of four films including Kamal Haasan's Dashavtar, Anjan Dutt's Chowrasta-Crossroads of Love (both in Hindi), Bokya Saatbande (Marathi) and the Hollywood science fiction Monsters vs Aliens. The focus of attention would, however, be on the dubbed Hindi film Dashavtar that is being distributed by Shringar Films on an all-India basis. Chennai-based Oscar Films' mega budget movie, besides opening in other multiplexes, is releasing in eight multiplexes of Fame in Mumbai itself. Shringar Group runs a chain of multiplexes across the country. Says Fame Cinemas chief programmer Aditya Shroff, "We are releasing the film with 60 prints all over along with 180 UFO centers." Agrees 24 Karat Multiplex CEO Padam Sacheti, "A Kamal Haasan film always has a good draw at the box-office and hence I don't think Dashavtar will perform badly. Things are a little different up North. Says PVR CEO Amitabh Bardhan, "In Delhi and other parts around, we are releasing two films: Dashavtar and Monsters vs Aliens. I think both these films have the potential to draw in crowds, the first being kids-centric while the second being a lavishly made film starring Kamal Haasan."

  Movie Review : Dashavatar (2009)
  April 16th, 2009 - 9:10 pm ICT by sampurn Tell a Friend -
  
  Dashavatar (2009) Dashavatar: Is paisa vasool entertainer
  
  Rating: 3.5 out of 5*
  
  Starring: Kamal Haasan, Asin, Jaya Prada and Mallika Sherawat
  
  Director: K.S. Ravi Kumar
  
  It would not be fair to reveal the entire plot of this film as the great fun while watching this film lies in the thrilling ride it takes us while watching it. The story of the film is almost a sprawling “epic,” that begins in ancient times (12th century) of evil kings and heroic Brahmins (Kamal in his 1st part out of the 10), then it fast-forwards to 2004. A computer chip containing a vicious biological material goes missing from a laboratory in the United States. An in-house scientist Govinda (Kamal again) who is aware of the dangers of the material launches a hunt for the missing material, which takes him to India. In the course of the hunt for the missing chip, Kamal takes on eight more characters and travels to many continents. From here, the film goes to a time when the whole world is on the brink of a biological warfare waged by terrorists. Actively opposing them is the American president who urges the rest of the world to combat this evil.
  
  The film is part fantasy, part-sci-fi, part-action adventure, part-crime-thriller, part-disaster movie etc. So huge is its canvass that it almost spans the entire globe right from America to India and even Japan. Not only that, you get to see Kamal Hassan fighting, in bike chases, car chases, singing, dancing, on ledges of tall buildings, falling off construction sites, you name it. The best part of it all is probably seeing Kamal Hassan fighting himself While at times the special effects may not seem top-notch, it’s a wonder to see how much work has been put into this movie. The digital composites, the way they choreographed the movements of the camera and the actors, especially when Kamal Hassan’s multiple characters appear together in a single frame and move about, criss-crossing each other. Simply terrific.
  
  Kamal Haasan deserves all the possible acting awards of our country and beyond for his brilliant act. His each role out of the 10 is a challenging task but he impresses the most as the Vaishnavite Brahmin Ranga. Asin in double role playing his love interest doesn’t get real great scope like she had in Ghajini but she impresses nonetheless. Mallika Sherawat in a role with negative shades is good too. Jaya Prada does a competent job. Rest all cast fits the bill and do a fine job as well. Himesh Reshammiya’s music doesn’t impress though and the almost three hours plus running time gets a bit tiring at times as well. But then you realise the set up as big as this requires such a long running time.
  
  For entertainment hungry audience, this film is a mega treat, a must watch. At times you need to suspend your beliefs but then what the heck it is not as mindless as some other big hits that expect you to do so Go watch the film for Kamal Haasan and the huge canvass. -Sampurn Media
