But reading thru Scudies’ blog is far more entertaining.

Its worth watching the movie.

Super Scudie.

Dasaavatharam was a marvellous and brave attempt to innovate indian movie concepts.
But the sreenplay written by kamal was dragging in some scenes(Scenes of
paatti,khalifullah and Asin).and the Director who was not strong enough to suggest
and change these scenes, could’nt do anything in this movie

Kamal as a writer is in confusion at many times and tries to confuse the people also(Hey Ram,Alavanthan).It seems he does not have any clear message to convey or if he has , he has done it in a mystic way. In the future I expect him to not write any scripts because almost all his scripts has lot of flaws and eccentrism in it.It lacks a free flow in many places.
His thoughts are some times immature and it is reflected when he presents Asin and paatty. Their combination scenes where harassing.Every one knows chouchalam is an alayam but not an alayam which everyone like to mention
or to cherish. Kamal is not the first person to realise this..

If the writer, and the actor is the same person,he can present things in his view only and not in the view of a third person.An in this case the director who
should have a total outlook of the movie unfortunately bends himself to the
ideas of kamal only.And I strongly recommend Kamal not to direct or write his next venture Marmayogi .Please give the movie to some good directors like sankar who will lead the movie and coordinate all the factors including kamal(Indian).
If this happens the movie also will be perfect entertainer(not like dasaavatharam which lacks perfection ).He has ideas and the guts but to make it perfect he should accompany some one who can guide him to make it perfect.

One of the other problem was with the makeup. The makeup which claims to
be perfect was ugly for many charecters(Paatty,Khalifullah,Bush. But the
Body language of all of the charecters were Superb,which can only done by kamal.

The computer graaphics in the movie was yet another failure. If the first
scenes were shot normally or with good graphics it would have been far better.
The scenes like the soldiers taking him to the sea, the shark in the sea, the tsunami
were below than average. According to me Graphics , if not properly used
will exhibit poor results and will be far away from reality and cannot convey the
effect to the audience and I strongly advice to avoid graphics and if it is inevitable
work with the best technicians.
Dasaavatharam is in between the sweet movies of kamal like
Apoorva sahodarkal,Indian,Thevar magan,Avaai Shanmugi,nayagan, Anpe sivam
and his sour experiments like Hey Ram, Alavanthan and Virumandi.The later
movies were not art oriented or not entertaineres that will entice his Fans.These
movies contains the flavours of both the categories and not perfect in both senses.
He himself and the audience were confused about the movement of the movie(whether art or commercial) and its concepts an its message.He himself was
hallucinated and depicted certain incidents and tried to tie together, and it failed
to entertain people.
Dear kamalji, The themes you are trying to say is always Superb than
any other Actor or Film maker.But you should remember that u are best in acting
and please try to concentrate in it.Plese leave the other fields like screenplay
and direction.Try to accompany the directors and give them freedom to express
themselves.They are more closer to the Audience than you. Now you are
very far from the pulse of the audience.You always select good themes.The
problem is the treatment of these subjects.Try to tell these stories in a way
it will entertain the people also(Like Indian).
Lets forget the past .As a Kaml Fan I expect his next venture.
God’s grace A.R Rahman is with him .It wll strengthen the movie a lot.And
Kamal please give the complcated areas like Sreenplay writing angd direction to
the professionals.You may be a genius than them.But they are more closer
to audience than u angd it will help tro make ur new movie both perfect and popular
and a clean Entertainer

the graphics were downright terrible. the characters were amazing, except for the sardar – he kinda bugged me really! why did we have a sardar in the movie and why was he singing stupid stupid himesh reshamaiya TAM songs?! geez! i never thought i’d be forced to hear that bugger’s music in tam cinemas too!

and kamal is above and beyond petty facing-the-camera-and-delivering-a-makkal-punch-dialog scene! c’mon, K.S, gimme a break!

Beyond the commercial value, I certainly consider this a commendable attempt to create a lasting piece of art! This certainly is not a perfect piece of art, but certainly an excellent one – we all know pursuing excellence is better than pursuing perfection and never get there….

Really heartening to see artists who want to think beyond a triangular love story, feudalism or corruption. Kamal (which means lotus) stands out truly as a ’setril mulaitha senthamarai’ this way.

Over the years, I continue to be impressed by Kamal’s attention to detail. In Da’tharam, the ones that impressed me are the following:
1. 12th century Iyengar kamal has ’samasanam’ done in his shoulders
2. Bush’s body language when he waves his hand to the Indian crowd – impeccable!

Look forward to more great efforts.. way to go!
