I saw Dasavatharam amidst a lot of hype and positive reviews and to tell the truth,i was sorely disappointed.Admittedly,the first few minutes were awesome.It should have set the pace for a gr8 movie,but unfortunately poor screenplay,unnecessary character addition (apparently to set a record) and poor CGI(considering the huge budget of the film) lets the film down.Action scenes were mostly good especially the last fight.
But,it should still be a treat for the Kamal Hassan who has portrayed some of the characters such as Christian Fletcher,Rangarajan Nambi were brilliant.But some of the characters such as Kalifullah Khan and Krishnaveni seemed unnecessary.Its mainly due to the poor script where the interlude (so to speak) was poorly scripted.Also, the connection of the 12th century scenes with the 21st century left much to be desired.The music was bearable,to say the least.I wonder whether the decision to make Himesh Reshamiyya the Music Director instead of A.R.Rahman was a tad too hasty.
Asin's 21st century character seemed a bit too zealous and dumb.(Maybe because of overacting or the screenplay).Also there are obvious flaws in the direction where in the latter parts the background characters are caught doing silly things.The director surely needs to pay attention to the details.
In short,u'll probably enjoy if u r a kamal hassan fan or don't mind the poor script and graphics.
