It's kind of hard for people like Kamal to understand the likings of the mass who adore shit movies like pokkiri, tirupachi etc .....<BR/>Bye,<BR/>PalaniappanBABUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073349864969781335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152602308440370005.post-57974163101219995532008-06-16T06:03:00.000-07:002008-06-16T06:03:00.000-07:00No doubt kamal is a great actor..but has he learnt...No doubt kamal is a great actor..but has he learnt from the mistakes of alavandhan???..even hey ram i would say was a good movie but for the sagging mid interval portion<BR/><BR/>This at the end of it is an effort to pull together a crowning glory that he's the first one to do 10 roles in a movie. An effort to outdo sivaji's 9 roles in navarathri. His aim to be the numero uno of indian cinema is laudable..just that the script has faltered him here!!dharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17951684922920485754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152602308440370005.post-68307744841201216412008-06-16T03:06:00.001-07:002008-06-16T03:06:00.001-07:00Sorry about the multiple deletes.

But, sadly--after many reviews (unofficial and official)--I guess it was all about the hype. <BR/><BR/>To conclude, I know of only one actor other than Kamal, who could portray a plethora of diverse characters in the same film with such ease--Peter Sellers. In an era when technology, camera tricks and make up skills were limited, Sellers' performances stood out in every character's role he portrayed. <BR/><BR/>Sadly, I feel Dasavatharam is nowhere close to what Kamal is capable of. I would want to buy the Michael Madana Kama Rajan DVD and get entranced by this man's acting. <BR/><BR/>Very good write-up baidik. Good analysis of the artiste that is Kamal Hassan.Siddharthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07161476199434425580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152602308440370005.post-87419068704287229572008-06-16T03:02:00.000-07:002008-06-16T03:02:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Siddharthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07161476199434425580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152602308440370005.post-13388746742367580242008-06-16T03:00:00.000-07:002008-06-16T03:00:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Siddharthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07161476199434425580noreply@blogger.com
