This is one movie which lingers in your mind for a long time. It is happening to me. Its been a week and every day I remember the bits and pieces of this movie. May be Iam a fan of what Kamal does in his movies. But I feel anything that is done in a "grand" scale impresses me.
For example, the way the Tsunami scene is shown in the movie is impressive. I can see a bit of computer graphics, but only if you want to imagine that way. If you just see what is happening in front of your eyes, its quite amazing. Especially I wonder what on earth makes one even create such things.
Similarly in real life I always get amazed by when I see brihadeeshwara temple in Tanjore. Its grandeur makes me wonder what would have made Raja Raja Cholan to build such a massive and elegant structure which has been standing for more than 1000 years.
Talking of Tanjore temple, I have this strange feeling of choking whenever Iam there. I used to feel it as a very familiar territory and whenever I read about Raja Raja Cholan in Udayar by Balakumaran recently, I feel very close to the characters and description. I dont have any reason to believe in re-incarnation, but I feel most of us are recycled and keep appearing as our own fathers and sons.
Coming back to Dasavatharam, I feel Kamal has achieved and promoted himself to very far leaving behind all the rest in the Tamil or even Indian film industry. The troubles he would have undergone to do the 10 characters are completely not visible in the movie. Its because of his natural skills to portray different mannerisms or behaviours and his experience.
I also like movies which are not very seriously harping on some subject, instead has all elements of visuals and music exploiting technology to project a story. If there is no technology, then its ordinary story telling for which a cinema medium should not be used.
