Dasavatharam:The full Review

Taken from my email:Kudos to the writer/Kamal fan:)

This will be the best posting to review the epic movie, Dasavatharam. The understanding of the story and characters.. . been explained crystal clear. Definitely, you’ll go again to watch the movie once you have read it. Now you will understand the quality of the movie…

DASAVATHARAM. .CHAOS THEORY..and. .BUTTERFLY EFFECT!! – A Must Watch

Dasavatharam- — Its Kamal haasan’s show all through !!!! The movie is
a show of grandeur. Kamal makes it beyond the ordinary. His sheer
audacity, magnificence and histrionics are simply spellbinding. And
creativity is given new dimensions.

Too many doubts about correlation of the movie, Chaos theory and
Butterfly Effect have come into Picture….! !!

The movie clearly states about Chaos Theory and Butterfly Effect
[Kamal says it in his Speech in the Movie ]

The concept of “CHAOS THEORY” and “BUTTERFLY EFFECT”, by itself is a
complex concept, which mainly highlights the happening of huge
unimaginable things because of least probable things…!!! !

Dasa although deals with these concept, but does not necessarily
confuse anyone with it,,,, As i said earlier, its mainly “YOU”… that
plays a factor in how the movie gets along with “YOU”.

You have got to be Case 1 or Case 2 as i have said earlier in this
entry,,, No use being Half Baked…..!! !!

To just brief about these Concepts,

Q: What is a Chaotic System ?
A: Basically a chaotic system is one wherein long term predictions are
impossible.Like for example,if I push a car, I know that it is going
to move and it will continue to do so if I go on pushing it on and
on.However,in a chaotic system,this situation cannot be predicted over
a long period of time.
Weather for example is a chaotic system.No matter how good your
instruments are,you simply cannot predict the weather with 100%
accuracy over a long term basis and forecast it.

Q: What is the Butterfly Effect ?
A: It is the most important component of a chaotic
system.Basically, small perturbations results in amplifications which
completely destroys the original nature of the system and makes
prediction impossible.
If a butterfly flaps its wings in Africa,it could result in a cyclone
in USA.(Mark the word COULD).A highly dumbed down explanation of the
butterfly effect is in the film Anniyan,where Vikram’s sister dies
because a liquor shop owner sells liquor on a dry day.

Q: OK, how does Dasa incorporate it ?
A: In essence,Dasa talks about 8 characters who are inconsequential as
such,but are integrated in a larger picture.Without Bush,the plane
would have been called back.Without Shinghen, Govind would be
dead.Without the tsunami,the world would have been destroyed.Even
Krishnaveni Patti plays a very important role.If she had not put the
vial in the idol,maybe Govind would have recovered it then and there
and a powerful weapon would have been unleashed.The very fact that it
went into the idol meant that it was being accelerated to its
destiny.Without Kaifulla Khan, Govind would have never escaped;the
list simply goes on.

Q:OK,so does the film talk about theism or atheism?
A:Neither.It talks about how humans drive the destiny of the world.

CHAOS THEORY (in detail)

In mathematics, chaos theory describes the behavior of certain
dynamical systems – that is, systems whose state evolves with time –
that may exhibit dynamics that are highly sensitive to initial
conditions (popularly referred to as the butterfly effect). As a
result of this sensitivity, which manifests itself as an exponential
growth of perturbations in the initial conditions, the behavior of
chaotic systems appears to be random. This happens even though these
systems are deterministic, meaning that their future dynamics are
fully defined by their initial conditions, with no random elements
involved. This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply
chaos.

Chaotic behaviour is also observed in natural systems, such as the
weather. This may be explained by a chaos-theoretical analysis of a
mathematical model of such a system, embodying the laws of physics
that are relevant for the natural system.

BUTTERFLY EFFECT (in detail)

The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly’s wings might create
tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a
tornado or delay, accelerate or even prevent the occurrence of a
tornado in a certain location. The flapping wing represents a small
change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of
events leading to large-scale alterations of events. Had the butterfly
not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been
vastly different. Of course the butterfly cannot literally cause a
tornado. The kinetic energy in a tornado is enormously larger than the
energy in the turbulence of a butterfly. The kinetic energy
of a tornado is ultimately provided by the sun and the butterfly can
only influence certain details of weather events in a chaotic manner.

Recurrence, the approximate return of a system towards its initial
conditions, together with sensitive dependence on initial conditions
are the two main ingredients for chaotic motion. They have the
practical consequence of making complex systems, such as the weather,
difficult to predict past a certain time range (approximately a week
in the case of weather).
The movie does Show ” A Butterfly ” flying accross the screen after
the Tsunami Attcck, clearly indicating that the Tsunami is an Outcome
of ” The Butterfly effect “.

ALSOOOOOOO.. ……

I said that the butterfly COULD cause a hurricane.That’ s a huge
probability. Would be a negligible probability. NOT a huge one. if
that were true, we would have cyclones on an hourly basis as
butterflies keep flitting all over Africa and u don’t have so many
cyclones to account for a HUGE probability.
Chaos,relativity and quantum mechanics are so damn weird that you will
think I am talking metaphysics and pseudoscience.

Like for example,according to quantum mechanics,there is a finite
probability that you will fall right through a solid chair.And it is a
PROBABILITY.
Even 10 to the power -26 is finite .

But yes, Quantum Mechanics does allow for weird situations.

THE CONNECTION !!!!!
Guys check this link for a clear and complete explanation

http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Chaos_theory

http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Butterfly_ effect

In the above links u can see that butterfly’s wings might create tiny
changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a
tornado or delay, accelerate or even prevent the occurrence of a
tornado in a certain location..

So in dasavatharam that idol thrown into sea in 12th century is the
cause for tsunami…. so everything is interlinked .The wiki entry
also says that chaos could play an important role in plate techtonics.
Which means even the 12th century incident is connected.

The 1st scene is perfectly connected to the climax, remember what
Kamal says in the 1st scene, that he will not say “Om Nama Shivaya” ,
but Asin tells him to chant it , but still Kamal refuses , ( in this
kamal in his story tries to tell that ) Nambi believes in his god more
than anything, but Asin feels “Its ok if we change the god or chant
other god’s name, its life thats most important.” Now if u see the
climax its JUST OPPOSITE…. Kamal doesn’t believe in god much and
values lives of people the most…. but Asin deeply believes in god
and that too this dialogue comes when both Asin and Kamal’s hand is on
the god which came from the sea , and it also means that they are
getting united from the place they departed hundreds of years back (
Kamal and Asin).The connection between the 1st scene and the climax in
the movie shows the generation circle combined with supernatural
powers of GOD and destiny….. !!!

If you watch it closely u can also find another actor who has done
double action other than Asin and Kamal.
Asin’s father Sahasranamam [12th Century], in the beginning he says to
Nambi “Panchatchira manthirathai sollitu vaango mappillai” and at the
End [After tsunami] he says “Avar enna jathiyo inga vaanga paati “.
Another Eg. of Chaos Theory and circle of life.

JUST IMAGINE THE CHAOS THEORY IN A TAMIL FILM ??
WILL ANYONE HAVE THE GUTS TO HANDLE THIS KIND OF A SUBJECT IN A TAMIL FILM?

ONLY KAMAL HAS THE GUTS…. U ROCK!!

FURTHER—– ——–

Nambi explanation

Okay, this is slightly outside the chaotic system driving the film as
a whole.From what I could gather he says that this story is about
ideologies like God,the madness surrounding such ideologies and
decides to tell the story of the Shaivite-Vaishnavit e conflict to show
how people go crazy in the name of God as an example.

As a loose end,it gets tied up in the end,when the Ranganathar idol is
thrown out of the sea due to the tsunami which highlights the cyclic
nature of life.Actually the Nambi character highlights both Chaos and
Karma which I explained.That is the brilliance of this film,there is
so much to see and understand.

Another explanation( and this is slightly far fetched— as explained
earlier) is that Govind is in fact the reincaranation of Nambi. As
Nambi he couldn’t protect God and died in the name of God.In order to
fulfill his Karma,he is reincarnated as Govind Ramasamy who ultimately
saves the world from destruction. The idol in the end somewhat hints to
this theory; his story began with the idol and it ends with the idol.
As far as the connection with Nambi character and events in 12th Century goes…
The connection is based on the “Butterfly effect “.

When Govind and Andal goes to the bury the idol in the sands, Andal
will stumble on a particular stone couple of times…This is the same
stone as the one from 12th Century hen Kothai rips her Thaali and
flings it at Kulothunga Chozan…it will end up hanging on the stone.
So, the implied message here is Andal is Kothai reborn in the 21s
century.
During the encounter with Santhana Bharathi in the sand quarry, it is
repeat of the incident from 12th century. Instead of Kulothunga
Chozhan, it is the Sand Mafia which tries to inflict damage on the
land.
This movie is a brilliant juxtaposition of independent characters
whose paths cross, if only briefly, which is stunning example of Chaos
Theory.

The idol that is drowned in the sea along with Rangarajan in 12th
century by Chozha king results in a fault being developed at the
bottom of the ocean and creates tremors more than 800 years later.
These tremors result in the Tsunami. This again is a classic case of
Butterfly Effect wherein a seemingly inconcsequential event (the
drowing of the idol) saves Tamil Nadu from being wiped out off the
face of the earth.

But actually kamal has not left anything for our imagination. ..
Explanation struck the right chord, Kamal does tell to Asin in a
dialogue that idol which gets sunken back then gets struck between the
tectonic plates under the sea and causes tsunami…
Many people missed this dialogue i guess. Kamal’s accent was so very
perfect Tamil, that many people missed it…. Being perfect Is a
Problem by Itself !!!

Although the explanation is a least possible theory, that is what
“Chaos Theory” And “Butterfly Effect” are all about.
Its not just the statue that caused the tsunami, but it just started a
large chain of effects which kept multiplying exponentially and
finally lead to it after 800 years….!!
Why just say this concept is perfectly illogical… it is possible…
thats what i have been explaining all the while !!!

The story line is that things going wrong are made to be right which
involves many people and countries knowingly or unknowingly.

Knowingly:

-Bush, Manmohan Singh, Govindh, Fletcher, Balaram Naidu, Mallika Sherawath.

Unknowingly:

-Nambi’s drowning to death with the heavy statue causes simple changes
to the seabed that causes a devastating tsunami 800 years later [Acc.
to Chaos theory it is possible.... although it is least probable... It
is possible.. so nothing TOTALLY WRONG About it ]
-Poovaragan( actually saved kamal unknowingly- –when poovaragan enters
kamal and asin were caught by those manal kollayargal. There poovaragan
distracts the gang helping kamal to escape),
- Avatar Singh(gave way to Fletcher to escape in the airport unknowingly) ,
- Japanese(saved govind from fletcher,he knows he is saving but he
doesnt know about the play and was there only for revenge),
- Kallifulla and family(saved govind unknowingly) ……..
-Vincent is a dalit leader of a lower caste( the so called ) but saved
an Iyengar Girl ……and at the end becomes the con of the Iyengar
Paati !!
- If Shingen Narahashi’s sister was not killed, Fletcher could have
killed govind and used the virus for wrong purpose..

This is based on Chaos Theory..!!!! !

It is marvellous that Aandavar Kamal has used such a device in
Abhoorva Saghodhararghal, way back in 1989. To kill Delhi Ganesh, for
those of you who do not remember… yet another Eg. of Chaos Theory
And butterfly Effect !

The plot concept of Dasavadhaaram is logically explained by a machine
used by Him in His own screenplay back then too, before 20 Years!! Be
it a coincidence, or He possibly had that in mind as an inspiration,
it amazes me!!

The Storyline

The Story Line For Dasa is very Simple, its just a TWO LINER. People
might say there’s hardly any story in the movie. But i feel the
screenplay is the story by itself (Kamal’s 11th Avathar) has been done
really intelligently.
In a movie having 10 roles, the only thing to think about or expect in
a story is, ” How exactly are all the 10 roles binded together to a
single thing, well mostly co-incidentally binded”. As a matter of fact
even in real life, the meeting of TEN different varied people can be
only co- incidental– not a planned one. Well, this is what happens in
the movie, which is supported by
CHAOS THEORY !!!

The film opens with a bird’s eye view of Chennai were Kamal is giving
a Speech, and takes the audience to the past — the 12th century.
In Chidambaram, Vaishnavaites and Shaivaites are in perpetual conflict
with the former taking the position that Lord Vishnu is supreme and
the Shaivaites being steadfast in their faith in Shiva. King
Kulothunga Chozhan (Napoleon), a Shaivaite, forces Nambi (Kamal), a
staunch Vaishnavite, to worship Shiva. As Nambi rebels, the king
sentences him to death. On the orders of the King, his soldiers throw
Nambi into the oceans tied to a stone image of Lord Vishnu. Nambi’s
wife Kothai (Asin) also dies from shock.

From this 12th century episode, the story moves to the 21st century.
Action begins in the United States where Govindaraj is part of a team
of scientists working on a virus. If exposed to the elements it can
spread rapidly and kill millions of people. Coming to know of it,
baddies (again a team led by Kamal, this time as Christian Fletcher, a
former CIA agent) try to acquire it to use it in a bio-war. By
mistake, the virus comes in a parcel to India. Govindaraj and Fletcher
come to India looking for the parcel which has reached Chidambaram.
Suspecting that Govindaraj has taken away the deadly virus, US
President Bush (he too is Kamal), asks the Indian Government to
apprehend him.

In his journey to find the parcel containing the virus and destroy it,
Govindaraj meets Andal (Asin) who is a staunch Vaishnavaite,
Krishnaveni Paati, a 90-year-old woman; a tall and innocent Muslim
youth, Kaifullah Khan; a Punjabi pop singer, Avatar Singh; a Dalit
leader, Vincent Poovaragan; a Japanese martial arts teacher Shingen
Narahashi; and an intelligence official (RAW) of the Government of
India, Balaram Naidu (all Kamals). The virus eventually falls into the
hands of Fletcher. Who swallows it and dies when the intelligence
official corners him with a gun. Then tsunami strikes Chennai
inundating a stretch of the seashore in Chennai. Poovaragan (Kamal)
drowns in the sea while being engaged in rescue operations.

THE 10 Roles

Kamal shows his versatility in all the roles. Every frame is an
experience in itself. Each of the characters played by Kamal has a
different skin tone and a different make-up. The lingo also varies
from character to character, making each role distinctly different.

Kamal as said earlier, has spun a “TWO LINER Story” thats has complex
concepts (Chaos Theory/Butterfly effects etc.,) for the common man to
comprehend in their own way. People who look it in a more intellectual
view point will definitely appreciate his effort !!!

Kamal has really excelled in his eleventh role of the screenplay
writer. It had so many “micro woven” intricacies implying various
complex concepts webbed around to the movie, which i cant imagine any
normal script writer to think of. Its such a fantastic subject that
mixes intelligence with commercial ingredients. It requires an
extraordinary intelligent mind to write the sequences some of which
are food for thought to the intellectuals as well as ordinary people.

Action packed chases, entry of every new character of Kamal in regular
intervals, and a racy scene every now and then made me feel the movie
really entertaining. Beyond all …….the KAMAL FACTOR just made me
awestruck, missing many dialogues gaping at KAMAL’s acting !!

Guys who complain about the story, make-up and graphics are expecting
tooooo much from an Indian(tamil) movie!! High expectations are
natural because the actor is the GREAT Kamal Haasan. But if someone is
expecting graphics to the standard of ‘Lord of the Rings’ in a tamil
movie, then thats foolish. This movie has got visual effects which no
other indian movie has produced! Its a pure visual treat! This movie
has taken tamil/indian movies to the next level. And finally, the
movie is made for TAMIL audience!

I read someone writing this movie might not run in B/C center. But, I
personally felt it will be a huge success in B/C centers.Its guys like
us who have watched all these hollywood movies complain about the
graphics / story / screenplay.From a normal tamil film viewer point of
view this is gonna be a sure visual treat.

The greatest thing about DASA is,

Case 1:
If u see it just as a just another movie, without pondering much about
logic and storyline, looking for entertainment and gloss, you will
love the movie as a COMMERCIAL RACY ENTERTAINER. …!!!

Case 2:
ALSO if u see it in a more INTELLECTUAL ANGLE, U love it EVEN MORE appreciating
KAMAL’s Brilliance …!!!
Well, each movie has its commercial flaws, but there are a hundred
things which you would appreciate in the movie and film making, that
those minuscule flaws are clearly overshadowed.

Case 3:
If u r Midway, Thinking about logic, but not knowing much about CHAOS THEORY AND
BUTTERFLY EFFECT, then u might find the movie damp.
Being mid way is always a problem wherever. No one can be blamed for that !!!

You have to be one of the first two cases not the third one to really
like the movie…!!!

The characters relevance to the real Dasavatharam

Movie has many under depth meanings..

1.Krishna Avatar – Vincent
Lord Krishna Is Actually A Dalit, He Is Dark-Skinned [Shyamalam]. He
Saved Draupadi When She Was Being Violated And He Was The Actual
Diplomat In Mahabharatham. Lord Krishna Dies Of An Arrow Striking His
Lower Leg. Now Look At How Vincent Was Introduced.. He Appears When
Asin Is About To Be Molested And He Saves Her Like Draupadi. Vincent
Is The Dalit Diplomat, Fights For Land Issue [Soil Issue To Be Exact]
And Dies From The Metal Rod Striking His Leg. Oh Even Five Of
Vincent’s Men Are Drugged At P. Vasu’s.. Sounds Familiar???

4.Varaha Avatar – Krishnaveni
During The Mukunda Song, Krishnaveni Paatti Does Varaha Avatar In The
Shadow Puppetry. The Frame Freezes On It For A Second. There Is The

Inside The Statue So As To Protect.

He Kills 21 People Though.

This Is The Most Loose Adaptation I Couldn’t Clearly Comprehend. But
If You Look At The Real Koorma Avatar, The Lord Is The Turtle/Tortoise
That Helps In Stirring The Ksheera Sagara And Bringing Out The Amruth.
This Essentially Creates War Among The Devas And Asuras. Similarly
Today Bush Facilitates War Between You Know Whom… May Be Kamal

Other Aspects

- Camerawork by Ravi Varman was too good to be ignored.
- Despite playing dual roles in the film, Asin hasn’t got much to do
on her part, but her works are really outstanding and in particular
her enunciating the Brahmin style is really mind blowing.

- Mallika Sherawat although not needed for the movie, was there in the
movie just add a commercial gloss and for other very obvious reasons.

- Himesh Reshammiya fails except for “Kallai Mattum” and “Oh Oh Sanam”
- Background music by Devi Sri prasad is excellent.
- K.S. Ravi Kumar has a word of appreciation for Supporting Kamal, not
Directing him.
- Wonderful Editing
- Full marks to the Make up Artist and his team and to Kamal for that.
- A Kamal special ! His usage of Unga Kadavul, unga perumal might not
go well with the theists but I say Unga kamal dhaane..free aa
Vidunga….. .. .

People who complain about the story, make-up and graphics are
expecting tooooo much from an Indian(tamil) movie!! High expectations
are natural because the actor is the GREAT Kamal Hasan. But if someone
is expecting graphics to the standard of ‘Lord of the Rings’ in a
tamil movie, then thats foolish. This movie has got visual effects

This movie has taken tamil/indian movies to the next level.

And finally the movie is made for TAMIL audience! I read someone
writing this movie might not run in B/C center. But, I personally felt
it ll be a huge success in B/C centers. Its guys like us who have
watched all these hollywood movies complain about the graphics/story.
From a normal tamil film viewer point of view this is gonna be a sure
visual treat !!!

I’m not an atheist like Kamal..because my God is Kamal …!!!

Best Regards,

Not a Kamal Fan but Kamal’s Hardwork Fan
