Hassan @ MindSay 
I am just back after seeing Dasavathaaram @ Calicut!
My verdict – Kamal Hassan is a creative genious, He is a superb actor, He is a brilliant artist – but the movie could have been better!
Cast:
Kamal, Kamal, Kamal, Kamal, Kamal, Kamal, Kamal, Kamal, Kamal, Kamal
(Ok I got 10 of him 
) Asin, Asin (Thats two of her), Mallika Sherawat, Metti Oli Bhaskar, Napolean, Kavithalai Radhakrishnan, comedy time Chiiti babu, Nagesh, KR Vijaya and few others…
Story Line:
This is a big question!!?? But let me still try to make a fair attempt.
In short, the movie starts off with the bio-scientist “Govind Ramaswamy” (Kamal), working in the USA (where else!) and he is part of the team that produces bio-weapon. His boss sells the deadly virus developed for the sake of tons and tons of dollars. So the mission “Kamal” is on is to protect this deadly bio-virus from getting into the hands of the enemies “Fletcher” (Kamal again). This virus is in small chocolate-sized box and somehow gets from USA to India and the story revolves around this concept.
The story line to very complicated woven – The team has tried to highlight a lot of stuff into the single story – Religion, Bio-Weapon, Tsunami, Illegal stealing of sand, Cancer, Celebrity’s life, US supremacy and I don’t now what all I missed! Was mind boggling – a little tiring for the brain, as it had to keep working the whole 3 hrs!
Just toooooooo many things to swallow 
I have to make a mention of the damsels in the movie
Asin – sweet! Plays her character, which is actually a very irritating girl othodox Tam Braham who talks a lot. Looks good! (psst: No romance at all…..)
Mallika Sherawat – We all know why she was in the movie. Does her job perfectly fine !! 
But she is killed in the middle of the movie… 
The DASAVATHARAM (10 roles/faces) Dr. Kamal Hassan plays in the movie:
*Rangarajan – An Iyengar
*Govind Ramaswamy – Bio- Scientist 
*Fletcher – The Bad man!
*Naidu – Investigator (He truly captures the heart!!)
*Boovaragan – A down-to-earth man
*Mrs. Krishaveni – An old woman
*One Japanese Guy (I don’t remember his name!)
*Kaimal - A muslim guy
* Mr Avataar – A pop singer
*George W Bush – American President!!
Hats off to Kamal Hassan!
Salute to his HUGE effort on make –up!
Salute to the research he has done to play his characters!
Salute to tremendous effort he has taken to talk different languages rather different dialects of of the language! Truly Impressive! Hats off! Naidu character – wow!
How could I not talk about the songs by Himesh Reshammiya. Foot tapping numbers - but could have been pictured better. The only song that looks good on scene is "Mukundha Mukundha" - cute!
There are a lot of flaws in the movie, which could have been corrected, but somehow, I feel they are deliberate, which irks me more. Kamal is a perfectionist – He has to fulfill the high hopes of his fans. 
Just to name a few follies - This biotech guy works in the US Laboratory and in his meeting, he talks in Tamil and asks his colleague to translate to the rest – but thru the rest of the movie, he talks English! Damn! The American president is the only one guy in this office who attempts the US accent, the rest of the office speaks Indian accent! There are many, just enjoy them in the movie! 
Whatever said and done - Kamal thanThala !! 
Nobody to beat his talents!
