Cast: Kamal Haasan, Asin, Mallika Sherawat
Direction: K S Ravikumar
EXPERIMENTS aren't always successful. Like Dasavatharam , Kamal Haasan's ambitious venture which sees him playing ten roles which include a take on George Bush too. Daring, we'd like to insist; only the make-up and the fake appearance borders more on the comic. In fact, most of his foreign avtars are funny which include a Chinese martial arts expert and a renegade FBI killer who teams up with pole dancer Mallika Sherawat in a cross-continental chase. And yes, we are supposed to believe Sherawat, pout et al, is a CIA trained operative from Pakistan. The only avtars that actually work are the tough temple priest who is bundled off into the deep blue sea with a deity, an Indian investigator, designed for comic relief and an Indian scientist from the US who must save a deadly vial, manufactured in a US lab, before it destroys mankind. All this, even as Dubya wants to talk to Manmohan Singh!
