Dasavatharam objected by VHP

It seems the VHP people has objections towards the Dasavatharam movie. This movie is scheduled for release in the next one or two months. As kamal's fans were eagerly awaiting the release of the film after its grandeur audio launch last week, prominent Hindu outfit Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has menaced to stall the screening of the film in theatres as it contained some objectionable references.

The VHP sees red over the film reportedly containing the clash between
vaishanvite and saivite saints during the 16th century AD and wanted Ulaga Nayagan to remove such scenes in the film.VHP International Working President S Vedantham claimed ''we have information that the film contains the 16th century clash between saivites and vaishnavites during which idols were damaged.''

''If these objectionable portions are not removed, the VHP will stall screening of the films and will also stage agitations before the theatres,'' he said. However, film producer Oscar V Ravichandran was not available for his comments, and this is not the first time that a kamal's film was entangled in a controversy.

Movie Review, "KURUVI"

This film was a big expectation for everyone, since the same “ghillli” team has involved in this movie. “Vijay+Dharani+Thrisha” is the major reason for this big expectation too.And to begin, let me put it in a nut shell, If you go to see Kuruvi with lowered expectations, you may end up liking it. But those who are looking for big build-up sequences and large Ghilli-like payoffs - stay away.

Scaling high-rise buildings, bowing down to bullets elegantly, Kuruvi opens with Vijay in his best nonchalant style, sending his fans into raptures. If the same care and hard work that had gone into rendering a weighty build up for Vijay had also been employed in the story department, it would have been a Ghilli-like encore for this team. As it happens, Kuruvi flies short of Ghilli. Vijay having to free his father and his colleagues who have been trapped as slaves under villains Ashish Vidyarthi and Suman forms the crux of Kuruvi. The director has attempted to ride on the twin horses of action and comedy, moving the film at a very rapid pace, while simultaneously depicting Vijay at his humorous best. However, his objective seems to be too elusive and the film sags at various levels. Ashish Vidyarthi and Suman are compatriots in the quarry business who have given out a contract to Vijay's dad, Manivannan, in Cudappa, Andhra Pradesh. Diamonds that are otherwise only found in Africa are said to be located in this area, but the government issues a ban to excavate the place owing to the risk of earthquakes. But the baddies force Manivannan to go against the law and make him and his group bonded laborers. Manivannan challenges the villains that his son would avenge him once he learns of this. But the hero, who is in Chennai, thinks that his dad has gone under cover due to debts and is hopeful of his return one day. Meanwhile, a cheque for fifty lacs that Manivannan had issued as collateral towards the house, bounces-forcing Vijay to vacate their house. Vijay asks the landlords a week's time to pay back the money and sets out on a mission to Malaysia to find the person whose signature is on the cheque.

He travels to Malaysia as a kuruvi- one who is used as a runner to carry and bring back goods. There he runs into Suman's residence. A scuffle with him results in Vijay stealing Suman's diamond in a Zorro-like costume which leaves Trisha,-Suman's sister, in a mesmerizing trance. She promptly falls in love. Along with her brother, she lands in Chennai in search of Vijay. Each of them search, but with different objectives. How the lead stars reach their respective goals forms the rest of the story.

Producer Udhaynidhi has spent generously which is perceptible in the lavish sets, colorful junior artists, graphics etc. Dharani's favorite music composer Vidyasagar's tunes are already a hit and the melodious 'then then' number is a revelation, both visually and acoustically. Trisha is at her glamorous best. Ashish Vidyarthi and Suman do not have meaty enough roles to prove their mettle. Camera work and editing is slick. Vivek, who accompanies Vijay, provides occasional comic relief. And this is the simple gist of the story. Of course this is a typical commercial cum masala movie carved for Vijay. Lets wait and listen to the crowd’s opinion. But Vijay is obviously a crowd-puller.

Dasavatharam, a religious maze!


Ulaga Nayagan kamal is seemed to do a role of ramanujar in the movie. The movie starts off with the 14th century. This movie directed by K.S.R with Kamal in 10 different getups is ready for release soon. The audio release of the film was conducted amidst much fanfare recently. However the film appears to have caught itself on the wrong foot now with V.H.P. It has been said that the film has portrayed the clash between Saivism and Vaishnavism which prevailed in the 16th century in the film in an objectionable manner. It is reported that many statues of Hindu Gods have been shown to be destroyed which are highly controversial and hurt the sentiments of Hindus all over the world.

While condemning such scenes, VHP leader Vedantham had stated that the scenes in question be removed soon failing which they will be holding agitations in front of the theatres where the film would be screened. It is expected that the concerned authorities will look into the matter and the issue will be solved amicably. But this effort of kamal(10 Roles) would the prove of supremacy indian cinema over the hollywood. The V.H.P people must not agitate against the movie.
