Movie Review: Dasaavathaaram

I saw the much awaited and much hyped Dasaavathaaram over the weekend. The theatre was full. It is entertaining and not at all boring. Action packed. The make up of Kamal Hassan is good. You don't think of him when u see Balram Naidu or Teri Fletcher ( think that's what he is called). But you do wonder why some of the characters have so much pancake on their faces. It does look slightly unnatural. But then again you don't have too much time to think.
Mallika Sherawat does justice to her role.
The music is by Himesh Reshammiyya. I do like some of Himesh's songs. But feel that probably Rahman, Sankar Ehsan & Loy or Ilaiyaraja could have done the music for this movie.
Kids below 14 may find it violent. Lots of killing..that's needed I guess to allow Kamal to don 10 different roles,aye? But would I see it again. Maybe not.

Rating: ***

Update: I asked a 13 yr old why he could watch a superhero movie where people die, but closed his eyes when he saw people dying in Dasaavathaaram.
A: He said he did not like the " violence", the way the people were getting killed was a bit too much.
