Kamal Haasan in 10 different roles. 10 different roles mean 10 different stories. 10 different stories mean more than 3 hours of filmed entertainment. Does it sound exciting? Take a guess!

When you buy a ticket of DASHAVTAR [dubbed Hindi version], you also wish you would’ve taken the writer of this film along, who knows the film inside out, because it’s very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very [10 times!] difficult to decipher what’s going on, what this marrrrrrrrrrathon film actually wants to convey.

Write your own movie review of Dashavtar

The problem [and it's a big problem here!] is, well, Kamal Haasan’s 10 roles, which are linked in a chain. The writer has to do justice to each of them, right? But barring the scientist and the ex CIA officer, the remaining parts make zilch impact.

DASHAVTAR has a screenplay of convenience. Perhaps, the writer’s sole intention was to project Kamal Haasan in 10 different roles and prove how versatile an actor he is. Whether the screenplay would make sense or not is not important, actually.

To cut a really lonnnnnnnnnnng story short, DASHAVTAR is an unbearable experience. Watch 10 different classics of this great actor instead of this 10-in-1 film.

DASHAVTAR begins in the ancient times and shifts to 2004. A computer chip containing a dangerous biological material goes missing from a lab in America. A scientist, Govind, well aware of the dangers, launches a hunt for the missing material, which takes him to India.

DASHAVTAR is more of an exercise to prove that Kamal Haasan can carry off 10 different roles. But in an effort to do so, the writing takes a complete backseat. There are so many loopholes in the screenplay, it’s unbelievable. Either the writer doesn’t know what screen writing is all about or he has decided to take the viewer for granted.

The only time you want to compliment the writer is, when he comes up with a cure for cancer. A bullet in your chest can throw the tumour out of your body. Bravo!

Himesh Reshammiya’s music is of fast-forward quality. Barring the ‘Mukunda’ track, the remaining songs are hard on your ear drums. The action scenes are very gimmicky.

Of the 10 roles, Kamal Haasan appeals only as the ex CIA agent. However, the makeup looks fake for a few characters. Asin is terrible. She irritates after a point. Mallika Sherawat suits her role. She’s good. Jaya Pradha is wasted. What did she see in this role?

On the whole, DASHAVTAR is a poor show all the way. Hugely disappointing!

Mumbai, Sonam Kapoor is all for getting into the commercial groove after doing off-beat films and says she won’t mind playing Lara Dutta’s role in “No Entry” or Priyanka Chopra’s character in “Dostana”. But she is clear that she doesn’t want to be seen as just “arm candy” in song and dance sequences.

“I’m all game for doing movies that are set in commercial parlance,” said Sonam, who is choosing her projects carefully.

“It’s a misconception that after films like ‘Saawariya’ and ‘Delhi-6′, I’m only looking at films with serious overtones. All I look for is meat in my role.”

“See, I have never looked down upon hardcore commercial cinema. It’s just that I never wish to be an arm candy who does four songs, a couple of scenes and then vanishes …

Mumbai, Actress-politician Hema Malini, who is busy campaigning for the ongoing Lok Sabha polls, catches her breath to remember Feroz Khan and says he was the only colleague to use an endearment for her and give her a sensuous avatar in his hit film “Dharmatma”.

“He was the first and last man who called me ‘baby’. No one has ever dared. I wish they would. What a suave man he was,” Hema told IANS.

“When I agreed to do ‘Dharmatma’ he made it very clear I was there in the first-half only. He said, ‘You can’t say no, baby!’ That was a new experience for me. My mother was more shocked than I was. With everyone addressing me as ‘ji’ it feels nice if someone comes up with a term of endearment.

“Earlier this week I was in Darjeeling campaigning when …

Mumbai, John Abraham, Bipasha Basu and Katrina Kaif were also chosen to participate in filmmaker Karan Johar’s vote campaign video. But at the last moment, the trio couldn’t be a part of it for various reasons.

“That’s true. Earlier on, John and Bipasha were all set to be a part of this video that has been created to spread awareness around voting this election season. Even Katrina was finalised but in the final scheme of things, we had to shoot the video without them. Such a pity,” said director Tarun Mansukhani.

The “Vote Aapke Haath Mein Hai” video finally starred Abhishek Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapur, Imran Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Asin, Ritiesh Deshmukh, Farhan Akhtar, Sonam Kapoor and Karan himself.

Mumbai, He played a painter in the thriller “Raaz - The Mystery Continues” and he will once again essay the role in “Tum Miley”. But Emraan Hashmi will this time get to actually paint to look convincing on screen.

“This time I actually paint. In ‘Raaz’, I wasn’t really able to do much of that. All the paintings were done beforehand and I didn’t get a chance to paint on screen apart from a few strokes,” Emraan told IANS.

In “Tum Miley”, Emran’s newly-discovered painting skills will go a lot further.

“I’m shown to be a far more intricate painter, doing not just brush painting but also charcoal, etc. Here I can’t fake it. I’m using all the skills that I learnt as a painter in ‘Raaz’ for ‘Tum Miley’,” the actor explained.

Emraan says he …

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, who co-owns the Indian Premier League (IPL) team Rajasthan Royals, had a brush with on-field action when she teamed up with cricketers to learn a few tips.

She tried to learn some basics about the game from Graeme Smith and Shane Warne, the members of her team, but soon she was left out of breath.

“It was a fun day… Graeme (Smith) taught me how to bat and Shane (Warne) taught me how to spin the ball! We played for a bit and after I ran four times between the wickets I was gasping for breath,” Shilpa posted on her blog from Cape Town.

“Now I respect my cricketers more, wonder how they do it, handling all that pressure, gawd! We actors have it easier, at least we get retakes… anyway it’s still a thankless job when they lose,” she added.
