I had heard great deal about this movie even before I watched it. The last movie which had so much of pre-release and post release hype was SIVAJI-THE BOSS. So I went to a packed screening of the movie along with my parents. a complete iyer family day out.
The first 15 minutes of the movie is by far the best part of the entire movie. Kamal Haasan is clearly one of the most accompolished and talented actors that I have seen. I do not think that any one can ever atempt a movie like this (yes accepted Shivaji Gneshan did 9 roles, even betterr than Kamal Haasan). No one has the balls to play 10 different characters in the same movie. No one can suffer from such a delusion.
A very thought provoking concept describing the existence of a super design A God that has planned our fate and destiny. The movie in this regard is fantastic.
But now for the criticism. The movie honestly, could have been better. At times leading up to the climax the movie meanders needlessly to a concert, to a blood donating good samartian. If more detailed attention was paid to show an even greater linking between the characters it would have been a far better movie. Though the fact that everything came together in the end (I guess that was the point of the movie anyways).
It did manage to keep a fine balance between being a commercial blockbluster and a thought provoking movie. Cheers to Mr Kamal Haasan. Now if Aamir could try something like this.
