Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Apr 18, 2016
This three hour-and-some more extravaganza, blitzed by some mind-blowing special effects, starts feeling stretched much too soon. Go to Full Review
Nikhat Kazmi The Times of India Apr 18, 2016
2.5/5
It has a feel of kitsch, despite the director's attempts to sculpt it as a racy thriller. Go to Full Review
Malathi Rangarajan The Hindu Apr 18, 2016
Dasavathaaram shows that Kamal Haasan has once again taken great pains to make his cinematic projects convincing. The effort has paid off. Go to Full Review

4/5
All in all, Dasavathaaram as an extraordinary effort. Go to Full Review
Shobha Warrier Rediff.com Apr 18, 2016
In Dasavathaaram, there is no solid story and there is nothing to connect the various characters that popped up with plaster of paris pasted on their faces. Go to Full Review

As a Kamal admirer, I left the hall disappointed. Amid all the grandeur of a massive canvas, I missed the soul. Go to Full Review

Jun 15, 2014 My Rating: 2.5/5 stars; Grade: C+; Gesture: Thumbs Sideways; Status: Mediocre or So-So (Rotten); Emoticon: :-|.

See more May 4, 2012 "spectacular" and a "super human effort" See more Jan 26, 2012 One man's exercise in arrogance = 3 hours of my life wasted. Thank you Kamal Hassan See more Mar 20, 2011 The film starts off with an incident that occurs in the 12th century when Shaivite intolerance against Vaishnavites was at its peak. An ardent Vishnu devotee loses his life to save the idol of Lord Ranganatha. Kamal plays his first role of Vishnu devotee Rangarajan in this episode which is marked by excellent technical work and the actor's extraordinary performance. From here, the film goes to a time when the whole world is on the brink of a biological warfare waged by terrorists. Actively opposing them is the American president who urges the rest of the world to combat this evil. Meanwhile, a computer chip containing a vicious biological material goes missing from a laboratory in the United States. An in-house scientist Govinda [Images] (again played by Kamal Haasan) who is aware of the dangers of the material launches a hunt for the missing material, which takes him to India. In the course of the hunt for the missing chip, Kamal takes on eight more characters and travels to many continents. a very different movie from the south indian cinema. i liked it but it was very weird but visually stunning i had good time.
