Dasavatharam from My Eyes
ShAntAkAram bhujaga sayanam padma nAbham surEsam
VishwAdhAram gagana sadrusam megha varNam SubhAngam
Lakshmi kAntam kamala nayanam yOgi hrudyAnagamyam
VandE vishNum bhava bhaya haram sarva lokaika nAthamBeginning of the story flicked my heart terribly, the hardship that King Chola gave on Ramanuja follower, Rangarajan Nambi is heart wrenching. The eagle being Vahana of Lord Shriman Narayana is being arrowed, the Namam that is being wiped from forehead and the way Lord Sri Renganathar being pulled from the temple gives me goosebump till now !! I don’t want to talk much about the storyline as it is very much perfect I would say. Theoretically to understand the story deeply we need to know the actual meaning of Dasavatharam ( Koorma, Matsya, Balaramar, Raman, Parasuram,Varaha,Krishna,Vamana,Narasimha, Kalki) avatars. The movie has good blend of History, Theories , Science, Nature & God. We can plan anything but at the real end GOD conquers everything. Although I don’t belong to Iyengar neither follows Visishtadvaita philosophy ,Im a devotee of Lord Shriman Narayana. My forefather’s belongs to Country-State where Lord ShrimanNarayana is the Ultimate God. The state is rich because of him !!
The story will be eye opener for many, not to diverse too much into Science & technology till it will be NO use to human but only destruction. Western countries are heavily investing money on re-inventing more technologies which will benefit the rich not the poor. We can see and witness in the century itself- Co2 Emmision and global warming. Rapid growth of technologies are shrinking the size of globe, nevertheless destroying the nature and we’re living in "fake" world. There is no word for true love or place for emotional. The best way of living is growing technology at steadfast without forsaking our human values and at the same time don’t leave aside GOD. Atlast HE conquers !!
So guy’s watch the movie and go with a reverse psycology, try to understand the story.. Do some research on Butterfly effect & mathematical equations. It would help.
Ultimately & ironically the actual HERO of the STORY is OUR LORD SHRIMANARAYANA!
Atheist may not agree with me, anyway It’s OK. My blog , my space 
Nice movie. I enjoyed it and as what Kamal mentioned in this movie…”it would be nice if there is a GOD”…..
Personally, i feel like people today live their life as if there is no GOD although they pray day-in, day-out and still do whatever their religion asked them not to do……so, it would be nice if there is GOD so that one will fear the sin no matter how small it is.
Anbe Sivam.

Tiban, I totally agree with you. Limitation is they just take our religious and god for
granted . There are many depth liner in this movie, not easy to catch.
ie why does the vial need to go into the idol ? Why must Tsunami happen at the same time
the vial is exposed ? So many doubts tht need to be think off, I find the story isn’t very
cinematic but eye opener as well.
I watched the movie twice and might want to go again untill i get the grasp of it.
