My first tamil movie

That title is to say my first tamil movie in a theatre after my marriage which is more than 4 years old. The much-hyped 'Universal Hero' starrer Dasavatharam was released recently and we decided rather unexpectedly to go around &watch it last night. Usually its a Saturday thta we'd go out to watch a movie(ie pre Aditi days) and this time the husband suggested that we go out on the Friday. After feeding and putting Aditi to sleep and packing her night time essentials, we ventured out with high hopes to watch the said movie. Aditi was really too sweet. She slept through out the 3.5 hours or so that we were away. Our neighbour in the movie theatre questioned us on how she slept so peacefully unmindful of the sounds...
The movie started off very well and somewhere half an hour into the movie, it seemed like all too familiar, typical tamil movie.The hero could have chosen to play say 4 roles instead of 10. It seemed all too much and the make-up wasn't up to the mark. Anybody who has watched Indian would have said that the make up was the highlight of the movie, but here it was terrible. Certain make-ups of the hero looked like an improvised fancy dress makeover. I was disappointed to say the least, after all the hype in the media, what with 10 years of research and 2 years of making, the movie definitely did not stand up to its mark or my mark.
There are 2 more posts in draft waiting for some attention from me, but I direct all the time towards the emails/responses in the SBS group, which of course has very intersting stuff happening all the time.
