Atlast I have seen the movie and a blog was inevitable but what to write “Its all CHAOS here !!”
My first google search after I saw the movie is “chaos theory”. Obviously I followed the wiki link. There I saw about chaos theory it was all blah blah blah. Didn’t understand anything but found something interesting.
There is a seperate column there named “Chaos theory in media” which has only one movie “Jurrasic Park”.
So I thought let me do one good thing to wiki let me add Dasavathaaram to the list. But was shocked to see that it was once there in the list but was removed.
See this to know why it was removed “Talk:Chaos Theory”
I don’t know what to comments on the following lines which is from the talk.
“If he receives an Oscar next year, we will add the movie to the list. Until then I consider it just linkspam to get any attention to this what ever Tamil language feature film…!?”
This has put me thinking whether Dasavathaaram will win oscar ? Hope hopen

If I have the liberty to comment, I would say 1. the series of events in Dasa have little to do with Chaos theory and more with chance and luck
2. Wiki is still a very ‘Western’ product, so with limited reach of Indian films it will not be accepted easily
3. Oscar? For this film? In very simple down to earth non-negative words, Dasa is like Jalebi being sold by a hawker, prepared in the dust and flies swarming. The CGI and makeup, even if ‘awesome’, are just not good enough and spoilt the film. It’s difficult to see through the downsides of the film. No complaints about Kamal though..

the oscars too are western… they dont represent recognizing world cinema its only western cinema… its sad wiki editors take this as a standard.
On the other hand after seeing dasa its obvious its not a groundbreaking movie either.
and the perception of good cinema differs a lot region to region. u can never have a standard.
