Before the review, here is an interview with Kamal Haasan.

Sendai:
What is your next movie ?
Kamal :
My next movie is a soft porn flick where I play the guy and the girl in bed. We have tried to make this movie as real as possible.
Sendai:
..err 'as real as possible' ? Are you going to show... {interrupted}
Kamal :
Yes.
Sendai:
That is 'real' scary. Anyway, Is there a story?

Yes. It is about a guy who understands the meaning of life after he goes to bed with this girl who was a guy before he got operated.
Sendai:
Is there a story?
Kamal :
It is about life and ..{interrupted}
Sendai:
Thanks for the interview.

First things first - dont watch this movie. No, really!

Why would someone want to do 10 different roles? What was he trying to do? Save money? By investing 140 Crores? ( I think this whole production was a scam.. the movie probably took less than 2 crores to make - because there is Kamal everywhere).

The cardinal thing when you play 10 different characters, who look different, is makeup. But, in this movie, makeup is outright BAD.
Because, apart from playing the 10 characters, Kamal also:
1. Did makeup
2. Wrote Songs
3. Directed the stunts
4. Did the music
5. Wrote the story
6. Screenplay
7. Directed the movie
8. Had a child whose mother is himself
9. Had a failed brain transplant from a goat.

But, he did'nt watch the movie!
I thought 10 years after Bharateeyudu (Indian), makeup would have improved. But Kamal used the same stone-age makeup. (Again, trying to save money). The villan's makeup is the crappiest of them all. Oh btw, the villan is basically T-101 from Terminator 2, who is also does all the bike stunts like the T1000. Anyway, relief finally came when I realized that the heroine was not Kamal. But wait - worse things happened. Mallika Sherawat. What can be more ugly than Mallika Sherawat? That too with clothes!

Negatives : bad CGI, bad casting, bad story, and :
bad makeup, bad makeup, bad makeup, bad makeup, bad makeup, bad makeup, bad makeup, bad makeup, bad makeup, bad makeup. (that is 10 times, including the real kamal w/o makeup)
Positives : patient audience waiting in hope..

this movie should be used in 'stress tests' by a cardiologist (or/& psychiatrist). He can replace the tread mill with a big screen playing Dasavatharam. However, I do know of a state where this movie will be a big hit..

I was told only Kamal had a failed brain transplant... Drat! they lied!

Besides, I should consider your suggestion. It sounds like a lot of adventure than watching dasavatharam.
