dasavatharam_____WHY THIS NAME 4 THE FILM

PLEASE READ THIS AFTER U WATCH THE MOVIE One thing we had noticed is why people didnt get the real subtext and reason for the various roles and hence the title.
If you knew the real dasavatharams of Lord Vishnu and their characters you can appreciate the script more. Let me explain, starting with the best adapted role:

1. Krishna avatar - Vincent Poovaraghavan
Lord krishna is actually a dalit, he is dark-skinned [shyamalam]. He saved draupadi when she was being violated and he was the actual diplomat in mahabharatham. Lord krishna dies of an arrow striking his lower leg. Now look at how vincent was introduced.. he appears when asin is about to be molested and he saves her like draupadi. Vincent is the dalit diplomat, fights for land issue [soil issue to be exact] and dies from the metal rod striking his leg. Oh even five of vincent's men are drugged at P. Vasu's.. sounds familiar???

2. Balarama avatar - Balarama naidu
This is an easy given. as the name suggests and the role personifies you can easily get it.

3. Mathsya avatar - Ranagaraja nambi
nambi is thrown into water in an act of trying to save lord from being thrown into sea, though vainly. what more clue do you want?

4. Varaha avatar - Krishnaveni paatti
During the mukunda song, krishnaveni paatti does varaha avatar in the shadow puppetry. The frame freezes on it for a second. there is the clue. Moreover, in varaha avatar lord actually hides earth so as to protect life forms. Here too krishnaveni hides the germs - life form inside the statue so as to protect.

5. Vamana avatar - Kalifulla khan
remember in vamana avatar, lord vishnu takes the vishvaroopa, that is the giant form! Hence the giant kalifulla here symbolises vamana avatar.

6. Parasurama avatar - Christian Fletcher
Parasurama is actually on an angry killing spree and killed 21 generations of the particular kshatriya vamsa. Hence the real KILLER... Guess what thats what our Fletcher is! He comes around with the gun [modern upgrade for axe] and kills everyone around. I have to check if he kills 21 people though. :-D

7. Narasimha avatar - Shingen Narahashi
first of all the name itself is a play on the words singam [means lion in tamil] and narasimha [the avatar being symbolised]. Lord Narasimha manifests himelf to kill the bad guy and he also teaches prahaladha. In the movie, he shows up to kill the killer fletcher! and is also a teacher.. Lord Narasimha had to kill the asura with bare hands and hence the martial arts exponent here.. get it?

8. Rama avatar - Avatar Singh
Lord Rama stands for the one man one woman maxim, kind of symbolising true love.. Here Avatar portrays that spirit by saying that he loves his woman more than anything and wants to live for her.

9. Kalki avatar - Govindaraj Ramasamy
As you know, the hero in kaliyug can be none other than the Kalki avatar!!!

10. Koorma avatar - Bush
This is the most loose adaptation I couldn't clearly comprehend. But if you look at the real koorma avatar, the lord is the turtle/tortoise that helps in stirring the ksheera sagara and bringing out the amruth. This essentially creates war among the devas and asuras. Similarly today Bush facilitates war between you know whom... May be Kamal also indicates that this avatar is a bit dumb like the tortoise...

EMINEM -the rapper

Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972), better known by his stage name Eminem, is an Oscar and nine time Grammy Award winning American rapper, record producer, and actor. Having sold over seventy million albums worldwide, Eminem is one of the highest-selling rappers of all time and the best selling rapper alive. Eminem was discovered by rapper and producer Dr. Dre, who later signed Mathers to his record label, Aftermath Entertainment.

Eminem is praised for his "verbal energy" and high quality of lyricism. However, he is often infamous for the controversy surrounding many of these lyrics. With the success of his highly acclaimed music, and its subsequent nomination for multiple Grammy awards including Album of the Year, critics such as GLAAD denounced his lyrics as homophobic and misogynist, while others claimed that it promoted violence.

In 2006, MTV ranked Eminem at #9 on their list of "The Greatest MCs of All Time".

Ki Aditi Woh Jo Bichadte Hain Ik Na Ik Din Fir Mil Jate

Yeh Aditi Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na Phool Fir Khil Jate Hain


Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi Me Yun Hi Koi Apna Lagta Hai

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Who Bichad Jaye Toh Ek Sapna Lagta Hai

Hey Aditi Has De Has De Has De Has De Tu Zara--------------------

Nahi Toh Bas Thoda Thoda Thoda Muskura-------------------------

A.R. Rahman's music school launched in Chennai

Music maestro A.R. Rahman’s "KM Music Conservatory" was formally launched in Chennai on March 12 in the presence of renowned musicians from across the country and abroad.The school is temporarily located in Rahman’s studio in the City. It will shift to a three to five-acre campus on a quiet environment. The campus will have class rooms, a concert hall, a recording studio and residential accommodation for the faculty and students. The project is expected to be completed in two years.The school would offer three important courses: a part-time two-times-a-week preparatory programme for anyone with no age limit; a foundation course for beginners and a two-year diploma course for advanced study after the foundation course.The first batch will start in June 2008 with 150 students. ( About 200 applications have already been received). All admissions are through auditions. The fee structure is being finalized. Indian students will be charged a concessional fee. A 50 percent scholarship from Rahman’s Foundation will be offered to students considering their talent and economic background. T. Selvakumar is the managing director of KM Music Conservatory. Besides Rahman, others present on the occasion included Ms.Vendy Paar (violin trainer), Pushkar (composer-cum-conductor), and violin maestro Dr. L. Subramaniam (hon. adviser), Gulam Mustafa Khan (Hindustani vocalist), Randel Giles (composer from US), Lendis Lav (violinist from Czechoslovakia), Srinivas Krishnan (professor) and Murtaza Khan.Rahman’s objective is to create an authentic Indian orchestra or symphony that not only sounds distinctly Indian but also blends various aspects of Indian culture and bhakti, which "is at the heart of orchestral symphony".Rahman said the KM Music Conservatory is the first step and that it would serve as a bridge between music, technology and culture. "We want our Hindustani and Carnatic musicians to be able to read Western notations and adapt to playing with other musicians." Explaining why the school is called "KM Conservatory", Rahman said these initials are spiritually close to him and have brought him good luck. A project like this is a necessity for a country of 1.4 billion people who do not have their own national symphony orchestra when even small countries have their national orchestra, according to him. He observed that orchestral sound is probably the future of film music.Asked if this project would not affect his career in the film industry, Rahman said, "Not at all. I am doing just two films a year, so I guess I should have all the time." Dr. L. Subramaniam said, "It is a courageous and brilliant start. It’s going to give a lot of opportunities to groom our own talent and give them adequate exposure to other cultures through a holistic approach to music."
