தசாவதாரம் - வருது வருது

What would be the best betting ticket at the moment for Tamil movie fans? தசாவதாரம் - வருது வருது...

What are the odds on Dasavatharam releasing on 6/13/2008? Your guess is as good as mine. In the superstition driven Kollywood world, I am surprised that they picked Friday, the 13th as the release date. Who cares, at this point, all that the Kamal fans want will be the actual movie release, period.

Meanwhile, the movie is getting huge publicity in US just ahead of the release date. Chicago fans did their own celebration ahead of the release by arranging for a தோசாவதாரம், more here.

A special preview show is scheduled in the Los Angeles area to screen this movie on June/12/2008, ahead of the actual release date, similar to the one we had for Sivaji - the Boss. I am not as excited for this movie as I did for Sivaji (paid extra bucks to watch the special preview show) so I am planning to watch the movie either on June 13th or 14th. The lack in enthusiasm can be attributed to several reasons: the annoying delay in release (from music to actual movie), not so impressive music to name a few. I am just hoping this doesn't turn out to be Kamal's "BABA". I am hoping for K.S.Ravikumar's magic more than Kamal's brilliance.

Hopefully it will be a good entertainer!
