Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express This three hour-and-some more extravaganza, blitzed by some mind-blowing special effects, starts feeling stretched much too soon. Apr 18, 2016 Full Review Nikhat Kazmi The Times of India It has a feel of kitsch, despite the director's attempts to sculpt it as a racy thriller. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 18, 2016 Full Review Malathi Rangarajan The Hindu Dasavathaaram shows that Kamal Haasan has once again taken great pains to make his cinematic projects convincing. The effort has paid off. Apr 18, 2016 Full Review Joey O'Bryan L.A. Weekly No shortage of violent action, wacky comedy and, of course, musical numbers - a three-hour head rush of cinematic delirium that couldn't have been made anywhere else in the world.

arun s It was a good time pass movie. The screenplay and overall presentation is clear and easily understandable. Where the movie gets it a bit wrong is that the Afghan character feels unnecessary to the scope of the story. Kamal hassan should have limited himself to playing just 6 characters and given the other characters like the old lady, Afghan guy, music composer to others. Once the initial mission of getting back the biochemical vial was established, unnecessary scenes in the later hald should have been done away with. Yet unfortunately for the sake of satisfying the mass audience, those scenes were there.
