Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 04/18/2016
This three hour-and-some more extravaganza, blitzed by some mind-blowing special effects, starts feeling stretched much too soon. Go to Full Review Nikhat Kazmi The Times of India 04/18/2016
2.5/5
It has a feel of kitsch, despite the director's attempts to sculpt it as a racy thriller. Go to Full Review Malathi Rangarajan The Hindu 04/18/2016
Dasavathaaram shows that Kamal Haasan has once again taken great pains to make his cinematic projects convincing. The effort has paid off. Go to Full Review Joey O'Bryan L.A. Weekly 06/19/2008
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Arun S 12/07/2019 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.
