The base for Dasavatharam story?
I recently discovered through Thilak that the possible base for Dasavatharam’s story could be a little-known Spanish TV movie named Tempus Fugit. The matches seem too much to ignore:
- Kamal has the remake rights of Tempus Fugit.
- The movie is based on time-travel and Dasavatharam does span centuries.
- A prominent character in Tempus Fugit is a football fan and there is an important scene in a football stadium. Kamal is said to have got permission from Karunanidhi, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, to shoot in the Nehru Stadium of Chennai.
Check out a review of the movie. Now, I’m wondering whether to watch it before Dasavatharam or after…..

June 26th, 2007 at 8:16 am
yes, Dasa’s story is based on time travel. but, the football scene has no relevance here.. anadavar is going to land on a field from a helicopter where a mega function is taking place .. thats why the nehru stadium is chosen..
June 27th, 2007 at 12:52 am
hi Karthikeyan… i,m imagining the scene,which getuplah nama andavar varuvaroh…but sure it will rock with super bgm… Dasa sure rock
June 27th, 2007 at 1:11 am
Who is doing the music? Is it Ilaiyaraja?
June 27th, 2007 at 3:24 am
not ilayaraja…music by himesh Reshmiyah from bolloywood… now he is doing great in hindi… hope he give the best for dasa…
June 27th, 2007 at 5:52 am
a helicopter which is landing in dasavadharam. its for figting scene.
June 27th, 2007 at 9:49 am
Time travel story? I’m scared guys.. coz, TN people won’t understand such high class stories. They’re masked by stupid movies of Rajini and Vijay. Kamal needs lots of efforts to make it commercially successful. Otherwise, Oscar ‘Ravichandran’.. paavam..!!
June 27th, 2007 at 1:13 pm
GUYS ! ALL THIS NEWS IS MAKING ME IMPATIENT. I CAN’T FOR DASA!PYRAMID SAIMIRA IS CURRENTLY THE TOP CONTENDER FOR FOREIGN RIGHTS.
June 27th, 2007 at 1:28 pm
I must say I am disappointed to hear that Himesh will be giving the music — really don’t see what sort of music Himesh will give for a Tamil film; i.e. even if it’s catchy music it will be generic, I suspect, i.e. like his Hindi music only sung in a different language.

@kumar,
please refrain from posting such stupid comments.. oscar ravi is going to earn a profit of atleast 25 crores before the movie’s release..
@randie,
please do not allow such hideous comments
June 28th, 2007 at 8:56 am
dun worry kumar andavar have his own style to make dasa reach makkal easyly… i,m very confident on that and like our fren kartikeyan told oscar will make croressssss before the movie release… guys this year belongs to dasa… no worry on music or direction or anything because our andavar is there… he will prove.. confident guys… dasa sure rock….
June 29th, 2007 at 1:57 am
friends, i’m die-hard fan of kamal. But if his movies are hyped, it becomes flop. Good examples are ‘hey ram’, ‘aalavandhan’ & ‘mumbai express’. Kamal should concentrate on some commercial stuffs also to make producers happy. Investing 50 crores is very high for this movie. thats the worry. Anyway, good luck to kamal and oscar.
June 29th, 2007 at 3:29 am
@kumar,
i didnt say that ur not a fan… oscar ravi knows more than u and me
June 29th, 2007 at 8:29 am
@kumar
//Investing 50 crores is very high for this movie. thats the worry.///
who are u to make this judgement??? oscar ravi is the best producer today.. he make even average movies a big hit…
50 crores is nothing for this movie.. thalaivar’s salary is 10 crores is peanuts… UTV had already offered 85 crores to get the overall rights for DASA in all languages.. do u know that???
please dont call urself a fan of kamal, if u judge a movie even before its release… aandavar knows how to take a vishwa roobam, whenever he wishes to..
June 29th, 2007 at 8:53 am
Let us all pray that ‘dasa’ would be greatest hit. btw, when it is releasaing? August 15 or for Deepavali?
June 29th, 2007 at 11:33 am
kumar sure… dasa will be box office record breaking movie…
most probably deepavali cracking movie
June 29th, 2007 at 12:42 pm
The worries of DV are :
1. Himesh as music director
2. Very high budget - bigger than sivaji’s
But one can safely assume that it will not go the aalavandhaan, hey ram way since it has k.s.ravikumar at the helm who may manage to rein in kamal’s idiosynchrosies.
June 29th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
release date is NOV 8..
the budget is 50 crores.. sottaiji’s budget is 60 crores.. so smitha, please correct ur facts… and dont give some stupd sites as proof for ur claims….
PS: sorry if i seem to be rude…
i just want to post the truth and erase the false perceptions of our fans..
July 2nd, 2007 at 1:17 pm
GUYS!SIVAJI HYPE HAS DIED OUT IN MALAYSIA.NOW EVERYBODY IS LOOKING FOR DASA!I HAVE BAD NEWS,ROBO HAS GONE TO SHAH RUKH KHAN NOT TO ANY TAMIL HEROS. SHANKER RUNNING AWAY?
July 14th, 2007 at 8:33 am
hey siva ur from Malaysia…?i also from Malaysia… DASA sure will rock Malaysia…….. all eye ones DASA now
January 2nd, 2008 at 7:25 pm
And why didnt Illayaraja score for Dasa..Becoz as long as KSRavikumar is there
he wont allow kamal to shake hands with Raja…KSR likes only danda nakka danakku nakka kindaaa music…
