RE:Dashavataram

This has nothing to do with the film. But I feel, it's an eyesore to watch the likes of Kamal, Rajini, Vijaykanth, Sarath Kumar, Satyaraj, etc., still doing hero's role, unsuccesfully covering their necks, avoiding closeups even during song sequences and acting opposite heroines half their age. The heroines look more like their daughters and not their partners. The situation is no better in other languages either. I'd prefer they doing roles to suit their age and impressing the viewers even in those roles. Like, Raj Kiran winning over Cheran by miles with his performance in a dad's role or, like our own Charu sir donning the role of a postman in `Thabarane Kathe' (`hope, I spelt the name right!)

I'm sure, many Kamal fans here may not share my views. But like others, he too can not hide his 50 age despite hi-fi makeup and the closeup scenes are sure going to be an eyesore with all those wrinkles on his face and neck. He sure is an excellent actor and no doubt, he can do justice even if he dons a role of an elder brother or a dad (to Asin or Mallika Sherawat).
