One thing we had noticed is why people didn’t get the real subtext and reason for the various roles and hence the title. If you knew the real dasavatharams of Lord Vishnu and their characters you can appreciate the script more.
Let me explain, starting with the best adapted role:
1. Krishna avatar - Vincent Poovaraghavan Lord krishna is actually a dalit, he is dark-skinned [shyamalam]. He saved draupadi when she was being violated and he was the actual diplomat in mahabharatham. Lord krishna dies of an arrow striking his lower leg. Now look at how vincent was introduced.. he appears when asin is about to be molested and he saves her like draupadi. Vincent is the dalit diplomat, fights for land issue [soil issue to be exact] and dies from the metal rod striking his leg. Oh even five of vincent's men are drugged at P. Vasu's.. sounds familiar???
2. Balarama avatar - Balarama naidu This is an easy given. as the name suggests and the role personifies you can easily get it.

I dont think there is a need to go deep into the movie. I see this movie as a dumb entertaining movie. leave your brain outside the theatre.

"The cancer curing bullet" - this is an example of the butterfly effect. The same is the case with the way the 12th century and 21st century relate. Its again the case of butterfly effect.

Lord Krishna was not Dalit, there was no caste named Dalit during Mahabharata period. There were only 4 castes based on their individual profession during Mahabharata era.
