DISNEY BUYS DASAVATHARAM

The whole world is holding its breath, anxiously waiting for the extravaganza on stage on the 13th of June. Seldom does a tamil movie make waves throughout India, the haven for multilingualism. But Kamal Hasan’s Magnum opus, Dasavatharam has managed to do that on a larger magnitude, being possibly the most anxiously awaited Tamil movie ever.

Kollywood climbed a new pedestal on Saturday and Aascar films struck pay dirt. Even as the fans wait for their slice of the fun, Dasavatharam on Saturday, June 07, 2008 went one step higher than any other block buster Tamil movie ever made. The expectations have shot up even higher (if that is possible) after Walt Disney purchased the distribution rights for Canada. Walt Disney has decided to release the movie with as many as 18 prints in North America. Kamal Hasan fans in Canada have finally got their due.

This is the first time in Tamil History that a renowned Hollywood studio of the stature of Walt Disney has come forward to acquire the rights. Kamal Hasan’s efforts have definitely paid off. Kollywood is finally making its mark in the international market. And this is just the beginning. All hail Dr. Kamal Hasan
