I am just back after seeing Dasavathaaram @ Calicut!
My verdict – Kamal Hassan is a creative genious, He is a superb actor, He is a brilliant artist – but the movie could have been better!
Cast:
Kamal, Kamal, Kamal, Kamal, Kamal, Kamal, Kamal, Kamal, Kamal, Kamal
(Ok I got 10 of him 
) Asin, Asin (Thats two of her), Mallika Sherawat, Metti Oli Bhaskar, Napolean, Kavithalai Radhakrishnan, comedy time Chiiti babu, Nagesh, KR Vijaya and few others…
Story Line:
This is a big question!!?? But let me still try to make a fair attempt.
In short, the movie starts off with the bio-scientist “Govind Ramaswamy” (Kamal), working in the USA (where else!) and he is part of the team that produces bio-weapon. His boss sells the deadly virus developed for the sake of tons and tons of dollars. So the mission “Kamal” is on is to protect this deadly bio-virus from getting into the hands of the enemies “Fletcher” (Kamal again). This virus is in small chocolate-sized box and somehow gets from USA to India and the story revolves around this concept.
The story line to very complicated woven – The team has tried to highlight a lot of stuff into the single story – Religion, Bio-Weapon, Tsunami, Illegal stealing of sand, Cancer, Celebrity’s life, US supremacy and I don’t now what all I missed! Was mind boggling – a little tiring for the brain, as it had to keep working the whole 3 hrs!
Just toooooooo many things to swallow 
I have to make a mention of the damsels in the movie
Asin – sweet! Plays her character, which is actually a very irritating girl othodox Tam Braham who talks a lot. Looks good! (psst: No romance at all…..)
Mallika Sherawat – We all know why she was in the movie. Does her job perfectly fine !! 
But she is killed in the middle of the movie… 
The DASAVATHARAM (10 roles/faces) Dr. Kamal Hassan plays in the movie:
*Rangarajan – An Iyengar
*Govind Ramaswamy – Bio- Scientist 
*Fletcher – The Bad man!
*Naidu – Investigator (He truly captures the heart!!)
*Boovaragan – A down-to-earth man
*Mrs. Krishaveni – An old woman
*One Japanese Guy (I don’t remember his name!)
*Kaimal - A muslim guy
* Mr Avataar – A pop singer
*George W Bush – American President!!
Hats off to Kamal Hassan!
Salute to his HUGE effort on make –up!
Salute to the research he has done to play his characters!
Salute to tremendous effort he has taken to talk different languages rather different dialects of of the language! Truly Impressive! Hats off! Naidu character – wow!
How could I not talk about the songs by Himesh Reshammiya. Foot tapping numbers - but could have been pictured better. The only song that looks good on scene is "Mukundha Mukundha" - cute!
There are a lot of flaws in the movie, which could have been corrected, but somehow, I feel they are deliberate, which irks me more. Kamal is a perfectionist – He has to fulfill the high hopes of his fans. 
Just to name a few follies - This biotech guy works in the US Laboratory and in his meeting, he talks in Tamil and asks his colleague to translate to the rest – but thru the rest of the movie, he talks English! Damn! The American president is the only one guy in this office who attempts the US accent, the rest of the office speaks Indian accent! There are many, just enjoy them in the movie! 
Whatever said and done - Kamal thanThala !! 
Nobody to beat his talents!

Presented by Inspired movies UK & Motion pictures partner International in association with alpha media, 'Chocolate' is produced by Vibha and Ragini from Spice Team Entertainments who have earlier come up with mushy romantic tales - 'Kaun Hai Jo Sapno Mein Aaya' and 'Shukriya'.
'Chocolate' is about seven distinct individuals who cross paths with each other on the streets of London. The time is Christmas when the world is having a gala time. There is peace, there is joy, there is snow and there are festivities. But not so for two Indians who are put behind the bars for no fault of theirs by the London police. Why?
Because there has been a crime and some bizarre incidents. Because someone out there is a mastermind behind all this. Because someone needs to be punished !!
There are number of plots and subplots behind the actual crime...and the events that follow. Because 'Chocolate' is not about 7 ordinary individuals. It is about those men and women who seem just 'normal' in the 'ordinary' circumstances. But is everything about them as 'normal' as it appears? Or are there some 'deep dark secrets' that they are carrying with them? Are there some hidden skeletons in the closet that threaten to pop out?
Meet the people who are going to make 'Chocolate', an innovatively titled crime thriller cum comedy (that is touted to be a complete entertainer with right commercial ingredients) to make it one of the most awaited movie of 2005.
Anil Kapoor [as Krish] leads the starcast as a debonair lawyer who is the best in the business. He is sharp, he is intelligent and he has a flair for cigars. A popular player in the game of law, his main strength [or is it his weakness] is to say 'YES' to any challenge that comes his way. Call it his ego, but this time the challenge is threatening enough to even shake Krish.
But is he shaken?
Suniel Shetty, who is taking a wise decision to act in (huge) multi-starrers now, stars as Rocker. His body and mind work in close coordination. If his mind boils, his body flares up too. Result? No one messes around with him. And if someone does [especially with his girl], then God save the poor man. A strong willed (read muscled) man, he gets he wants.
But is he going to succeed in his latest endeavor?
Arshad Warsi, who has rose like a phoenix on this side of the millennium after an insipid 90s gets to play a playboy once again in quick succession after a flirtatious 'Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya'. He is Tubby who loves to sing'n'dance and couple the excitement with the lethal combination of sex and drugs. Playing around with his life day in and night out, he is too carefree to have even forgotten the very basic essence of life.
But will the circumstances make him wiser?
Irrfan Khan, who appears to be only 'stable' character out of the various players in the game, is innovatively known as Pipi. Pipi, who is 'real', who 'thinks' before he speaks. Pipi, whose actions speak louder than his words! Because he is the one who doesn't believe in fooling around. Instead he involves himself in hard work. And this is the reason he is the most 'stable'!
But can the situation shake even the most stable?
Emraan Hashmi, fresh from the success of 'Zeher' appears in his biggest multi-starrer and enacts the role of Devaa. A musician by profession, he is the most simple hearted of all. He is a dreamer...a lover. A young man for him most of the things are just perfect - either perfectly good or perfectly bad!
But does destiny allow him to lead a 'perfect' life?
Tanushree Datta, the latest beauty queen from the modeling world to join the Bollywood bandwagon, plays Sim. If looks could kill, there would be dead bodies around her on ever nook and corner of the city! She is a temptress who walks away with the murder without anyone realizing.
But will she meet with a different fate this time around?
Sushma Reddy is another popular model who debuts with 'Chocolate'. As a journalist by the name of Monsoon, she is undeterred by the bad phase in her career. She believes she would be able to pull it off with her hard work and talent.
But would her past allow her to lead a normal life?
Directed by Vivek Agnihotri, who makes a big screen debut after number of projects for the small screen, 'Chocolate' is not a feel good love story that could be enjoyed as a slurpy dish. Instead it’s a thriller about gangs, underworld and crime in the corners of London that now threaten to be out in open on the streets. But why 'Chocolate'? Because the way Mumbai terms a 'crore' and a 'lakh' as 'Khokha' and 'Peti' respectively, the West keeps it simple:

After the Raccoon City Incident in 2002, the T-Virus escaped containment despite the nuclear destruction of the city. The Umbrella Corporation desperately tries to stop it from turning the entire world's population into zombies, but after a series of viral outbreaks over the past 5 years, the world is on the verge of extinction.
Alice (Milla Jovovich), Umbrella's greatest Bio-Organic Weapon, is now alone in the desert wastelands of the remains of the United States after learning that the corporation has the ability to track her location via satellite. She has super-human strength and psychokinetic abilities gained from her brief imprisonment by Umbrella, and because of her ability to bond with the T-virus, the corporation seeks to develop a permanent cure to the T-Virus to save what is left of humanity. Under the orders of Umbrella chief Albert Wesker, Dr. Sam IsaacsSpencer Mansion, The Hive, and Raccoon City Hospital locations, but none survive. attempts to create a cure without Alice, using clones created from her blood; the clones endure tests within re-created

(Mike Epps), along with new survivors K-Mart (Spencer Locke), Mikey (Egan) and Nurse Betty (Ashanti), search a small motel for supplies. L.J. is bitten, but does not tell Nurse Betty, who checks his other wounds. The next morning a horde of infected crows begin to attack the convoy, however, Alice appears. She uses her telekinesis to utilize the flamethrower and covers the sky in fire while simultaneously keeping the convoy safe. Despite her efforts, Nurse Betty and a few others die in the attack. (
Alice is introduced to Claire, and the leaders of the group decide to search for supplies in Las Vegas. At the Umbrella corporation, with the help of a new artificial intelligence computer called the White Queen, they are able to pick up Alice's location based on the use of her power. Dr. Isaacs orders a crate of super zombies, created from cloned Alice's blood, to be transported to the convoy's destination against Wesker's wishes. The convoy meet with the new zombies and a battle between them ensues. Mikey is killed along with a large portion of the convoy in the fight, while L.J. turns into a zombie and bites Carlos before being shot down. Once Umbrella sees Alice is in position, they attempt to "shut her down" and control her actions. She resists the attempt and continues to come for Isaacs, getting to his location just as he slips away in a helicopter. She refrains from shooting the helicopter in order to later use it as transport to Alaska.
The remaining members of the convoy head towards the Umbrella facility, but they find it surrounded by thousands of zombies. Carlos believes the infection inside himself has gone beyond a cure, and then sacrifices himself for the convoy. Alice and Carlos kiss before he departs, using a gasoline transport truck to drive into the zombies. He detonates the dynamite and after the explosion, the group move in through the opening made by Carlos's sacrifice. They depart on the helicopter piloted by Claire. Alice stays behind, however, planning to exact her revenge on the Umbrella Corporation. Dr. Isaacs has been bitten by a super zombie and has mutated into a monster, the Tyrant. After Wesker's orders to have him killed fail, Isaacs goes on to kill all the employees in the facility. The White Queen manages to trap Isaacs in the lower levels and instructs Alice that she must pass through there to create a cure.
Alice heads down, seeing a clone of herself still in a vegetative state. She examines it, but Isaacs interrupts, attacking Alice before fleeing when she stabs him with a khukri knife. The clone then awakens, seemingly dying in Alice's arms. She covers the clone in her coat and leaves after Isaacs. In the replica of the Spencer Mansion, a battle between Isaacs and Alice ensues, both displaying use of telekinesis. When the fight is taken to a replica of the laser room from The Hive, Alice informs him that they are both to die there when the lasers activate. The lasers cut Isaacs into pieces in the same fashion as the character One in Resident Evil, and just as Alice is about to meet the same fate, the lasers dissipate. The clone of Alice is shown to be the one who turned off the lasers.
Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Japan Wesker informs the rest of the Umbrella board that the North American branch has been lost, and he will now control further scientific experimentation from Japan. Using holographic technology, Alice makes an appearance at the meeting, saying that she and her friends are coming for them now. Standing beside the clone of herself, Alice looks onto the rows of pods containing the other clones, their numbers in the hundreds. As many clones begin to awake, the film ends.

On Halloween, Deborah Myers (Sheri Moon Zombie) is called into her son Michael's (Daeg Faerch) school after the principal becomes concerned with Michael's behavior, as well as the discovery of a series of Polaroids of dead animals Michael keeps in his locker. Present at the meeting is Dr. Samuel J. Loomis (Malcolm McDowell), a child psychologist, who informs Deborah that Michael displays the warning signs of a psychopath and urges her to allow him to further assess the boy. Earlier that day, Michael had been bullied in the bathroom over a flyer advertising Deborah's strip club, where she was a dancer. Michael followed one of the bullies into the woods and brutally beat him to death with a tree branch. That night, Michael goes home and murders his mother's boyfriend (William Forsythe), his sister Judith (Hanna R. Hall), and her boyfriend (Adam Weisman). Deborah returns home to find Michael bloodied and sitting on the porch with his baby sister. Michael is convicted of first degree murder and taken to Smith's Grove Sanitarium, where he is placed under the supervision of Dr. Loomis. For the first eleven months, Michael cooperates with Dr. Loomis, claiming no memory of killing anyone. Deborah visits him regularly, where he shows her the papier-mâché Halloween masks he has been constructing in his room and wearing all day. One night, Michael befriends orderly Ismael Cruz (Danny Trejo), an ex-con who teaches Michael to cope with incarceration by internalizing himself. Michael takes the advice literally, entering a state of semi-catatonia. Shortly thereafter, he kills a nurse (Sybil Danning); Deborah Myers, who saw the event, returns home that night and kills herself. For the next fifteen years, Michael (Tyler Mane) continues making his masks and not speaking to anyone. Dr. Loomis, wanting to move on with his life, retires, deeming his former charge a true psychopath and writing a book about his time working with Michael. Michael is scheduled to be transported to maximum security, but breaks free of his chains, murdering all of his guards, and escapes. He finds his way to a truck stop and murders a driver for his clothes. Michael returns to his childhood home and retrieves a kitchen knife and a Halloween mask he stole from his sister's boyfriend from underneath some floorboards.
The story shifts to Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton), and her friends Annie Brackett (Danielle Harris) and Lynda Van Der Klok (Kristina Klebe) on Halloween. Throughout the day, Laurie witnesses Michael watching her from a distance. That night, she heads to the Doyle residence to watch their son Tommy Doyle, who persistently asks her about the boogeyman. Meanwhile, Lynda meets with her boyfriend Bob (Nick Mennell) at Michael Myers' childhood home, where they drink beer and have sex. After they finish having sex, Michael appears, murders them, and then heads to the Strode home, where he murders Laurie's parents. Having been alerted to Michael's escape, Dr. Loomis comes to Haddonfield looking for Michael. After obtaining a .357 Magnum handgun, Loomis approaches Annie's father, the town sheriff, telling him that Michael has returned home and that people's lives are in danger. Sheriff Brackett (Brad Dourif) and Dr. Loomis head to the Strode home, Brackett explaining along the way that Laurie is actually Michael Myers' baby sister. He was the responding officer the night of Deborah Myers' suicide; not wanting the infant to grow up with the stigma of being related to Michael, he faked her disappearance and left her at a nearby hospital.
Meanwhile, Laurie gets a call from Annie, who is babysitting Lindsey Wallace across the street from the Doyle home; Annie convinces Laurie to watch Lindsey long enough so she can have sex with her boyfriend Paul. Annie and Paul return to the Wallace home; during sex, Michael murders Paul and beats Annie until she is unconscious. Bringing Lindsey home, Laurie finds Annie on the floor, bloodied, and calls 911. She is attacked by Michael, who chases her back to the Doyle home. Sheriff Brackett and Loomis hear the 911 call and head to the Wallace residence. Michael kidnaps Laurie, and takes her back to his home. At the Myers home, Michael approaches Laurie and tries to show her that she is his younger sister. Unable to understand, Laurie grabs Michael's knife and stabs him before escaping the house; Michael chases her, but is repeatedly shot by Dr. Loomis. Loomis and Laurie are just about to leave when Michael grabs Laurie and heads back to the house. Loomis intervenes, but Michael kills him by crushing his skull. Laurie takes Loomis' gun and runs upstairs; she is chased by Michael, who, after cornering her on a balcony, charges her head-on and knocks both of them over the railing. Laurie finds herself on top of a bleeding Michael. Aiming Loomis' gun at his face, she repeatedly pulls the trigger until the gun finally goes off just as Michael's hand grips Laurie's wrist.

India celebrates Twenty20 win over Pakistan
Indian bowlers pull rabbit out of hat
There was no time to chew finger-nails or even think of thumping hearts as India's bowlers dug deep in their self-belief in successfully defending its low total of 157 for five to lay its hands on the ICC World Twenty20 crown with an emotional five-run victory over Pakistan at the magnificent Wanderers Cricket Stadium.There could not have been a more hard-fought contest than this one, with there being many heroes again, the team being the biggest. Gautam Gambhir (75) and Rohit Sharma (30 not out) managed the Indian innings at either end of the 20 overs and helped India to 157. Rudra Pratap Singh and man of the match Irfan Pathan took three wickets each to keep India in the hunt.
Pakistan had its stellar performers too. Umar Gul led the bowling as Pakistan kept India's batsmen in check; the two spinners Mohammed Hafeez and man of the series Shahid Afridi were instrumental in applying the brakes in second quarter of the Indian innings. And when it batted, opener Imran Nazir (33) and Misbah-ul-Haq (43) kept their chins up.
India's two left-arm seamers made the difference between winning and losing, when the bowlers were left the task of defending 157. With Mahendra Singh Dhoni leading the team with a calm and assured head, the team embraced the never-say-die spirit to keep Pakistan at bay, especially after Nazir gave the chase a fantastic start with 21 runs off S Sreesanth's first over
Pathan finished with three for 16 – a perfect response to Gul's figures of three for 28. He claimed the wickets of Shoaib Malik and Shahid Afridi in an over to swing the game India's way until Misbah-ul-Haq waded into Harbhajan Singh by hitting the off-spinner for three sixes in an over. The faster bowlers returned to stop the Pakistanis in their track.
With Sohail Tanvir also claiming two sixes of Sreesanth, Pakistan was in the chase but the fast bowler claimed his revenge and then bowling the final over, Joginder Sharma got Misbah-ul-Haq to play the lap shot to the man at short fine leg to complete an amazing win and cap a tournament in which the Indians died several deaths but refused to give in.
There really was no time to do anything but keep eyes on the ball during the thrill-a-minute contest that advertised the beauty of T20 cricket.
And as the DJ played the title track from Chak De! India, there was not a dry eye in the stadium. The Pakistani fans were in tears that Misbah-ul-Haq took the side so close and could not seal the win. The Indians could not control their emotions any longer and let the tears flow. Some tried to sing along and realized their voices were choked.
The most thrilling grand finale produced the most exhilarating match of the tournament. A gem of an innings from Misbah-ul-Haq was not enough, the outcome – India is crowned the ICC World Twenty20 champions.

In the 1970s, Om, an aspiring actor, is murdered, but is immediately reincarnated into the present day. He attempts to discover the mystery of his demise and find Shanti, the love of his previous life.
Rowling said the world was a sunnier, happier place after the seventh book and the death of Voldemort.
Harry Potter, who always voiced a desire to become an Auror, or someone who fights dark wizards, was named head of the Auror Department under the new wizarding government headed by his friend and ally, Kingsley Shacklebolt.
His wife, Ginny Weasley, stuck with her athletic career, playing for the Holyhead Harpies, the all-female Quidditch team. Eventually, Ginny left the team to raise their three children -- James, Albus and Lily -- while writing as the senior Quidditch correspondent for the wizarding newspaper, the Daily Prophet.
Harry's best friend Ron Weasley joined his brother, George, as a partner at their successful joke shop, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Hermione Granger, Ron's wife and the third person of the series' dark wizard fighting trio, furthered the rights of subjugated creatures, such as house elves, in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures before joining the magical law enforcement squad. The couple had two children -- Rose and Hugo.
Luna Lovegood, Harry's airily distracted friend with a love for imaginary animals who joins the fight against Voldemort in the Order of the Phoenix, becomes a famous wizarding naturalist who eventually marries the grandson of Newt Scamander, author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
And what Muggle, or non-wizard, song would have been played at the funeral of Albus Dumbledore, the most brilliant and talented wizard the world had ever known?
"Surely 'I Did It My Way' by Frank Sinatra," Rowling told her fans, referring to the song "My Way," written by Paul Anka but popularized by Sinatra, among other singers.
