Kamal Haasan's ‘Dasavatharam’ is still on making waves at the box office with its astonishing collections. The magnum opus produced by Ravichandran and directed by Ravikumar, has entered the Fourth week, is still drawing packed houses and number one in Box office, fourth week in a row. The movie is doing well in multiplexes and has managed healthy collections in urban centers.
From the trade facts one can infer that dasavatharam is a Mega Blockbuster Hit. But inorder to know its exact position, we have taken yet another Blockbuster movie superstar's 'Sivaji' for comparison (Not to hurt Rajini Fans).
Film has met with a resounding success so far at the Box office surpassing all previous records. Now Aascar must be smiling and reaping the rewards for the huge risk he took to take the film forward. Proof being the near-stampede crowd at the box office during weekends. With no promising contenders at the box-office, Dasavatharam's dominance is expected to continue for a few more weeks.
Dasavatharam is all about Kamal and Kamal only. He has just mesmerized the masses by his acting skills and that is the main reason for its spectacular success worldwide collection wise. Finally, there is no doubt that Kamalhaasan's magnum opus Dasavatharam is making progress to become an all time BlockBuster and it is already a BlockBuster. But, I doubt if the film will cross 100 days in many screens as it was released in a record number of screens, because there is yet another biggie waiting on the roads, Kuselan.
Finally, All in all a path breaking movie for the Tamil Film Industry and realizing Kamal dreams to take the level of Tamil Cinema to World stage and With two back to back Blockbusters (Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu and Dasavatharam), Kamal has proved that he is also the Box Office King.
In Chennai, it has made 7. 5 crores in the first 31 days in a new path breaking record. The weekly collection of 'Dasavatharam' is many times higher than its co release movies. The box office collection overseas has also put 'Sivaji' collection in the shade.

Finally at the End of three weeks DASAVATHARAM has collected $14,683,762, which is approximately $10,000,000 more than SIVAJI's collections during the same period last year.
Dasavatharam has already earned more than 100% profit for the Producer. What more a Producer want from a film ? Although the Media and some Critics have tried and are trying their best to belittle the success of Dasavatharam, they cannot hide the truth for long.
Thank you one and all for taking part in the SuperShowBiz Dasavatharam voting. Comments are welcome. Now there are lot of vibes happening around the movie 'Kuselan' having superstar Rajinikanth, and the movie is going to be released on AUGUST 1, 2008, worldwide.
