Dasavatharam taken to court!

The controversy surrounding the release of the much-anticipated film Dasavatharam turned ugly with a Hindu organization filing a petition at the court. According to the complainant, the film consists of scenes that depict the conflict between the Saivites and Vaishnavites.It is also alleged that Dasavatharam contains scenes that disregard the Hindu religion. Furthermore, there are scenes that show the idols of Gods and Goddesses being thrown.

The Division Bench comprising of Justices Sathyanarayanan and Rajasuriya has sought an explanation in this regard and ordered to issue notices to producer Oscar Ravichandran, director K.S. Ravikumar and the Censor Board seeking explanation. Meanwhile, Ocsar Ravichandran has issued a statement that there are no such scenes that would hurt the sentiments of Hindus. In fact, the film will play a pivotal role in converting an atheist into a theist, he reassured.
