Arun was a film researcher working on a documentary about Dasavatharam, the ambitious film where Kamal Haasan played ten distinct roles — from a 12th-century Vishnu devotee to a modern-day scientist.
One evening, while organizing his hard drive, Arun saw a folder labeled:
"index of dasavatharam"
He clicked it open. Inside was a neatly arranged list — not movie clips, but a conceptual index mapping each of the ten avatars of Vishnu (from the film and the original myth) to real-life lessons.
Here’s what the index said:
| Avatar | Lesson | |--------|--------| | Matsya (Fish) | Save what’s essential before chaos hits. | | Kurma (Tortoise) | Be the stable base for heavy tasks. | | Varaha (Boar) | Lift others up from low points. | | Narasimha (Man-Lion) | Destroy fear, not people. | | Vamana (Dwarf) | Small steps can claim big territory. | | Parashurama | Let go of toxic pride. | | Rama | Keep your word, even when it’s hard. | | Balarama | Strength must serve righteousness. | | Krishna | Strategy is wiser than force. | | Kalki (future) | Every ending is a new beginning. | index of dasavatharam
Arun realized: This “index” wasn’t a file list — it was a life tool.
From that day, whenever he faced a problem, he would ask: Which avatar’s lesson applies now?
Moral of the useful story:
An “index of dasavatharam” can be more than a folder name — it can be a mental framework to handle ten common human challenges using timeless wisdom.
If you meant something else (like a literal file index from a website or DVD), let me know, and I’ll adjust the story. Arun was a film researcher working on a

When a web server has directory listing (auto-indexing) enabled, you might see a page like:

These are often unprotected folders that may contain movie files, audio, subtitles, or fan content.
Dasavathaaram is a milestone in Indian cinema. It is not a perfect film—it is bloated, chaotic, and sometimes messy—but it is a must-watch for the sheer audacity of its concept and Kamal Haasan’s dedication to his craft.
It is a film that demands your attention. If you can look past the heavy prosthetics and the frantic pacing of the second act, the underlying message about the interconnectedness of life is rewarding.
