Dasavathaaram begins with Kamal's voiceover telling us the story of Rangaraja Nambi, and the movie goes back hundreds of years when the Cholas ruled South India. It begins with a scene when the ardent Saivites insist on wiping out the name of the Hari-chanting Vaisnavites. The Chola king, arrogant with his power, orders the removal of Perumal's idol from a temple. As the Chola ruler's men are at work, a young man comes running into the temple, fights the men and restores the Lord to his original place. This is Nambi, ardent Narayana devotee who is willing to give his life for his Lord, his Narayana.

The incidents that follow are what intellectuals refer to as chaos theory. And that is what our protagonist Govind Ramasamy also talks about. And from all that chaos comes order.

From ancient South India, the story moves to present day US, where Govind (our hero) is working as a scientist, a bio-weapon expert to be more specific. The lab he works for is developing a virus that has the ability to kill millions of people without expending a single bullet. A freak accident in the lab has Govind questioning the purpose of such life-threatening research. He decides to move away from all this, but when he realizes that his boss is out to sell the virus to the highest bidder, he steals the virus from the lab and escapes. What ensues after this is a chase across the globe, from the US to India. Throughout this chase, all the avatars of Kamal are introduced in the story, one by one.
