    Ambuli (Tamil: அம்புலி) is a 2012 Tamil science-fiction thriller film directed by Hari Shankar and Hareesh Narayan, who earlier directed Orr Eravuu (2010). The film was made in stereoscopic format, making it the first 3-D film in Tamil cinema.

    Times of India rated the movie 3.5/5 [8] and Behindwoods rated Ambuli 3/5 calling it between 'not bad' and 'good'

    but when copared to a budget of 19.60 crores its worthless

    Hari Shankar and Hareesh Narayan, who made their directorial debut with the horror film Orr Eravuu (2010), decided to shoot a mystery thriller based on folklore and superstition. In an interview they stated: "We have taken inspirations from folklore and Ambuli tells the story of a village which is soaked in superstitions. Ambuli means 'moon' and it is a moon light mystery".[2] The film was promoted as being the "first ever-stereoscopic 3D film in Tamil cinema".[3][4] The directors further disclosed that the plot revolved around "four youngsters who go in search of a story, the problems they face and how they overcome them", while clarifying that there was no villain in the film.[5] Newcomers R. Ajai, P. S. Srijith, Sanam and Jothisha Ammu were signed on to enact the lead roles,[6] while Gokulnath, best known from the reality-based dance competition Maanada Mayilada was selected to play the titular character. The filming began on 4 February 2011.[7] Vanessa Taylor, who has previously worked in Hollywood films including Harry Potter, worked as a DI Colorist in the film.
