      A scintillating Scifi work

      This movie is all scifi, a perfect scifi action movie from ravi kumar. His work from indru netru naalai has been perfect as this. Kudos to the VFX team. I can see the work put through each scene for CGI is remarkable. The work and efforts and the cgi and graphics were hollywood standards. Almost every scene is a CGI. Special kudos. But the story and screenplay could have been better not bad though. SK did his best to his role and all others collaborated very well. To be honest the songs were reducing the pace of the movie and the songs too not catchy. This will be ARR s bad album according to me. Bgm is ok. Overall a good movie. Kudos to ravikumar for bringing in a world class movie with all techs in. Please do watch it available in sun Next.

      The VFX is pretty good for a Tamil film. That's about it. [+44%]

      Everyone's talking about ET and Koi Mil Gaya as obvious sources of inspiration, but my best guess is .. writer-director R Ravi Kumar watched Greg Mottola's Paul (2011) at some point and thought Tamizhify-ing it would be a good idea. Considering the film has been in production hell for years, I'm glad at least the visual effects do not disappoint. PhantomFX does a pretty solid job, and it's indeed their hard work that sustains the film's watchability factor. I'll also give part of that credit to Siddharth, who voices Tattoo the cute alien.

      But I wish the writing ingenuity that I witnessed in Ravi Kumar's Indru Netru Naalai was present here too. The screenplay is inconsolably generic, and even kids would find the plot developments overstuffed and the feeble attempts at humor quite lackluster. Sivakarthikeyan does alright in a role that only tries to milk the middle-class guy-next-door perception he has, while the usually funny sidekicks (Yogi Babu, Karunakaran) are not as fun this time around. The antagonists are one-note too, and a returning (femme fatale) Isha Koppikar is way more interesting than Sharad Kelkar here. Oh, Rakul Preet Singh is in there somewhere too, I almost forgot! Also, this is probably the most forgettable soundtrack that ARR has composed in recent memory.

      Tamil Alien Movie

      Ayalaan Movie Summary: The film revolves around an alien joining forces with a kind-hearted young man to thwart a ruthless industrialist's destructive project.

      Ayalaan Movie Review: Director Ravikumar, known for "Indru Netru Naalai," brings a local touch to the sci-fi concept of an alien on Earth. The film incorporates Tamil cinema essentials like a hero's introduction song, romance, comical sidekicks, a corporate villain (played by Sharad Kelkar), and touches on topics like organic farming. Despite occasional rough transitions, a less menacing villain, and some less impactful scenes in the second half, Ayalaan captivates with its imaginative twists on familiar Hollywood themes. The first half introduces the alien, Tattoo, as a charming character, creating wonder and humor that appeals to both kids and adults. Seamless visual effects enhance the film's magic, while occasional exciting moments overshadow its shortcomings. Overall, Ayalaan offers an entertaining experience, especially for those who enjoy creative takes on sci-fi elements.

      Quirky and witty sci fi movie

      Ayalaan- Quirky and witty sci fi movie with a great pinch of message for humans to protect and safeguard the earth.

      Director Ravi Kumar has shown this simple story with alien and humans confrontation, but taken with a good comic timing.

      Siva Karthikeyan is gifted with picking good stories, and he has effortlessly carried forward his magic. Yogi babu and others are hilarious with their comedy.

      This movie is a whole hearted kids and family entertainer with a strong message for humans towards Mother Nature.

      Go for it and enjoy this sci-fi comedy that has a good meaning to protect earth as it is in our hands.

      VFX was a step above Shankar's 2.0 but....

      I don't know why but whenever a good director join hands with a big actor he somehow looses track on his project.

      Ravikumar's previous project Indru Netru Naalai is one of the best Sci-Fi time travel film in Tamil Cinema. The film had so much content and an engaging plot.

      Ayalaan, extraordinary VFX. Congratulations to the whole team because they've brought Kollywood to the next level in terms of VFX only not the film.

      First half was good but due to lack of content second half was poorly executed.

      Music was okay, cinematography was good.

      Dear directors , if you don't have any ideas to sneak in second half , please just decrease the film's duration. We as audience are not dumb to watch Sivakarthikeyan fight a robot for 10 minutes and using a balloon to fly to another building.

      Film had potential but basic storyline made it ended as an average one time watchable film

      6/10 , strictly for kids.
