Ayalaan

I felt ashamed taking my kids to other recent 2023 movies...Full of violence or something uncomfortable and ear tearing music all through the film... But I felt very much comfortable taking my kids to this movie... They really enjoyed the movie including myself... Good ARR BGM felt like bliss instead of irritation... ARR really knows where to give pause in the BGM and where to give slow BGM... First half was really entertaining and enjoyable and it was very fast.... 2nd half was decent.. But somehow we missed the Alien little bit... Some minor disconnect... But still a great effort in making this film... We can literally see in the movie... I am a great fan of Indru Netru Nallai... Even watched that again... It had the curiosity of how the climax will end... Twist and turns throughout the movie.... We miss this part in this Ayalan movie... No twist and turns... Climax is very straightforward... Somewhere some twist would have been engaging... Something could have done with Isha Koppikar role... May be alien seeing the future issues and came to past to stop it could have been more interesting....

But I understand with the budget constraint they may not be able to bring everything in this film... Theater was full in USA... Because kids are watching... Tamil film industry needs to learn this... We need more kids watchable films... That will bring the collection to different level... Never encourage kids to watch mass heros fight scenes and violence... Irresponsible act from Big heroes just to bring more collection.... Need different genres in the movies... Like alien, time travel, suspense, etc... great effort in this movie.. appreciate the director for his efforts and waiting.... Thanks Siva Karthikeyan for appreciating these kinds of movies... Say no to Violence movies...

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.

I watched the movie with high hopes but in the end it disappointed me.

It would be great if there was an animation movie with this story, but a sci-fi movie doesn't go well with this story. I think this movie is inspired by Hollywood movies but there is none of what is meant by sci-fi movies in this movie. This story makes no sense. You can say it is an updated version of Shankar's 2.0.

The first half was good but the second half was poor

The characters in the movie are not used properly but everyone acted very well especially the vfx,art work,cinematography was excellent music was also good.

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.

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.
