Ayalaan

I can clearly say this film is good. Announced on 2016 and started shooting on 2018 and packed up on 2019. Afterwards spend most of the time on post production cause they faced a lot trouble on financial. And my main concern is about the budget, if you notice the vfx and the budget - it won't suit up. Cause the animation looks more cartoonish - Compared to that animation level. Cause there's no proper retro scoping, the hands of human being while touching alien won't mark up properly, the boot of alien looks more bigger than the alien, no proper timed motion blur, green screen isn't merged with colour grading and many mistakes. And they needed to work on story more.

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...

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.

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.

Even for an alien movie, the film had the need to have a hero song, hero falling in love on first sight (ofcourse with a fair skinned girl), hero saves a stranded animal and then a kid kisses him. Nothing out of the template. This is Tamil industry's opportunity to deliver a good alien movie. With such a comical cast, there weren't that many jokes to laugh. Maybe a few chuckles here and there but that's it. For me, the biggest disappointment is the music. Both songs and the background score were not even mediocre but bad. Any other upcoming music director could have done a better job. Rahman was such a let down. The movie had every Cliche'd scene you would expect. I wouldn't even call it a kids' movie because there was nothing new that the kids might enjoy. Overall a huge let down and a wasted opportunity.
