    A COMMERCIAL MASTERPIECE!!

    This is the very first movie i watched in theatre, and this is the one movie from when i became a die hard fan of Suriya.. POSITIVES:- 1. Suriya's screen presence 2. Cinematography 3. Songs and Bgm 4. Extraordinary Twists 5. Fast paced 6. Unique storyline 7. Breathtaking Stunts Etc.......... NEGATIVES:- I DON'T THINK SO IF ANY.. Some may feel the movie a bit slower in the 2nd half.. But the Climax makes them Forget the few negatives here and there. OVERALL:- THE BEST COMMERCIAL MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN💯💯

    One of the best surya's movie

    This movie is soo thrilling and interesting. Everyone acted well. Kv Anand just nailed it. Few scenes could have been deleted. Good movie. Music was good and songs were excellent.

    Slick...Tamil Cinema re invents itself!

    After a long time, it was nice to see Tamil cinema for what its known for, slick production values. Ayan brings out that very well thanks to the tight story which does not bore you, slick action sequences (especially the Congo chase scene) and good acting. Surya is in his element as a young smuggler. Akashdeep Saigal seems a bit over the top as a stereo typical villain but seems to hold his own. Other actors support the story well. What is nice about this movie is no unnecessary masala and sub plots to mar the overall tight storyline. Kudos!

    Watch the movie for some refreshing acting by Surya and company. Watch it for virgin locales hitherto unexplored in contemporary domestic cinema i.e. Congo. Watch it for the tight storyline minus the regular masala.

    Great Entertainment and one of the Best Movie of the year...

    Ayan is a typical movie in Tamil cinema which makes the industry to next level.This movie is one of the best movie of the year with great action,songs and acting..

    K.V.Anand being a cinematographer turned director, shown his high talent for making this movie and became a finest director in Tamil industry. His first directional venture "Kana Kanden" fails at the box office but this movie "Ayan" will make him a proud man.

    Suba's dialogs and screenplay sharing with K.V.Anand are come out very excellent and intelligent.

    Surya is the excellent performer and he shows it again through the character as Deva in the movie.This movie will never suit for any other stars in the industry.And he is the only man able to do movies like this..

    All other supporting characters are very good and did their role very excellent.Especially Prabu,Karunas and Tammanna.

    Haris once again given the best songs with massive rocking musics.BG also very good.

    Stunt is the very plus of the movie.All the stunt sequences are choreographed very well.

    Also cinematography and Editing are very good.

    Ayan is the must watch movie and i recommend this movie for all who loves great Tamil entertaining films..

    Don't Miss It..............

    Ayan is a Movie, 20% reality 80% Movie

    As Mentioned in the title, if you watch this as a movie it is a great entertainer. But if you expect something and go, you will be disappointed.

    KV Anand, has taken Tamil cinema to a new dimension. You can see lot of Hollywood style stunts. Car chase and the fights like Jakie Chan movie.

    It seems like Kanal Kannan worked with 2 other Hollywood director to make these scenes.

    Congo- Africa, is good. KV Anand has taken time to think and shoot those shots.

    He should not have copied Bourne Ultimatum jump scenes as you see on the trailer. He could have done something different.

    The movie moves very fast only for the first half, second half kind of repeats everything. I have given my audio review @ http://www.movie.consultmirror.com.

    I give 7/10, because of the Songs-Lyrics, Music, Stunts, Flow of the entire movie.
