Ayalaan is a proper kids friendly film and one that is mostly all right as a laidback watch for adults. A little excitement in the second half is what the film lacks. (more)

An enjoyable sci-fi entertainer with a local flavour

It is the twists that Ravikumar gives to concepts that we have seen in several Hollywood films - superpowers, UFOs, extra-terrestrials, powerful robots, femme fatales, large-scale destruction - that makes Ayalaan an entertainer for all ages.

And once the alien lands, there are comedy routines like having Yogi Babu coming out of a bath and dropping his towel in front of the creature. Rakul Preet Singh contributes absolutely nothing as a random lady who teaches...(more)

Sivakarthikeyan's sci-fi film feels dated

The elaborate stunt sequences might have been hard work, but they also end up as a tiresome watch. And the redundancies. Director R Ravikumar's lack of trust in the audience makes him resort to elaborate detailing of his ideas. For example, the idea that Tamizh and Tattoo have to be in physical cont...(more)
