R. Ravikumar has come up with a decent story which is entertaining enough for kids and families with laudable vfx when it comes to the alien. However, the narrative is pretty dated for this genre and the screenplay is pretty much dumbed down to have a bigger appeal for a Pongal release. Even the routine jokes are made to work, thanks to the supporting cast and their impeccable dialogue delivery. Yet the film definitely felt like it belonged to the Koi Mil Gaya times, considering Indian films about alien.
The vfx is slightly underwhelming during the action scene but atleast the scenes featuring the alien is not. The pace gets uneven especially in the second half and there are barely any surprises left in store. I couldn't help but wish for Yogi Babu and Karunakaran to be used more, which could've made the second half work while Sharad Kelkar and Isha Koppikar gets one dimensional roles as typical baddies. I for one, had enjoyed the Director's time travel entertainer and Ayalaan definitely needed a better screenplay.
