It’s truly commendable when an experimental film is also entertaining and this is the case with Kadaisi Ulaga Por.

Kottukkaali ()

Ayalaan (2024)

Star: Sivakarthikeyan,Rakul Preet Singh,Yogi Babu,Isha Koppikar,Bhanupriya,Karunakaran,Sharad Kelkar

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.

Vaazhai has got heart and looks the part, but it could’ve used a bit more grey in its village tableau.
