A lost alien seeks help from four friends to get back to his home planet, while a group of hostile scientists tries to capture it.

Carla Hay

Culture Mix

Ayalaan is a sloppy ripoff of the 1982 classic sci-fi film E.T., but with the outer-space alien befriending adults instead of children, as the movie's 'heroes' try to prevent the alien from being captured. This misguided film is just time-wasting idiocy.

Sarah Manvel

Critic's Notebook

“Ayalaan’s” message of kindness and mutual respect is well and truly lost by the time the 40th punch is thrown; and all the silly hijinks and funny dance routines are overshadowed by the sight of a screaming child surrounded by flames.

Despite the flaws, Sivakarthikeyan’s alien movie is a fun timepass.

Ayalaan, is light-hearted and has an expressive alien to entertain, but it doesn’t push the boundaries enough to offer a gripping sci-fi experience.

The Times of India

Right when things seem to be getting a bit underwhelming, we get moments that are pretty exciting to longer too much on the things that don't work.

Rated: 3.5/5

Adult-sized clichés in an otherwise child-sized sci-fi comedy
