Aayirathil Oruvan similar to Lost' plot

Aayirathil Oruvan
Group of people at odds in all aspects get lost in an unknown island and all of sudden they travel from 2006 to 1977- 30 years back to the past. Is it reality or realms of fiction? Plainly, it"s a work of fiction that has been keeping everyone across the globe: from US President to the ordinary laymen in far-flung corners so curious about this final season. This is all about Lost- World"s most highly rated TRP show and it was recently ranked on the 5th position for the global viewership on youtube.com

Lost is all about few survivors of Oceanic 6 (Flight traveling from United States to Australia) crash that leaves them on an isolated island. The survivors have no idea about their whereabouts and what turns the thing so weird is the Time Machine that lets them travel back to past from 2006-1977.

Well, it looks like Selvaraghavan"s Aayirathil Oruvan too has been based on the same story about three characters time traveling from the present situation towards ancient centuries of Chola dynasty. The adventurous thrills about fireballs thrown from the other ends are seemingly lifted from this TV series. A forest officer, an archaeologist and a local coolie have embarked a journey on the quest of hidden past about Chola dynasty only to experience series of bizarre.

It"s noteworthy that a mysterious invisible creature killing down the survivors was blatantly replicated in Ram Gopal Varma"s Agyaat. Time Travel has been the most-loved theme for the Hollywood filmmakers as they have churned out numerous flicks based on this. Be it Back to the Future or the recent Time Traveler"s wife, these movies have been offering a sense of astonishing fantasy for the world audiences. Similarly, Bollywood"s super hit Jodi Akshay Kumar-Vipul Shah has geared up for Action Replay based on Time Travel.

LOl.. before writing a review, watch it. NO time travel in the film! =)) if you have misconstrued it so badly, why do you think of writing a review?

To the reviewer, Did you really saw this move? In this film there is not time travel, everything is on the same time, no one is going back on time. The second half says the Chozha\'s are still living and not as you mentioned as time travel. Please watch the movie again and please do not post half cooked reviews without getting your supervisors approval. Thanks Kumar

Absolutely absurd movie. U cant take a movie in Tamil vulgar than this. Instead of spending in seeing such movies, it is better to relax in the house and save time & money.

THe first half is good, but Selvaragavan doesn't know what to do in second half. Not good for Childeren and Ladies. Violent and vulgar movie. It is not worth to spend money and time to go to theater. Can wait for DVD.

I agree with you guys! Our people are used to compare our movies with hollywood. If they find any small similarity, then they'll say that it's been lifted from hollywood. Anyone can say anything, but for me, Aayirathil Oruvan is a wonderful movie.
