MOVIE REVIEW

“Ayan” is the story of an international smuggler Deva (Surya). He is a MSC degree holder living with his mother. His father was a smuggler and his mother does not want her son to follow the path of his father. She wants to see his son as a government officer. Deva continues to work towards his goals. But he faces problems which makes things harder for him and he engaged in smuggling business under a diamond smuggler named Das (Prabhu). They export and import diamonds and other smuggled goods into the other countries. They had an enemy named Kamalesh (Akshdeep Saigal) in the smuggling field, and he always opposed their business.  When Deva and Das decided to import diamond from South Africa, Kamalesh wants to block Deva and Das and when Kamalesh expands his business by export and import drugs and narcotics, Deva and Das opposed this business. We can also see the romantic relationship with Deva and Yamuna (Tamannah) in this film. Followed by the grand success of ‘Vaaranam Aayiram’, Surya makes a great comeback with this different generation movie. He played very different role in this film. He is a soft hero in the first half and in second half, he becomes an action hero in this film. His acting and dancing skills are so perfect. Tamannah proves that she can act and dance very well through this movie. The music by Harris Jayaraj is racing and the back ground score is also suitable and melodious. Really, it is a full entertainer for all sections of audiences, and it will be super hit in coming days.
