Of course, he outdoes the gravity and manages to stay on his course. We get a lot of Jayaram Ravi helplessly floating in space. The film, however, has decent visual effects considering the budget of the film. Let’s just say Jayaprakash’s role is also utterly confusing. Did they really expect a jailed con-artist to behave in line with military discipline? Do they have any real-world knowledge at all? Vincent seconds her, “He behaves like a rowdy.” Duh. “He has no discipline,” Nivetha says after seeing Vasu for the first time. Even their speaking lines are unintelligent and insignificant. Ramesh Thilak and Arjunan as Vasu’s teammates bring in some comic relief, while Vincent Asokan and Nivetha Pethuraj appear clueless throughout the film. Soundar Rajan keeps hitting us with one outrageous idea after another. The faceless antagonist wants Vasu to rob the missile and hand it over to him or else. While the mankind is at stake, we have a villain holding Vasu’s son for ransom. The filmmakers indulge the masses by making non-stop references to Tamil Nadu’s popular culture, including its new favorite Bigg Boss show and the Oviya Army. Soundar takes all the cliches of Tamil masala films, including the seemingly inevitable nod to Rajinikanth, Vijay and Ajith. And they select M.Vasu (Jayam Ravi), who ends up becoming “the first Indian to step on the moon” in a sloppily composed scene, which serves as an example of the director’s commitment to hero’s image-building even at the cost of the narration.Īlso read | Tik Tik Tik: Breaking down the visual effects in India’s first space film

Jayaprakash as defense department chief Mahendran comes up with the thought of robbing a nuclear missile from a space station, which is owned by the “beep” (the name of the country in question has been muted for political reasons) and use it against the asteroid.Īfter the entire defense department decides to go rogue in the name of humanity, the defense officials go shopping for an intelligent thief. So what’s the plan now? Wait for it, this is where it gets outrageous. You may ask, what’s the complication in that? India doesn’t have enough nuclear firepower to carry out the mission. All they have to do is stuff the nuclear bomb into the hole and detonate it before it breaches the safety line around earth.

Unlike, the film’s obvious inspiration Armageddon (1988), the defense officials don’t need “world’s best deep-core driller,” for they have already found a deep crater that runs through the core of the sliding asteroid. And hence, the Indian defense ministry decides to take the fight to outer space.Īlso Read: Tik Tik Tik movie release LIVE UPDATES

A rogue asteroid measuring 60 square kilometres will drop into the Bay of Bengal in seven days unleashing tsunamis and killing an estimated 40 million people. The television channels blare news reports about the death toll and extent of the damage.Ĭut to next scene, we have a group of top defense officials debating a highly confidential matter depressingly with the lack of urgency and every actor making almost the same shocking face repeatedly until the end of the scene. There is a visual of falling asteroid, followed by an explosion that sets off car alarms and leaves a hole on the ground. For some reasons, the director, who has also written the film, seems to have preferred not to dramatize the event and play up the damages caused by the large rock from space. An asteroid that is about the size of a huge boulder drops on a middle-class residential complex in Chennai. In the very beginning of Tik Tik Tik, director Shakti Soundar Rajan misses an opportunity to visually establish the scale of destruction that could be caused by the impending danger that is headed straight towards earth from outer space.
