The outstanding Dr. M.G.Ramachandran tries to explain Tamil audience, what is space, how Extraterrestrial looks.Amazing, in 1963 how people understood about the aliens an the space ship.The plot is very simple and adaptable for the Tamil culture. Nambiyar is an alien comes from another world where there is no entertainment and Cultural activities. He want's to satisfy the King of that planet by bringing some of the Earth's talents to there planet.On his search he finds Banumathi a Vocalist and Dancer, he kidnaps her to teach Song's and Dance to the people of there Planet. The ship can carry only two persons at a time, so Nambiyar lefts his assistant on Earth and promises that he will come back.Now the story turns. MGR is Banumathis lover and prosecuted that he killed Banumathi because she is vanished suddenly from Earth and last time they saw her with MGR. MGR escapes from prison and runs into jungle.MGR saws this strange being (Nambiyar's assistant) on the Earth, fights and kills the alien. Now Nambiyar come back for the assistant and saws him dead, mean while MGR silently goes inside the space ship. Nambiyar brings body of the assistant and puts him exactly where MGR is hidden, and starts the space ship. MGR drops the body of the assistant and flees with Nambiyar hiding in a Chamber, to the other world.The rest of story is how he saves Banumathi and brings her back to Earth.The set for the other world, the low gravity scenes are well done. The training for flying space ship scenes are good one.I heard from my mother that this movie isn't went well among Tamil audience, on that period. This is a must watch movie. The DVD version is available.I give 10/10 for an excellent try.
