Tik Tik Tik trailer: Will Jayam Ravi’s ambitious film be as good as Armageddon?

Going by the trailer, we can understand that there is space station with a nuclear missile that can destroy the rogue asteroid. But there is a catch. The in-charge of that space station seems to be in a quarrel with India. So, they enlist the service of a local magician, Jayam Ravi, to go into space and save the lives of millions of Indians. How can a street hustler stop an asteroid? Valid question, and hopefully, director Shakti Soundar Rajan has a convincing answer to it.

But, one can’t help wonder, what’s the play here. Is it something like the government wants to send a trickster to outer space, so that he can sneak into the “enemy” space station, and fire the nuclear missile at the falling asteroid?

Even the special effects of the film seem less appealing by the standards of the space adventures made in the past globally. However, there are a few memorable moments in the trailer that strike a chord. For instance, at the end of the trailer, Jayam Ravi can be seen helplessly floating behind the giant asteroid, which is very close to entering the earth.

Tik Tik Tik, indeed, looks like an ambitious effort from the Tamil filmmakers. But, the trailer doesn’t inspire a tenth of interest and visual shock that Armageddon managed to do nearly 2 decades ago.
