    Must watch

    One of the best web series I have ever watched, it has made me to cry, laugh & think. I must mention all the actors have acted perfectly, top notch performances by all village women & girls. After u watched the series u will definetely think & care about our mother & wife & daughter & all women who are all involved our lives. We should go & ask them that what do u like & what do u want to be & are you happy that what you are doing ? Best social message telling series . Thanks to the whole team.

    That girl who has done the title role abhi nakshatra & her mother anumol & some of the village women all are having a great acting career in future I hope.

    Excellent and Thought provoking. Brilliance at its best

    One of the best i watched. I've no words to express the way my heart sang after i watched this. Just brilliant. Pls spare your time to watch this honest show. Just beautiful narration, screenplay and pure emotions. Every character has that originality which will immerse you in deep thinking and will let you question back

    Every "judgemental" village, town, city, family will need a girl like TamizhSelvi. I just hope n wish this show will bring a lot of education and change the superstitious minds of those stupid people who don't let progression happen. Like one positive thought which can destroy demotivation, and help towards positivity, this show should bring that lustrous ray of light which will eradicate darkness.

    Hats off Muthu Kumar and your thoughts! You're just fantastic.

    A girl VS The Society following strict superstitious custom

    Pros - Ayali is a well written social drama . Story of a girl who is fighting against the superstitious custom and tradition in her village for Women's basic rights . World building was great , Veerappannai village is just reflection of our India , group of people in name of protecting culture and tradition trying to stop the progression for their own benefits in politics and lifestyle . Not only in the case of women's oppression , we can easily relate this village condition with other social problems too . Muthukumar as writer did a well in screenplay and dialogue writing , narration keeps you intrigued right throughout the series and dialogues were hard hitting . Cast did a great job in performance and justified their characters . Technically , Visuals and cinematography was good .

    Cons - Dubbing and editing was bit odd in few places .

    Third act quite rushed to the conclusion .

    Overall a binge worthy social drama Series to watch with your FAMILY .

    Must watch !

    Strong story plot supported by excellent acting performance

    Story plot is very strong and shockingly relatable to till date with many women in my life. Some of the customs are still happening in many places that I know.

    Thanks to the whole team and for the actors who gave the top notch performances. All of them acted like well experienced actors. 💐

    I remember In 90s , there was a thing about Mangalsutra and all the heros and villains used to tie that for women to make the story twist. It was well accepted that time. The way the director broke that stigma got my applause. I enjoyed this scene so much. Please continue break all these stigmas in the upcoming seasons 🙏

    Drawback in my opinion:🎢 Could have avoided a cinematic type villain .

    In real life the fear about the society and its myths are the actual villains. That could have been emphasized without typical old villain sequences.

    Some unnecessary comedy like scenes which could be avoided.. Mythili is literally crying in all of her scenes. While I adore her acting , this could have been reduced.

    Unlike many other characters, no one will change overnight in real life .. but the society will change when they watch someone to go fight and also succeed in their life.

    Finally I hope to see how Tamizh gets to her dream and how she tackles many other problems in upcoming seasons.

    Well worth of your watching time ..go for it 👍
