    Was Kalai Arasi the first Indian film to feature aliens?

    Stumbled upon this film by chance and I believe (not confirmed) that this may well be the first Indian film (released in 1963) to feature aliens. I searched TFM for mentions of this film and there are indeed some, but they don't take into account with enough excitement the kind of plot this film had...back in the late 50s when this film was started!! Thankfully, Rajshri films owns this film's archive and had made the film available for online viewing, completely free! I saw the film and have jotted down my excited opinions. Would be glad to know if any other Indian film featured aliens before this one - I'm looking at alien-featuring films alone...not general sci-fi including robots, split personality etc.

    inetk,

    KalaiArasi was discussed 2 years back in MGR films section. I vaguely remember watching it in DD when I was a kid & had raised this question in the forum.

    Please refer to these links for some info about the movie:
