Antariksham 9000 KMPH (2018)

Soon after his unintentional connection, an alien spaceship lands in his hometown, leaving behind an alien named Jaadu, whom Rohit discovers. Rohit and his friends go out of their way to protect his new friend from danger, and in exchange, Jaadu grants Rohit superhuman abilities. If you haven’t seen this yet, you should do so right away.
Tik Tik Tik(2018)
Inspired by Michael Bay’s Armageddon (1998). Tik Tik Tik is a Tamil science-fiction film that tells the fictional story of an asteroid striking Chennai’s Ennore neighbourhood. Another one is expected to strike in the near future. RAW then dispatches their best man on the job to handle the situation.
Chand Par Chadayee(1967)
T. P. Sundaram produced and directed the film, which is similar to one of the earliest films ever made, Georges Melies’ A Trip to the Moon. The plot revolves around a group of astronauts who embark on a mission to the moon. When they arrive, they are met with a swarm of warriors and monsters from an alien planet.
Kalai Arasi (1963)
The first Indian space film was directed by A. Kasilingam. MG Ramachandran and P. Bhanumathi Ramakrishna starred in it. Despite its success, the film did not inspire many others to explore the sci-fi and space drama genres. The producers’ decision not to commit too much money to a single film at the time may have been influenced by the fact that the Indian public was unaware of scientific breakthroughs.
