Ayaal was earlier titled Nagabandham.[5] The film was released on 28 June 2013.[4][3]
Ayaal is a story of intense human relations. It’s a story of a man who effortlessly floated along the estuaries of time, the backwaters of Vembanad. If love is the flowering of one’s own heart, can it have a direction? Is it Scalar (directionless). This is an uncomfortable question raised by him, the protagonist, Guru Dasan. The film problematizes the conventional fabric of human relations, its rules and its sanctity.[6][7]
