Onaayum Aattukkuttiyum

I really expect this movie for various award categories like Direction, Story, Music, Acting, Stunt, Screenplay, Cinematography, Costume, Plot, etc... My God this movie is simply brilliant... After a long time had a very good satisfaction watching this movie. Highly recommended awesome movie, extraordinary music score and fabulous acting by all the artists. Shri is very energetic throughout the movie and had performed very well, Mysskin is very good and especially brilliant performance and dialogue delivery by the CBI officer Shaji(Lal), he just suits extremely well for that character. Hats off to Mysskin and Raja Sir for giving out a masterpiece... A must watch

I was actually reluctant to watch Myskin movie due to the previous and movie, stereo typed of movie making like showing the legs running. i'm not the great fan Myskin's style of movie making and this is based on a Dutch movie. But Sir Illayaraja's music review made me to watch this.

I must admit the movie was a cult classic though. The director trusted the script and characters, and made no compromise like gana songs. First half was okay his usual style which i'm bit bored. The movie soars up in second with greater magnitude which eventually leave with a great sense of feeling about the movie. No one in the world can compose BGM like this. He showcased how BGM lifts the movie. Myskin as an actor, lived in the movie. No boring flashbacks, the story telling was at different level altogether. Story briefing was ultimate to the movie. As usual in Myskin's, everybody lived as character except few clitches in Police dialogues.

The movie might not be a super hit, but it was easily better than many movies released in last two years.

Keep up the good work.

Must watch Tamil film after long time. Hats off to Myshkin. The way he drove the story is excellent. Rather than commenting on whole movie he needs to be appreciated for each scenes he narrated. He did a great great job. Entire movie is awesome. i never got break even a single second.

Highlights of the film:

CBCID conversation with head of police and doctor (prof) during initial investigation.

Unexpected way of Flash back narration.

Raja sir music is a great plus to the film.

Timing comedies in crucial scenes without humor dialog's.

Location, Camera views, the way story moves are the unexpected keys to the film's success.

I'm writing this review with shear anger and disappointment! A movie if it was made in Hollywood, would be preserved and the script would be under the scrutiny of the best minds in prestigious universities! But the movie (The Masterpiece) is not getting the Reward And the award it deserves, not even from the natives! Getting to the story, it is not a story that could be translated into such a masterpiece by every Tom, Dick & Harry, Not only the story but the narration is path breaking to say the least! It is about how far one will go to suppress the animal instinct in him and how far a "Refurbished" human would go to remain human! this is the simple one liner and the rest you have to see to believe it! Out of the top 10 clichés (AB)used in Indian cinema flashback sequences takes the cake but in this masterpiece The Director MYSSKIN has given a fresh treatment to the flashback sequence making it effective and impact full! No words to describe the BGM of Ilayaraja and this soundtrack proves why he is the RAJA! A movie for all and a movie (masterpiece) that should be appreciated as well as endorsed by every sensible movie buff!

ONAYUM AATUKUTTIYUM-My Review

Mysskin hats off for your effort for giving a pure cinema. There are no songs, no comedies, double meaning dialogs, heroine etc., It is just about the story of The Wolf and The Lamb.. It is not just a thriller, an art.. thinking and executing such a story one has to have great talent and of course yes Mysskin can now proudly say this is one of his film. Balaji V Rangha's Cinematography is stunning, the lighting during the dark gives a great effect on the silver screen for this movie.Every frame is unique and brilliant. Ilayaraja's background score is helping us travel behind the Wolf and the Lamb. I loved the flashback of Mysskin where the whole picture comes clearer with the perfect examples of Wolf,Lamb,Bear and Tiger.. His acting gives true life for the character Wolf. And Sri is equally talented his character sketch resembling the Lamb is linked very beautifully.He will reach great heights in future. Small Kid and her blind family every character has some impact for sure. Still there are some thoughts like Why The Wolf goes behind the Lamb? just to say thanks?? And moreover the Bear thats the Villain character linked with this is not appealing. Though some elements used in such films are repeated it is not a hindrance for the Wolf and the lamb. Leaving certain things, this is a pure cinema and those who love cinema will surely admire this style of making

WOLF AND THE LAMB- EVEN PERSONS LIKE THE LAMB WILL SHOWER SYMPATHY FOR THIS WOLF Rating: 3.75/5
