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

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

Just went to hear the BGM of Illayaraja... but the director overtook it...remarkable direction... to say in simple words "World class"... BGM of IR is the plus.. but even without that the movie speaks .. the development of the movie is such great.. with the constant & sustained tension... awesome camera angles & frames.. enjoyed . No songs, but has melody; no comedian, but has humor! Almost all performed well but i can't neglect mentioning Mysskin.. fabulous performance!! especially a continuous shot of around 3+ min without blinking and maintaining the expression and delivering dialog...enjoyed .. IR music nothing to say... Strings strings strings... the only music director, who i am aware, uses the silence in a very effective way for the music ...lively notes a short story said in a fabulous manner..!! Thoroughly enjoyed . Onaiyum Aatukuttiyum - ஓநாயும் ஆட்டுக்குட்டியும் Highly recommended for GREAT MINDS, A MUST WATCH

When you are shown a city that is glowing even during the nights, artists who perform extra ordinarily well, Illayaraja's symphony, a story that is just like a fairy tale, one must say 'Cant ask for better'. This is what Mysskin's Onaayum Aattukuttiyum is all about.

The Story is about a man who is a killer by profession trying to seek a redemption over a night. Simple.

Screenplay is so good that it sticks to story and only to the story. Every characters in the movie are given proper detail (even the one that is out of focus). Being a thriller genre, the screenplay moves like a train that goes very fast and also not forgetting to stop by the right stations.

Entire film has been shot in Chennai during the nights. The cinematographer must surely given the credit to have visualized the city extremely well.

The direction skills of Mysskin is well known from his previous films,he has done a great job as well. The casts including Mysskin and Shri have all lived up to the characters. Interestingly all the characters were given animal-like shades (fox,lamb,tiger,bear etc).

Finally you have Illayaraja's soundtracks throughout the entire movie. One thing for sure, Illayaraja is the only person in India who can communicate intense emotions without words.

The movie has got no comedy but lots of humor. There is no romance in the movie, but it has got lots of love.At the end of day you will have a feel of experiencing,what is supposed to be world class cinema.

Go watch it for Mysskin and Maestro. Highly recommended.

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 Attukuttiyum breaks the modus operandi of Indian Cinema that follows a regular diagram we are all aware and definitely bored of. I would like to recall one of Mysskin's interviews with a film web portal, where he reiterated that this movie does not have a hero.

"My movie does not have a hero. But there will be characters that perform heroic deeds" He said

Mysskin is back with a simple story line pictured in brilliant way. He proves that his perfection in his every shot. Every character in this movie is scripted well and delivered at their best. A must watch movie for this who enjoy movie making. Way to go Mysskin! Please continue your perfection!

Onaiyum Aatukuttiyum -(A Wolf and A Lamb) - A tense,dark,nail biting thriller with a riveting screenplay containing no songs or comedy tracks and in typical Myshkin style. A simple script but shot well entirely without any drags. Sree's acting was simply perfect. The cinematography was stunning, considering the fact that almost the entire movie was shot at night. Above all,the soundtrack by Sir Ilayaraja was great (except for the final sword fight). Watch out for few amazing scenes like the one where Myshkin narrates his story in a single long take. Just don't miss this classic!

I wish they make more such movies in Tamil,to compete strongly in World Cinema, instead of doing the same commercial stuff over and over. I again wish that big actors have guts to act in movies like this. Hope audience turn out to watch such films.

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.

This movie is one hell of an unconventional thriller flick that made me watch without flickering. I can't say the reason for this. It could be Mysskin's (Original name: Raja) magic or the sweetness of the Maestro Illayaraja (the other Raja). It is one such movie in which the viewer must not read the plot/storyline for it spoils the thrill. The night shots are such a feast to the eyes and the director's acting was also fine. A special mention to young Sree from Vazhakku enn for he did a fine job too. Apart from these and other few, all the others were new faces. Some actors didn't act that fine which I believe is one flaw in the movie, but the camera guy was intelligent enough to focus at distance (Salute to Mysskin again). The other tiny flaw is few loose dialogs at the start of the movie. The movie features no songs but an excellent BGM that makes you remember Bach's Cello suite or Mozart's serenades. Imo, movies such as these must be the country's official entry to the academy. I'm eagerly waiting for Mysskin's next movie and gonna reserve the movie-ticket first-day first-show.

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.

the name itself explains the story - "a wolf and a lamb". the movie too had the same order of appearances - first appears the wolf and then the lamb. i went ahead without even paying attention to online critics because of one name - mysskin. he is such a wonderful director and all his movies, especially - anjadhey and yudham sei has made me his movie lover and here he handled such a heavy script in a very edge of a seat thriller manner..the cinematography and music omg.!! Ilayaraja sir with his BGMs just makes you travel alongside the main characters of the movie. although the movie is set in dark, the cinematography is handled well.. the frame itself tells you million. and i ought to say i have never seen such a movie with such an epic flashback.!! first of its kind in Tamil cinema and thanks to the ACTOR mysskin for bringing that out.! and Sri proves once again that he is no lesser than any-others in acting for such a script..!! i am sad that the film didn't get a good opening due to production problem but it will surely reach great highs like Anbe Sivam.

A must watch movie.! it has such a class in it. so the audience must have some in them too.!! 10 OUT OF 10. great work.!

Onayum Aatukuttiyum – a movie for the knowledgeable cinema goers.

Best scenes:

A group of blind were able to join a person to a killer known as wolf(hero) which is a travesty that the police with the eyes unable to reach him, the director punch lies in that scene.

Shot entirely at night these movie depicts the people of the netherworld, even if you want to do good your dark past wouldn't easily let you see the light.

If you want to give money for timely help a rich man would take it but not a pauper.

Professional doesn't go until finishing his work that applies also to a professional killer (The police who got shot at last who tried to escape by saluting).

The following scene after where a Police who tried to attack the wolf(hero) by asking for water but when needed who could never lay his hand on it.

The scene in the climax where the hero would naturally take the turn to go to the other and a killer who got red handed.

Cons:

All the police running to the originating station to the last station believing a killer's words and who cannot watch him or see him in the in between stations through other police to know about the killer's location.

The ability of the villain to go to the exact apartment in the climax scene without any information.

Pros:

Acting of Sri and Myskkin, Ilayaraja's music and Balaji V Rangha's Camera.

With no songs Back ground Music lends the important aroma to the gripping screenplay of the movie.

Just showing to Indian audiences that movie is just not for heroines and dances.

My take: I just cried in the climax and the BGM just enabled me to shed out more tears to come out not only popping but also just flow out and I would like you all to experience it if you are a real movie goer.

Director: Mysskin

Music Director: Ilaiyaraaja

Cinematography: Balaji V Rangha

One of the best movies made in India. A simple story, very racy screen play, fewer dialogs, speaking visuals - a new way of making cinema. Myshkkin gets back to what he does best - thrillers! The movie begins with a break neck pace and proceeds at an even pace right till the finish. No heroine, no stupid comedy scenes, no item songs (no songs at all!), no distractions whatsoever. The movie is so purposefully focused on what it intends to convey. Myshkkin honors Ilaiyaraaja by titling Foreground Music Score: Ilaiyaraaja. Fully deserved credit. Music is so great as if it the protagonist in the movie. Ilaiyaraaja has set a new benchmark in musical score in India and has raised the bar to international standards. Must watch, both for Myshkkin and Ilaiyaraaja.

Onnayum Aatukuttiyum- The Wolf and the Lamb. My review.

As usual I saw the movie only now (Dec 25th), quiet late after the date it was released and portrayed but I watch once the cloud settles. This movie is truly one of a king and trend setter in today's hype and commercial filled Indian Cinema. Mysskin is an enormous of a director. In this movie he proved himself a good actor as well. The story though partially based on ancient Greek Aesop's Fable, The Wolf and the Lamb has been well knit and served neatly for Indian audience. Ilayaraja needs no comments, genius. The actors, lighting, location in and around Chennai everything was a master piece. Overall, loved it!

Wowwww....it's mesmerizing...the movie starts with the climax & total 140min explain about the climax only... there is no detail or depth about the characters but the magic is .... characters emotions easily convey to audience... everything is brilliant... technically top notch... especially music and cinematography... but the bad thing is movie bombed in box office

Excellent Writing and Shot Angles at the best. At its core, the story follows two young boys-nicknamed "Wolf" and "Goat"-who navigate a landscape of quiet tension and subtle beauty. What makes this film truly stand out is its ability to say so much with so little. Dialogue is minimal, and the cinematography does a lot of the storytelling, capturing the raw, unfiltered emotions of childhood and the austere beauty of the Georgian countryside.

The performances by the young actors are surprisingly mature. They carry the film with a mix of vulnerability and quiet strength that draws you in. The pacing may feel slow for those used to fast-moving plots, but it allows the emotional weight to build naturally, and the quiet moments often speak the loudest.

Wolf and Goat is not a film that seeks to entertain with flashy drama or elaborate twists. Instead, it gently immerses you in a world where even the smallest actions carry weight. It's thoughtful, moving, and lingers with you long after the credits roll.

The Antagonist at the beginning becomes the most lovable character at the end. Thoroughly loved each piece of the movie.

Boring, illogical and worst acting..why wolf wants to meet the boy?? To tell his past story? The acting was so bad that u cant connect urself with the movie.

This movie is definitely worth watching atleast a thousand times. A simple plot and an exceptional screenplay drived the anticipating two hours. Amazing cinematography and sound designing was the top notch of the movie. Crickets chirpping footsteps guns with silencers every aound was clearly amazing. And bgm the symphony was the one that drived this chase movie. Acting was so good and dramatic but still looks good. Overall a clever movie that did not get the sufficient attention.

This is not only one of the best tamil films of al time but also one of the best indian thrillers out there.another mysskin magic .may be his best work after nandhalal and yudhem sei.moved by the script and what a mesmerizing bgm .ILAYARAJA SIR.you are again proving you are one of the best muscical geniuses of world cinema

Its a masterpiece by Mysskin and Ilaiyaraja and the movie starts with a medical student Chandru(Shri) finding an injured man Wolf(Mysskin) in chennai roads. Late Chandru comes to know that Wolf is a wanted criminal by police at the same time Wolf escapes. Chandru tries to help the police finding Wolf. Consequences after the incident tells a heart touching flashback saying how Wolf was caught into the tragedy and what he is trying to do. Mysskin has told an extra-ordinary story and screenplay about a Wolf became a lamb and a Lamb has a Wolf instinct.

A must see movie, the background music is excellent and Ilaiyaraja proves again he is a genius.

9.1 this my rating. At first i expected this movie to be another cliche movies which is portrayed as to be a pretentious artist movie by some people to justify lazy writing, but i was pleasantly surprised by the end. The slow motion of the movie was fitting to the story . At the same time not knowing the back story helped us travel along with the protagonist. The back story not being told explicitly and through the flow at the end really helped to create a feeling of rush throughout the movie. I really love the acting of myskin and the protagonist and the portrayal of guilt and repentance by both of them.

One of the amazing movies I have ever seen... The movie makes you to sit and think about what's next and why the wolf is doing all these activities... After watching the movie i was able to realize that we also have the great directors and the great movies in Tamil... I feel bad that this kind of movies are not making much profit and a normal movie with a hero's intro songs and action seq making its profit in box office.... It would have been great if the casting was given a little more care... But no worries the acting done by the main roles expect the CBI officers are really great and no more words to tell this is simply amazing....

Despite some minor flaws and cinematic liberties taken, this was a great find. I am really surprised that this movie was not one of the all time block busters. Purely screenplay driven and good performances. A must watch for crime thriller audience.
