Onaayum Aattukkuttiyum

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.

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!

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

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!
