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.

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

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

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 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.
