Onaayum Aattukkuttiyum

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 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

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'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!
