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.
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
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
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'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!
Did you know
- TriviaOnaayum Aattukuttiyum which was produced by Mysskin for his home banner Lone Wolf Productions, had garnered appreciation from audience, the film has not reached the desired level at the box-office, due to paucity of funds to promote. This has initiated Mysskin himself to plunge directly into marketing by sticking posters of the film in various southern cities of Tamil Nadu.
