Why so much hype?
I wanted to but couldn't!
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
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.
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....
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.
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.
