This is not only one of the best tamil films of al time but also one of the best indian thrillers out there.another mysskin magic .may be his best work after nandhalal and yudhem sei.moved by the script and what a mesmerizing bgm .ILAYARAJA SIR.you are again proving you are one of the best muscical geniuses of world cinema

Saw the movie last week having read countless critic reviews and user opinions that claim this movie as the best of the year.Yeah..the movie started off pretty decent featuring some scenes i haven't seen elsewhere...at least in Indian Cinema. But as time went by the film started turning incredibly stupid and laughably bad. The way the actor Sri acted is one of the most spectacular piece of overacting i have ever seen in any film.His walking looked so artificial and at the same time unintentionally hilarious.His eyes looked like they are gonna pop out any time.The operation scene lies on the line of stupidity and hilarious making it confusing what to make out of the scene(3 Idiots,anyone??). All the other actors,except one or two,also features amateurish acting which looked so stupid.The policemen were the worst of the lot.They keep running in groups and stops at a point and says something along the lines of "the villain is there..lets go there.." and runs like buffoons.I don't know if its a deliberate move by the film maker to incite dark humor but clearly it didn't work for me at all.I think this would work better in a comedy but to include them in a rather serious one like this,would opt NO. Most characters carry guns and uses them like a toy in the hand of a child.Is it another move to create Black humor?I don't know. Jumping from a train holding beds??Works better in a cartoon,Mysskin.. Seeing all this utter nonsense unfolding each minute without any good storyline..i strongly craved for some plot to surface towards the end.But what i got is some half baked story line,which is intended to explain all the happenings, but eventually made no sense at all and created more plot holes.The much acclaimed long take in which Wolf tells his back story in a 'metaphorical' way is brilliantly taken but the acting was flawed.We never got to sympathize with the character.So all the melodrama in that scene didn't work at all.But one thing i would like to appreciate is that he didn't blink not even once during the whole take!!That was incredible but again..futile. A blind child,in spite of all the violent acts and gun shooting happened all around her keep asking for some bed time story!!!Never have i became so annoyed by a child since Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. Have read many a places that this film is full of metaphors.Yeah..i agree with that.BUT SO MANY OBVIOUS IN-YOUR-FACE METAPHORS!!Phew..thats so pretentious and amateurish..at least for me.For example..the character WOLF really becomes one when he ties a rope in his back and let it hang like a tail!. This is metaphors for dumb Indian audience. The film's only saving grace would be its soundtrack by Ilayaraja.It is out of the box thinking and clearly worked well.Though it annoyed me some place like in the end..its done in a rather good way elsewhere. The final in the coffin is nothing but its climax.In which the villain's henchmen decide to give up guns(a cliché we got tired of seeing in movies) and take swords to fight the 'Wolf'. How out of place is that?what ensues is one the 'so-bad-its-good' sequences which would go down in the hall of fame of movies.Witness it for yourself. Why the film is compared to me 'Aaranya Kaandam is way beyond me.The latter was a fresh breath into the Indian Cinema and never fails to fascinate me with its innovative screenplay and clever,smart dialogue.But this one is a travesty. This film may have worked well for some people and i respect them. This is clearly my view on the film and only mine. Footnote:This film claims as that it has no heroine and no song. That doesn't ensure movie quality,mind it Mysskin.

Onayum Aatukuttiyum – a movie for the knowledgeable cinema goers.Best scenes:A group of blind were able to join a person to a killer known as wolf(hero) which is a travesty that the police with the eyes unable to reach him, the director punch lies in that scene.Shot entirely at night these movie depicts the people of the netherworld, even if you want to do good your dark past wouldn't easily let you see the light.If you want to give money for timely help a rich man would take it but not a pauper.Professional doesn't go until finishing his work that applies also to a professional killer (The police who got shot at last who tried to escape by saluting).The following scene after where a Police who tried to attack the wolf(hero) by asking for water but when needed who could never lay his hand on it.The scene in the climax where the hero would naturally take the turn to go to the other and a killer who got red handed.Cons: All the police running to the originating station to the last station believing a killer's words and who cannot watch him or see him in the in between stations through other police to know about the killer's location.The ability of the villain to go to the exact apartment in the climax scene without any information.Pros:Acting of Sri and Myskkin, Ilayaraja's music and Balaji V Rangha's Camera.With no songs Back ground Music lends the important aroma to the gripping screenplay of the movie.Just showing to Indian audiences that movie is just not for heroines and dances.My take: I just cried in the climax and the BGM just enabled me to shed out more tears to come out not only popping but also just flow out and I would like you all to experience it if you are a real movie goer.Director: MysskinMusic Director: IlaiyaraajaCinematography: Balaji V Rangha

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.
