A Neat Little Suspense Drama
a standalone product Oru Naal Iravil is a neat first effort from Antony. There is a sense of going nowhere in the initial minutes but very soon things fall in place and the 'what happens next?' feel is very much there from here on. With limited characters and the action being confined to very few locations it is the triumph of good writing that stands out and keeps us hooked. (more)

Watch Oru Naal Iravil to be amazed how simple things can hit you hard
ONI is designed in a way that your attention does not get directed towards any technicalities involved in filmmaking, but that itself is a big plus for an attempt to narrate an incident that takes place in a person�s life in a span of 2 days. If you put on your evaluator glasses then MS Prabhu�s cinematography and Editor Anthony�s cuts have very subtly raised the film�s output. (more)

Gripping
Oru Naal Iravil�s biggest strength is the outstanding performance of all the actors. Especially, Sathyaraj as the middle aged man brings so much life to his character. The way he ferociously reacts in the initial portions and his expressions during the embarrassing situations are praise-worthy, once again the actor has proved that he is a bundle of talent!(more)

A fairly engrossing fare
The biggest plus of Oru Naal Iravil is its apt casting by Antony! Sathyaraj shines as the middle-aged man caught in a predicament, albeit going slightly over the top at few places. Anu Mol gives a natural performance be it her body language, facial expression or dialogue delivery. (more)

A touching transformation
The film is all about unexpected events that connect three men (Sekar, a family head, an Auto-driver and a filmmaker who needs a break in career) and a woman (sex-worker). With this setting the film aspires to be a thriller with strong emotional content.(more)

A mature story that treats the audience like infants
For a film made by an editor, the scenes just don�t come together. They look disconnected. The greasing of the parts that makes a film one giant well-oiled machine�that doesn�t happen at all. The characters don�t draw us in either. (more)
