Fish in the hook) is a 1977 Indian Tamil-language thriller film directed by Ra.
The film stars Lakshmi, Mohan Sharma and Major Sundarrajan.
The film was remade in Hindi as Trishna (1978), in Kannada as Avala Hejje (1981) and in Telugu as Bandhalu Anubandhalu (1982).
The critic also added the film felt too slow after the interval and duets could have been removed to avoid lagging but praised Sankaran's direction and concluded whether fish (meen) got caught by hook (thoondil) but a good story got trapped in Thoondil Meen.
