Oru Pennum Randaanum (Translation: A Woman and Two Men) is a 2008 Malayalam feature film written and directed by Adoor Gopalakrishnan.

The film has four separate chapters, each based on independent short stories written by Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai. The film is about four crimes of different nature that happen in different contexts and situations. The setting is the Princely State of Travancore, South India in the 1940s.
