Jallikattu

A little village where eating beef is a daily priority, one morning the buffalo which was to be butchered ran away and what follows is 90 minutes of awe-inducing pandemonium. From the visionary director Lijo Jose Pellissery comes a technical masterpiece which has a strong message about the animalistic traits of us humans & also the herd mentality & devolution of human beings. This film is not plot driven, instead it deals with events & an army of characters constanty moving from one place to another. The sound design & cinematography is on another level. Only cons are the acting of some characters & the last scene which is basically a spoonfeeding of the message. It deserves to be our Oscar Entry, hopefully it can campaign well enough to have a chance.

Cannot believe that the movie is came by a malayalam director in malayalam industry. Fabulous is not enough to describe the movie Nailed it

The plot is very simple - "Hundreds of people chasing to tame the bull that went amok". But at the end, there is an unanswered question - Who is wild here? Man (or) the animal? Like his earlier movie 'Angamalay Diaries', Lijo Jose has captured the life style of the village town wonderfully. Special mention to the night photography and sound effects team. Though the movie makes you wonder at times - 'Where this movie is heading to?', it is a worthy watch and an unique film.

Typical of what we would like Lijo Jose Pallisery to direct. Dont watch it if u have a weak heart...lol

Lijo Jose Pallisserry is a trademark in Malayalam cinema now. Audiences will rush into the theatres for movies made by him without a star cast or big budget just like Hollywood directors Quentin Tarantino or Christopher Nolan. We all know he won't disappoint and it will be worth watching in theatres. Jallikattu is the most anticipated movie in his career so far on par with Double Barrell. We all waited for Double Barrell mainly because of the stellar cast and big budget. But for Jallikkattu, all the expectations are for LJP. The film screened in various film festivals and received applauds. Jallilattu is a 91 minute roller-coaster. The movie never slows down. The pacing of the movie increases more and more from start to end. A big salute for Girish Ganagadharan. His cinematography is simply the best in Indian movies in recent times. The bgm was also very good. As for the performances, every cast did an excellent job. Jallikattu proves that LJP is getting more and more good by his every next movies. Highly waiting for his next release.
