Jallikattu

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.

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

9/10

Plot: A buffalo escapes from a butcher and all the villagers band together to hunt it.

I liked the trailer. Though the film turned out to be different than what I expected from the trailer. I still liked the film. I was hooked from the first scene, I did not know what was going on or how it will turn out but the making is so good that I was glued to my seat. The cinematography is out of this world. The editor has done an amazing job. The film just flows. The pacing is perfect. The background music is oddly perfect. The atmosphere created by the film maker sucked me in. It is an extremely rewarding experience. My heart beat raised in some scenes as if I was there. The rawness is sometime hard to watch.

There seems to be a meaning behind the film which I did not quite get. The beast nature of human is pointed out but there are few things that is still making me ponder. I liked the film just fine without getting too deep into the meaning behind it. I don't think I have seen a film like this before. It is an innovative, beautiful, raw, thrilling and thought provoking film.

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.
