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.

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

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.

Such a realistic movie, with gripping storyline and acting.

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