Jallikattu

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.

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.

Lijo Jose Pellissery directed Jallikattu is a splendid movie. It will leave you spellbound. Credit goes to the director and the cameraman. Gireesh Ganagadharan. 🙏🙏🙏 Anthony verghese, Sabumon and Chemban Vinod were outstanding with their acting . Background score by Prashant Pillai was amazing .They largely used acapella-based background score. UFfff😍😍🙏🙏🙏 This movie is insane and well choreographed chaos. What happens if a buffalo who was bought to slaughter runs and creates a chaotic situation in a village in Iddukki. It creates lot of confusion ,havoc ,violence etc. The entire village close to 100 -200 men go out day and night to catch the buffalo and at the end become an animal and starts fighting with each other. The climax is so nicely shot, Hatts off to the director and the cameraman. It's a must watch movie. You have to experience this in theatres especially for the cinematography and music..

This movie will stand out for its technical brilliance and I am sure it has taken mollywood movies to a different level.. #oscarcalling.
