Jallikattu, starring Antony Varghese, Chemban Vinod Jose and Sabumon Abdusamad, and directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery, is a kinetic spectacle on screen. It follows the director's acclaimed Ee.Ma.Yau. Based on S Hareesh's short story Maoist, the film explores themes such as the real nature of machismo and the relationship between humans and Nature.
At a basic level, the film is about retrieving a lost buffalo. But, that one-line summary does not explain the surreal energy of the film, which throws itself, over and over again, into spectacular chaos. Jallikattu is largely a visual film with well-written and relatively sparse dialogues. People have been picking it for its 'meaning' ever since it released.
