Jallikattu 2019 (2019) | Malayalam
In Lijo Jose Pellissery’s Jallikattu, a buffalo escapes slaughter and runs amuck in a village in Idukki. How dangerous does this situation sound? I mean, it’s a buffalo, not — say — a leopard. And it’s not exactly been drugged and prodded and provoked, like in the Tamil Nadu bull-taming event the title suggests. So are we to imagine this most bucolic of creatures on a rampage — running nonstop for the 90-minute duration of the film, causing fires and devastating crops? But this absurdity is an integral part of this narrative, adapted from S Hareesh’s short story, Maoist. I Googled up the story, and found that it has a second buffalo, and that it’s about the Maoist situation and a person’s right to freedom. Even in the movie, the buffalo is a metaphor. But Jallikattu, is first and foremost, a textbook example of how to make an experimental movie that’s also a most entertaining movie.
