Jallikattu is a 2019 Malayalam-language action-thriller by Lijo Jose Pellissery that unfolds in a rural village after a bull escapes during a traditional cattle drive. As villagers chase the animal, pride, rage and fear collide in a brutal chain reaction that exposes collective violence, masculinity, and the fragility of civilization. The director’s ferocious long takes, chaotic energy, and stark social allegory create a feral, immersive parable about humanity pushed to the edge.
