Jallikattu is a Malayalam thriller from director Lijo Jose Pellissery about a buffalo that escapes a slaughterhouse and sends a remote Kerala village into collective chaos. The hunt becomes a pressure cooker for male aggression, crowd psychology, and the thin line between civilization and frenzy. Most of the signals that typically drive a strong political or social label, family framing, identity politics, religious content, are simply absent here. The film leans into primal spectacle rather than ideological argument. The label is Mixed, reflecting a movie that unsettles comfortable assumptions about human nature without neatly endorsing a progressive or traditional worldview. The chaos is the point.
