Jallikattu is a film about Mallu rednecks - people who live in the hilly regions. But too much style and shouting over character development ruins the film to an extent. It is nowhere as good as Agamaly Diaries.
Worth a watch for the crowd scenes. But zero character development and strange background score ruins it a little. A bit of a miss for Lijo. And the final oooh message ..... We might wear clothes and all but we are just animals at the end of the day. Lijo is someone who loves the masculine men and the fight for territory. Here he tried to show it's dark side and sort of fell flat.
The supporting cast is full of unremarkable nobodies unlike in Angamay Diaries where every bit player made an impression.
A subplot involving an alcoholic Christian patriarch organizing a function and being scared of not getting enough meat was entertaining.
So many lost opportunities in Malayalam cinema to capture the lives of the people who live in the hilly regions. Either the director gets carried away with style like in the case of Jallikattu or is some boring blowhard.
I wonder whether the final scene is an allegory for overpopulation.
