Jallikattu is a 2019 Indian Malayalam-language action film directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery and written by S. Hareesh and R. Jayakumar. The movie is loosely based on the short story "Maoist" by Hareesh. The film features Antony Varghese, Chemban Vinod Jose, Sabumon Abdusamad, and Santhy Balachandran in the lead roles. The plot of the movie revolves around a buffalo that manages to escape from its owner's clutches and wreaks havoc in a small village in Kerala. The villagers, led by butcher Kuttachan (played by Chemban Vinod Jose), try to catch the buffalo but find that it is far smarter and more cunning than they expected. The situation quickly spirals out of control as the mob mentality of the villagers takes over, leading to chaos and violence. The film is an allegory for human nature and society, and how easily things can turn chaotic and violent.

The film features stunning cinematography by Girish Gangadharan, capturing the lush landscapes of Kerala and the intense action sequences with equal aplomb. The movie's sound design by Renganaath Ravee enhances the tension and drama, adding to the already immersive experience.

The performances of the lead actors are top-notch, with Antony Varghese delivering a standout performance as Antony, a dim-witted thug who stirs up trouble in the village. Chemban Vinod Jose is excellent as Kuttachan, the butcher who leads the charge against the buffalo. Sabumon Abdusamad is also noteworthy as the police officer who tries to intervene and bring the situation under control.

The film's director, Lijo Jose Pellissery, is known for his unconventional and experimental approach to filmmaking, and Jallikattu is no exception. The film eschews traditional narrative structures and instead relies on a combination of stunning visuals, gripping sound design, and compelling performances to tell its story. The result is a visceral and intense movie that will stay with audiences long after the credits roll.

Jallikattu premiered at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received critical acclaim and was India's official entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 93rd Academy Awards. The movie has won several awards and accolades, including five Kerala State Film Awards, including Best Director and Best Actor for Chemban Vinod Jose.

Overall, Jallikattu is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates bold and daring filmmaking. It is a cinematic experience like no other, and a testament to the power of storytelling in all its forms.

Jallikattu is a 2019 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 35 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.3.
