Jallikettu is based on a short story, titled Maoist, written by Hareesh S. Aiding the fluidity of the narrative further is Renganaath Ravee's sound design.
In Jallikettu, where frenzied chaos ensues, his nuanced music, and most often lack thereof, puts in just the right amount of sanity into the narrative so that the audience can grasp what unfolds on the screen. Prashant Pillai is a musician who appreciates and manoeuvres music and silences alike. His capable lens arrests the audience precisely to what needs to be watched. Jallikettu shines through with the spectacular and spellbinding visuals Girish Gangadharan puts forth in the race, as well as the pause. And that brings us to the brilliant execution of it all. The shove, and push and pull of Jallikettu comes from within the crowd. But at the end of the day, Jallikettu will not be known for their acting alone as this is the story of a mob. In a story that starts as man versus wild, it doesn't take that long before man becomes the wild.Ĭhemban Vinod, Antony Varghese, Sabumon Abdusamad and Santhy Balachandran, all good actors, makes their mark within the limited screen time they receive. It shines a mirror at the face of the machismo we have internalised as a society. Jallikettu, not at all subtly, is emblematic of the gross violence we are used to in the name of masculinity. Nailing it then becomes a matter of masculine pride, awaking the primal instinct of every man in the village. Jallikettu is truly beast vs animal, and it is up to you, the viewer, to decide who is who.Ī buffalo runs amok before the butcher Varkeychan (Chemban Vinod) could slaughter it, causing the entire village to slip into a progressive bedlam.
It proves that Lijo Jose Pellissery is the ‘king of chaos’. Review : Anyone who has watched Lijo Jose Pellissery's Angamali Diaries knows what this man's control is over mob mayhem. What follows is a tale of bruised beasts and egos. Story : Chaos ensues when Varkey's slaughter buffalo runs amok into the midst of a village.
