The title Jallikattu is exemplary Misleading and how on earth a Buffalo is related to Jallikattu... It is no way reflects or relevant to the Tamil's traditional Bull chasing sport which actually helps to preserve and save the variety of country bulls and to select the strong and healthy ones for breeding and most primarily for the milk which contains A2 protein which is super essential for babies and children. A2 protein milk cannot be produced by cross breed or Jersey cows. We Tamils feed the bulls with food which have proteins and carbs all the year, it will grow as our family member, we shower love on it as we do to our children, Whole family erupts in joy and celebrate if it won in jallikattu festival, when it dies we cry as as if our family member dies....We conduct funeral and bury it in our own land with full respect. Tamils never see Jallikattu Bull as a food or animal.

9/10 Plot: A buffalo escapes from a butcher and all the villagers band together to hunt it. I liked the trailer. Though the film turned out to be different than what I expected from the trailer. I still liked the film. I was hooked from the first scene, I did not know what was going on or how it will turn out but the making is so good that I was glued to my seat. The cinematography is out of this world. The editor has done an amazing job. The film just flows. The pacing is perfect. The background music is oddly perfect. The atmosphere created by the film maker sucked me in. It is an extremely rewarding experience. My heart beat raised in some scenes as if I was there. The rawness is sometime hard to watch. There seems to be a meaning behind the film which I did not quite get. The beast nature of human is pointed out but there are few things that is still making me ponder. I liked the film just fine without getting too deep into the meaning behind it. I don't think I have seen a film like this before. It is an innovative, beautiful, raw, thrilling and thought provoking film.

This film has nothing to do with jallikattu practice.

I watched this movie after hearing a lot of positive reviews and I was unmistakably, utterly, disappointed. I wanted to quit after the first fifteen minutes but assumed that I was prematurely judging the movie. Turns out I was wrong. This movie is a mix of poor acting and poor character development. I would even say that the only good acting was done by the buffalo, which, luckily, opened its mouth only to eat. The movie kept on repeating the same scenarios again and again, boring the hell out of the viewers. The director thinks that if the characters in a movie smokes, drinks and uses foul abusive language with each other, it somehow becomes a good movie. I wish I had listened to my guts and just walked out. But too late, alas.

The plot is very simple - "Hundreds of people chasing to tame the bull that went amok". But at the end, there is an unanswered question - Who is wild here? Man (or) the animal? Like his earlier movie 'Angamalay Diaries', Lijo Jose has captured the life style of the village town wonderfully. Special mention to the night photography and sound effects team. Though the movie makes you wonder at times - 'Where this movie is heading to?', it is a worthy watch and an unique film.

This movie is not about the Tamil traditional sport - Jallikattu. In fact this is misleading and I would not recommend this to anybody who wishes to know more on Jallikattu.

This film's title is misleading with its content. Tamils never eat or kill Cow meat after Jallikattu Sport. "When a foriegner watches this movie they will think Jallikattu is a sport to kill and eat Buffalo meat, which is completely wrong". Jallikattu sport is to find the Healthiest and Strongest Bull, later cows are allowed to mate with the strongest Bull, so that the future cow/bull species will be healthier and stronger.
