Synopsis:

JALLIKATTU follows the catastrophic events that unfold when a butcher's buffalo escapes and runs amok through a remote village in the hill ranges of Kerala. The local men's quest to take down the deadly bull quickly unleashes their vile primal instincts. As the boundaries between man and beast disappear, the hunt crescendoes into a senseless and self-destructive frenzy of violence.
