Hired as a monkey repeller upon moving to Delhi, a young man struggles to find his footing in his unenviable job and his place in an unforgiving world.

Jay Weissberg

Variety

Dehumanizing power dynamics underscore Prateek Vats' enjoyable debut about a guy ill-suited to his new job as monkey chaser in Delhi.

An original social farce where men become the monkeys.

The degree of depth and sensitivity demonstrated by Director Prateek Vats in his debut feature film is stuff of auteurs. Equally commendable are cinematographer Sahi's visuals of this social satire. Seek out this gem if you already haven't discovered it.

Eeb Allay Ooo! is the rare social satire that has the courage of its convictions. Through sweeping use of metaphor, Vats addresses themes as prickly as nationalism and religious bigotry; the plight of the marginalised, and the entitlement of the elite.

The satire holds up beautifully as long as it explores the ridiculousness of Anjani's situation, but slips when the line between predator and prey begins to blur.

Eeb Allay Ooo! feels as real as if it were a reality show or a documentary feature. Heartbreaking. And beautiful.

A good introduction to man-animal urban conflict in the capital of a country. Or a candid commentary on migrant labour.

I was quite surprised when I watched this movie. The topic of this film is unique. A beautifully made cinema! Hats off to the entire team for such a realistic yet creative film that inspires upcoming filmmakers for experimenting with new ideas and stories.

Absolutely fell in love with the movie. The cinematography perfectly captures the Delhi haze, the chaotic backdrop and the direction and acting are on point. It's a delight to watch Shardul Bhardwaj on screen as he conveys the most complex emotions with complete ease. The film is a satire and while the plot crawls forward as slowly as possible there is't a moment in the film that lacks meaning and could've been cut. Absolutely recommend this movie !

Although interesting from an ethnographic and ethological perspective, the story is pretty minimal, and it doesn't really go anywhere very interesting.
