Eeb Allay Ooo
(88 mins/ Hindustani with English subtitles/ 2019)
by Prateek Vats
About the Film: Eeb Allay Ooo! is an independently produced feature film. It follows the absurd, and at times, the outright farcical journey of Anjani, a young migrant who is hired to shoo away rampaging monkeys from Government offices by mimicking aggressive langurs - their natural enemies. The struggles and misadventures of Anjani become the lens to examine the realities and contradictions of contemporary India.
