Valu: The Wild Bull (2008) Country: India Language: Marathi Year: 2008 Color/BW: COLOR Category: Feature Film Genre: Comedy, Drama Description n the small village of Kusavde', Valu , the wild bull is at loose and is blamed for every single act of chaos and destruction that happens in and around the village. Now catching the bull becomes equivalent to establishing power in the village for the leaders and for those who are interested in the fringe benefits.
A forest officer is called from the city to catch the bull. And what we go through is a roller-costar ride , with the war between the two leaders ; love-stories that bloom in the midst of the adventure; an amateur filmmaker who struggles to shoot a documentary; the forest officer who leads this chaos like a sacred mission; along with the religious priest; the tricksters, and a mad woman who seems to understand the mind of Valu!
The film is complex yet amusingly hilarious allegory, where The Valu represents the free will. The film touches you with its simple 'slice of life' treatment full of sensitivity and insight.
