新移民Anjani終於找到份政府工,還能與首相一起在市政廳做同事。怎料打聽之下發現前人走得如車輪轉,皆因這份工要與馬騮打交道!身為「猴子驅趕員」,他每天要到市中心住宅區嚇走出沒的馬騮,免得達官貴人受驚。Anjani的一腔熱血極速被聰明的動物們打敗,但辭工回家又行不通,只好咬緊牙關迎接每天上演的馬騮戲。但在兩者大鬥法的過程中,Anjani發現,原來自己也不過是這個階級社會中除之而後快的「害蟲」,猴子驅趕員換個角度也是被社會厭棄的一群⋯⋯笑中有淚的小人物故事與無情的現實社會,竟然不過一線之隔。
For years, the New Delhi government employed captive langurs to keep smaller monkeys at bay. Due to outcry from animal rights activists, this practice was eventually banned. But something still has to be done about all those macaques now roaming free around government complexes and residences. Hence, the need for a new position: monkey repeller. Prateek Vats’s satirical comedy-drama follows young migrant Anjani, who lands this “government job” that essentially requires him to act as a human primate. Bolstered by Shardul Bharadwaj’s excellent performance and deft observations of life for India’s urban underclass, Eeb Allay Ooo! is as absurd and dynamic as its title.
