In the Belly of a Tiger Review by Sucharita Tyagi –
Jatla, who shares writing credits with Amanda Mooney, isn’t just talking about the apathy of systems towards people of rural India, but also about the trappings of patriarchy that harm men, occasionally just as much as they do women. But he’s also wondering and exploring, does oppression really SEE gender, a pregnant woman will get a job lifting bricks and breaking stones all day, but an older man can’t for fear of him dying on the job and the manager having to deal with paperwork. Saharsh, a name that means joyful and happy is a soft-hearted man forced to harden himself to the brutal reality of the world he lives in. “They’ll train us to count our pain as blessings he says”.

After this, Jatla focuses his story more on Saharsh’s older parents, a couple with an actual love story, a life lived with sneh and pyaar, now considering being eaten by the tiger for money. The parents are Hindu, they are believers, and have faith ki iss janam mein nahi, agli life mein things will be better. Through these two, and the final act of the film, you are made to think not just about the broken and poor citizens of this country, but also about the role religion plays in our lives.

The Berlin International Film Festival (German: Internationale Filmfestspiele Berlin), usually called the Berlinale is a major international film festival held annually in Berlin, Germany. Founded in 1951 and originally run in June, the festival has been held every February since 1978 and is one of Europe’s “Big Three” film festivals alongside the Venice Film Festival held in Italy and the Cannes Film Festival held in France.

A tiger is wreaking havoc in an Indian village. Deaths are becoming more frequent, but tigers are protected. As the farmers are not allowed to hunt them, they demand compensation from the government and receive it. The tiger’s life is now worth more than theirs. An elderly couple, Bhagole and Prabhata, newly returned to the village with their son and two granddaughters, now only own their house and the bull, after having sold their land to try their luck in the city. All they now have to offer is their labour, which makes them prone to blackmail, like everyone else in the village. The film clearly highlights the vicious cycle of exploitation at the local brick factory, but also devotes time to the relationships between the family members, allowing them to develop their ideas of value and reciprocity until these come to a head one desperate night when they have to decide: Can the family escape their fate if one of them “invests” their life? Caught between real events and the magical lotus blossoms from the belly of Lord Vishnu, Siddartha Jatla’s In the Belly of a Tiger is a poignant critique of capitalism.
