Eeb Allay Ooo!—the 2020 Indian satirical drama film directed by Prateek Vats. It’s a quirky and thought-provoking movie!

The film follows a young man named Sunti, who migrates to Delhi in search of a job. He ends up working as a “monkey repeller,” tasked with scaring monkeys away from the high-end offices and buildings in the city. To do this, he’s given a wooden stick and taught to shout “Eeb Allay Ooo!”—which is the titular phrase.

While the movie presents a surreal, almost absurd premise, it’s also a sharp social commentary on issues like labor exploitation, the complexities of urban life, and class divides. Sunti’s journey reflects the alienation and struggles of migrant workers, as well as their efforts to adapt and survive in a system that often seems indifferent to their well-being.

The film blends humor with poignant observations about modern society, with “Eeb Allay Ooo!” being both a literal chant and a symbol of the dehumanizing aspects of work and survival in a big city.
