Pattiyude Divasam ((ml|പട്ടിയുടെ ദിവസം), (alternate title - A Dog's Day)) is a 2001 Indian political satire film directed by Murali Nair.
It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival.[1] It was also screened at the 2001 Toronto International Film Festival[2] and the 2001 Chicago International Film Festival.[3]
The film met with critical praise. Unni R. Nair of the Screen magazine commented, "The film, shot in a totally rural background in Kuttanad, represents on a microscopic scale the state of affairs all over the world in the present day. Political developments, coup attempts, meaningless peace-talks and accords, third-party mediation - everything is taken up for discussion, of course, on a miniature level. And the film becomes a really thought-provoking, brilliant social and political satire. A highlight of the film is that it has got very good quality spot recording that renders it an air of naturality."[4]
