The thing that makes me sad is that Americans and Europeans just know about Bollywood in India. Such movies deserve global recognition!
The level of detailing and hidden details in the movie demands a second or third watch
Because you didn't understand the movie

"The real Maadan is "pellisery". We are the "Thirumeni's" who picked up the enampechi (movie).
And we are going around and around we won't find the answer."

Lol, damn right 😂🤣👌

Very true
The old woman holding axe running towards the man is the most Insane scene, literally.
It reminded me of the chase scene in 1917. Goosebumps!

Nope
Vinay fort getting possessed was the most intense
No its not..you just watched that on trailer
We really need to appreciate jammy for Venturing into other languages and trying to understand these films! Keep up the good work bro🥰 Love from Kerala!
I agree
Ayesha anwar 😊
Keep up the good work bro
What other option does he have; watch bollywood??? Lol
Malayalam cinema storytelling always fascinates me. I just want to like shadow them in their creative brainstorming room.
@A Nayak 💯
A lot of films in Malayalam requires global recognition. Sadly, the Indian film industry is only known for Bollywood, here in Kerala we have excellent actors(both male and female). Thanks to you for reviewing this movie. Love from Kerala
Underrated back home is our technicians and craftsmen! Our concern is mostly about the actors.
Well, who does the PR - its their job
Bro people watch South indian but only the masala telugu tamil movie.... Everyone should watch malayalam movie.....movies from Kerala gives. .... we indians have creativity we just don't appreciate the real movie
Iam from himachal and I love malyalam cinema. Yes, it is underrated, more focus should be given towards marketing
@Lion King yeah every industry make good movie tamil,telugu, Malayalam,kannada ,assemese,bengala,oriya and punjabi,marathiand etc...but masala got audience the in cinemas.
..
Without the language there is no Churuli. When they cross the bridge the language shift immediately sets you up for what's ahead.
Lets remember jellikattu budget was only 3 crore . Imagine this guy gets 100 crore rupees to make a film🤯🤯🤯
It’s not about the budget, but the canvas you are projecting the film to
More the budget producer will force director to add failproof addictives and flavours to movies like few item numbers, mass dialogues, psedokarate action numbers after all this director may get 1 hr of to movie space
Exactly.. he could blow people's minds with a big budget..
We will make 50 movies..😀
@@sainulabid7854 yes he will make 5 great movies 😁
I have a totally different approach to the movie . Churali is the 'purgatory'- the place for final purification before ascension and after death.The two policeman represent Body(Vinod) and Soul ( Vinay).The body has all the vices like smoking drinking and is happy with churuli for their is no restriction of laws pertaining to a civil society. This proves that the body is weak but it can be cured by an external agent like how Vinod's ailment is cured by the lady.The body is incapable of any enlightenment or redemption on its own, it needs the soul for that .In the physical form the body also pays for the sins of the soul ( How Vinod pays the lady for Vinay's sins).The soul on the other hand is capable of experiencing things that cannot be explained( It's Vinay who sees the time machine and the light orb) .It is the soul that has the free will to question ones decision and chose its path and for that matter can be redeemed or doomed.It's the soul that remains the same but the body changes ( hence people remember Vinay but not Vinod).Churuli is the place for the soul ( Vinay) to uphold the sins in them .In the end it becomes clear that Joy ( the culprit ) they are looking for is Vinay himself.Churuli is a place for self realisation of the soul, to finally accept once sins and to repent .When that happens you are ready for ascension ( the last scene) .If that does not happen the soul is sent back again but in a different body (rebirth) and the cycle continues
Brilliant 🙏🙏
@vellichor... Super interpretation
That also make sense. But vinays fort character reminding some thing during slap competition what was that though,,,,,
Brother you really need to write movies or stories . You have a brilliant mind!
Good point of view, but even with this explanation, there are some problems, Vinay and chemban are not always together, they are experiencing totally different things. What is the role of Soubin here? And many more ...
One thing I hate is that people from Kerala is concentrating on the foul language used in the film rather than appreciating the beauty of the film. It is one of the best and proper Sci-Fi movies from India.
#LJPmagic 💯
Not getting the point of the outrage, where you completely dismiss what the film has achieved otherwise.
Ikr 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@TriedRefusedProductions The Kerala society lives on the prior side of the bridge (churuli reference😅). People here act as the flag bearer of morality but it’s the otherwise in reality. And this is the first of it’s kind in malayalam cinema, we don’t have any youtubers or content creators like BB or carry who puts out right cuss words in content. So it will take some time to get adjusted to.
@@TriedRefusedProductions I was waiting for this movie & absolutely loved it, it was kind of visual treat with excellent cinematography, sound design and concept..but this movie don't connect well with the local audiences because the concept is too complicated also the language used is too foul, probably a non keralatite don't get it
Try making this movie in any other state and then we'll talk :)
I'm in the category of people that love this movie Churuli. The things which made me love churuli is because of the setup, the screenplay, the cinematography, background score, sound design and the performances all coming on point in this film. Many theories can be interpreted but definitely Churuli is Lijo jose pellisery's most ambitious yet brilliant film in the Lijo verse films. The story by Vinoy Thomas is brilliant but you have to be brilliant in your vision to bring this on camera to life. If you clearly notice in the film, the older man who controls the village as you said, in a scene Vinay fort goes to his home and peeps through a wall to see a time machine kind of a thing. After that, you'll see many behavioural changes in Vinay fort's character. The criminal that they were searching were accused of killing wild animals and abuse against a child in which Vinay fort does these wrongdoings in the latter half of the film. The climax was literally beautiful although it's bizarre. Lijo literally gives a Nolanesque film. Lijo pairs up with actor Mammootty for the next film. Absolutely love churuli. I know Malayalam and tamil, the cuss words that were used is a bit of an exaggeration but quite enjoyed the film. Maybe Lijo needed those for the narrative perspective. And it's also justified as the place Churuli itself felt eerie and haunting. I loved all the three of his trilogy films ee.ma.yau, Jallikattu and Churuli. Awaiting his movie with Mammootty sir. Churuli is one of the most interesting and complexly brilliant sci fi films in the world for me because they've used the known loop concept and adapted it brilliantly for the Malayalam setup. Kudos to Lijo and team.
I want big budget film with Mammootty sir
Actually churuli is more like fantasy & supernatural movie... Not a scifi movie.
There is another hit movie by lijo called angamaly diaries
@@roshnasandeep678 Yeah know that. Raw and rustic, rooted and very grounded. Neat and enjoyable gangster film.
@@roshanb9637 I meant the loop itself is scifi concept. But yeah there's a fantasy thing going on.
Years ago when Traffic came out,mene tab hi bol diya tha ki Malayalam films are the future of India. My friends were laughing then. Look who's right now 💪
The movie traffic changed Malayali's road behavior towards ambulance. Now we could see most of the people giving way to Ambulance.
@@fridge_magnet Wow man... that's surprising how films can impact us
Where can I watch this movie?
@@crosswalker45 you may not like that movie today, it's hyperlink narrative was so fresh in Malayalam cinema back then, but looking back today i feel like people may not enjoy it as much.
The hindi remake is better made with thr same director, that's also named Traffic.
@@Nisha-tz2js Manoj Bajpai ...i guess??
Got to see the film when it was premiered at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) and there are few small differences comparing to how it is now being shown. In the festival cut instead of the swear words, they used a gibberish type of accent and that was called as 'churuli bhasha' and it was told in the beginning that the film will have a lot of churuli bhasha in it. Also, instead of the moon, it is shown that they are going inside a hypnotic wheel. There are also inserts of Vinay and Chemban looking into the mirror with the light like thing on their face, just like how they saw in the forest. The version that's available on SonyLIV is having few small additions and small Vfx changes. But the storytelling remains the same.
You may love this film or hate this film, but cannot deny the fact that it is an amazing attempt done from Lijo's end.
Is that something like this?ua-cam.com/video/bifmGtO56-Y/v-deo.html

@Lijo Mathew So what? Don’t people abuse in real life too? Abusive language does not make it a bad film… I makes it more real.. You may choose not to watch such movies but I guess majority of us here don’t mind it 🤷🏻♀️
@@prcharde abusing is not wrong but you may don't know the meaning but those who know malayalam will definitely understand it and in some level it gets disturbing definitely 👍
@Lijo Mathew
'No Hollywood movies have this level of abusive words' 🤣🤣🤣

@Lijo Mathew No Hollywood movie you have watched. Good that you specified. If you are an avid movie watcher, and have seen the movie Pulp fiction, there is an insane amount of swearing in it, but you would not feel it is abusive language, because it is the language of the characters, the criminals, just like in Churuli. The film's director has taken all possible steps for the film to not reach the wrong audience. I'm not sure waht everyone is blabbering about, but it was absolutely required.
@@jibinacca I liked churuli. But what he/she said is true. I have seen no film in any language with a degree of abusive language as much as churuli 😅
The real "Phatom" is actually the movie itself and the "thirumeni" is the viewer. You think you can tie down the Phantom, but its there in your head and all the loose clues in the movie are different paths being shown to you. You follow them but never reach anywhere but come back to another point(path) and roam around inside the "Churuli". Director's brilliance is 🔥🔥🔥
I finally understood the beauty of abstraction and started researching on paintings after decoding this movie and came very close to it or I thought so . Thanks jammy for confirming the multiple cycle theory . Also I want to mention about the two aliens with futuristic suits , what if they are also policemen who came way before all these cycles and converted like that by aliens, because we see them in a pair .
I think u are right, bcoz after Chemban goes to pengal, Jaffer Idukki says thr last time she left the guy after 4 days and also in a scene we see Chemban in alien suit walk down the spiral stairs
Have you got any books to suggest about paintings and stuff
you gave an idea. Those alien look-like 'things' could be the next two policemen who entered the forest after Jose and Vinay and could be on the way to the toddy shop. They look like aliens to Vinay because they are part of the next loop while we are currently with Jose and Vinay. So probably in next loop if we are with the next two policemen (currently alien forms) they will too see the 3rd next loop of alien look-like 'things' while Jose maybe loitering in the forest while Vinay is the fugitive.
The next two policemen to enter the loop could be Biju Menon and Prithiviraj ( my autocorrect wants me to change Prithiviraj to Antiviral)
@@terryyouth how biju Menon and prithviraj?

One main disadvantage of OTT is that we won't be able to watch gems like churuli in theatres 😪😪😪
They were not able to screen this movie in theaters due to it’s strong language. The movie wasn’t censored too. A much censored version was shown in IFFK last year. I remember Lijo Jose saying he wanted to make this movie in VR, but then don’t know what happened. VR would have been a trip.
In fact i feel releasing such movie on ott is good for audience as no one watches such movies in theaters
If this was a normal theatrical release,the audience would have become deaf at the end of the show due to continues beep sound .

This is my thoughts and understandings on CHURULI by lijo jose pellissery (spoilers ahead)
The spiral form which is visible at certain moments of the film is a representation of the whole narrative structure of the story. The film starts with a folk story voice-over and also it ends by denoting the same folk story. Which is why it felt as the nucleus of the whole film to me. The folk story is presented as a warning for us to be aware of the supernatural being called "maadan" who tricks a thirumeni by disguising into an ant-eater(eenampechi) to travel with him and get lost in a maze like forest. While in reality two cops are on a journey to catch a wanted criminal named joy who lives in churuli. The story of the film and the folk story is precisely intervened together in way that even audience us is tricked by the maadan. Lijo has placed a short sequence to denote that the maadan has joined you in the journey even before the journey started (when shaji can stares at something which is left unexplained) , which can be realised when we get to the climax. Just like the maadan in folks story. Thirumeni (monk) in the folk is parallel to the police in the reality(vinay &chemban) who is from the outside world and are hierarchically superior to the maadan and his parallels the criminals who are the insiders. As we could see how the superior outsiders loose their strength and path when they are in the kingdom of the insiders . The abusive dialect of the characters shows how bizzare and lawless churuli is.
To be clear the charector of vinay fort is the pawn of maadan(ant-eater) who lures chemban (thirumeni) vinod into the nucleus. The flickering memories/visuals vinay gets once in a while in the movie is him getting the glimpse of maadan's memmory who is litrally inside his head or who is controlling him from the beggning of the movie itself. Also the sudden familiarity about the forest, sudden nack of interaction with the locals, sudden abusive dialect of pure hearted shajivan(vinay), revenge by murdering a local guy are the clues for the fact that maadan has took over shajivan's(vinay) mind. Also the crimes commited by the accused joy who is a representation of maadan is repeated through shajivan(vinay) which are child molestation, illegal hunting and murder. The climax of the movie has left a space for multiple interpretations with the sci-fi and supernatural events happening. Coming to the making side of the film the direction and cinematography stands with its excellence while the sound and art direction stands down in a good way that audience are not given then chance to notice it which help the film to create whole new world of swirl and suck the audience into it.

Great to see in Indian filmmakers stepping up into new horizons. Best of luck to these visionaries

NEVER HAVE I EVER CLICKED ON A MOVIE REVIEW THIS FAST-
Churuli implies a mystery that is locked within a spiral scroll. The real outsiders are us, the viewers who have been mislead by the movie, whichitself is the maadan. Once we watch the movie we have entered into the loop ourselves. The various plot lines are just meant to keep us swirling in its mystery. It's an open ended loop with endless outcomes which all began with us sitting in the backseat of the two protagonists in the initial sequence.
The characters have seen vinay before and the old lady speaks of him in the past tense as it has all been watched before by us, the viewers. The moon that is shown in the climax and the lone individual who we see in the last animation is the representation of us, the viewer.
Churul means spiral. Not mystery. Mystery is nigoodatha.

I have a malayalam friend and she nags me to watch Kerala movies.. Now I'm seriously considering watching these masterpieces.
This film is one of those very few like Tumbbad which gets right what other films of the genre don't. Extemely immersive atmospherics and an infectious environment that sucks the viewers right into the narrative. Rather than only depending on cheap jump scares.

very interesting! Makes sense. We get rickrolled in the process of dissecting his film. We are the monk going astray by the phantom i.e Lijo

@@TriedRefusedProductions Dude im the only high one here or are we all high
True, I have heard different interpretations from different people and I'm still confused. I am not satisfied with any of the explanations. It's truly is making us go crazy.
My friend mentioned the exact same thing to me, how I am now trapped in the loop that is Churuli. I was going crazy trying to find every hidden detail in the dialogs and other on screen details and believe me, you won't notice them if you aren't looking for them.
i always love the way how each of the actor playing each of the character contributes to the storyline in Malayalam cinema. Never feels like that they have just been placed, just for the sake of someone being there. Even if they do not have a single dialogue to say. Thats the sheer brilliance and dedication of everyone who are associated to the industry. They have the brilliance in writing their screenplay which never allow me to skip the movie for even a second. Always on my toes of reading the subtitles and thinking what will happen next. And the background score and the sound setup. Loved it man. Keep the viewers on their toes....!!!!
Ab tareefon ke kitne pul bandhe...!!!❤️😍
Thanks Jammy for your channel, where we can talk, discuss, write what we feel about there brilliant creators and their brilliant creations. ❤️
MY TAKE ON THIS MASTERPIECE!!!
Entire churuli is a portal, not real. Once entered it's a loop. There is no getting out but only resetting the roles. Everytime a loop is concluded the memory of entire Churuli natives are refreshed too. That is the reasons they having so many names. Madan is nothing but aliens. Madan is no a single entity but a group which facilitate Churuli program for unknown reasons.
Loops.
In the movie there is clear references of two previous loops through various seemingly unimportant conversations.
Loop 1 - Soubin, a police officer is brought to Churuli by a maadan called vasu. Soubin goes through same things chemban vinod does and his back is also displaced. The maadan who brought soubin takes him to pengal and fix his back, in the process she also installs maadan into soubin. While the maadan comes with soubin rapes the kid. Then they eventually finds the criminal which they were looking in the first place and goes off and enters portal. Here the vasu and the criminal switch role. And enters loop 2.
Loop 2 - now soubin brings George (vinay fort) looking for a criminal called vasu. Bec the role criminal is switched after the loop reset - maadan who was a police officer, vasu is criminal now. Then eventually vinay fort will break his back and soubin will take him to pengal, where they will fix the hip and soubin rapes the kid. And when the loop is reset, police officer Soubin switches the role to criminal. And vinay fort will have to bring another person to Churuli.
Loop 3 - entire Churuli movie. In the climax vinay fort and Soubin will change seats in jeep, indicating the role switch. Saajeevan will become criminal and joy will be freed from the loop.
Loop 4 - chemban will go out and bring someone new to find the criminal Saajeevan (vinay fort). And this entire thing will repeat. And loop will be resetted with switching chembans role to criminal, freeing vinay fort.
Clues:
Major:
Saajeevan is called George by the arrack shop owner and he attends to call. This is an anomaly in resetting memory.
.
Some memories doesn't get reset. This is indicated by few incidents like ammachi is trying to attcak him Saajeevan with an axe and people calling eachother diffrent names. Multiple times vinay fort is referenced to being a familiar face.
.
About previous loops the hints are there in the conversation between arrack shop owner and Saajeevan after collecting tapioca from fearsome oldmans house.
.
Blinking eyes, blinking eyes by the ammachi who tried to hack Saajeevan with axe is a clue to Saajeevan to use it. He tries it later and use the power to kill the guy who was rude to him.
.
The alien references can be found in hoardings and at the begining of the movie after they have breakfast and two people talking about alien abduction in America.
.
Vinay fort remembers pengals roof view when he is getting slapped in the competition. And pengal asked him if he was there before.
.
Another direct reference to loop is from pengal. She is seen calling the kid 'omanakuttaa' when they arrive. When they are leaving loop neeeds to be reset and it needs a new kid. And she's seen Calling "Manu" looking afar.
.
Pengal knows about the loop and she's probably in control. Bec she knows chemban is a police officer and other details. She also offers to predict "future" which chemban refuses.
Minor clues
After breakfast when Vinay fort is washing his hands he realises something, probably a dejavu or something.
.
Vinay fort turns and stares and the two people talking about aliens.
.
Vinay fort telling chemban that he is having difficulty in tracking days while they were taking water from the well.
.
When Vinay fort is walking alone in the forest the whole view is liquified or fluid. Indicating entire Churuli is a big artificial realm.
.
The entry to portal is probably when the jeep goes faster in the begining and jerk is felt.
.
Blinking eyes is a switch of control to maadan. Normally the peoples action is controlled by themselves but when madan takes over they act like robots with no pain and emotion.
.
In the end when the Churuli natives attacks chemban and Vinay everyone looks at chemban only, vinay is left out.
Brilliant analysis and decoding bro 🔥 🔥 🔥
copied analysis...
Watching " Churuli " was an experience by itself
The cinemotography ,the sounds,the characters in the movie,almost made me feel like i was in the midst of all the happenings in the movie.Kudos to Churuli team for a very immersive experince they provided
I thought the movie in a way depicts the world and the times we live in.where we all are sinners,also we are also at times at the receiving end .there uus thin line ,almost blurred ,differeintating the good and bad in all of us.We are caught in this timeless loop and the beginning is the end and end is the beginning
This type of movies deserve respect globally
To me the best part about the movie is, it takes you into the loop. That level of landscape coverage and bgm. I started feeling like am also part of that jungle and I have a feeling that I have spent long long hours there in the forest as Vinay said. Director has that magical touch to pull you in his world and keep you there.
Best work ever.
Three cheers to Malayali Movie n Industries 👌🙌✨❤👍...lots of love from Kolkata.

I still remember how i used to think Malayalam cinema would be exactly like Telegu cinema but man was i wrong. Although they are good but i think they still can't compete with the directorial magic of Sajid Khan.
😂😂😂😂
You guys can't give competition to Malayalam filims ... because this is our real track ...as a Malayalee I can easily tell you that ..none of new Malayalam filims are not even close to 70's or 80's Malayalam filims. And you are talking about Sajid Khan 😂 . I wish old Malayalam filims dubbed to other languages

This is how you narrate without exposing the full story and leaving the viewers satisfied after the video ends!
Great work Anmol!
Im really happy that these films which would have been earlier classified as indie films or "award films" have found their way into the commercial space with higher viewership.
They are making commercial films with more quality.
I was eagerly waiting your review.
Yesterday I tried watching this movie but was confused at various aspects. Now watching your video for making it clear and easily understandable
Ok I am still watching this video but this film sound awesome....I never expected something like this in indian cinema
If someone says he/she understood this movie watching it only once, it's a lie.
I need to watch it with my friends so that we can make our own theory and talk about it later 😂😂
The increasing number of theories and explanations about this place day by day reflects the brilliance of LJP ( mallu version of Nolan 😄)
Some explained this place as purgatory , area 51, now this , jammys time loop explanation 👍
It's not purgatory..but I felt..it's just supernatural
.
LJP is not the 'mallu' version of Nolan. They are both very different types of directors with different vision for their movies. So that is very inaccurate comparison.
LJP & David lynch have a great resemblance in their filmography
Although I get your intention, I'd rather not call Lijo as a "mallu version" of anybody else. He is a brilliant director in his own right.
Jab tumbaad ke Sath insaaf nahi hua to churli . But as a cinema lover churuli is one of the amazing cinemetic experience with out of box story . These kind of cinema tells us we don't need the remake of 25 years of old movies ..
Spectacular visuals with BGM man ..... I'm now in love with Kerala forests and i think its because of that man LJP....!
This is was Ineffable...All scenes need a hidden detailing
Such a different concept and sir realistic climax🌟
I'm from Kerala and I found this movie as pretty mind blowing. Many people in kerala are pointing out the excessive usage of abusive words in the movie but I don't care and I think that the excessive use of those words also signifies something in the movie which many don't understand
Cause Malayalis normally watch films with their families....In the north it is normal to use abusive language but here it is not common...That's why I also didn't watch it
@@shaunserahbinu372 njanum malayali aanu pinne njanum familiyude oppamanu kandathu
I am from north India and i watched the movie in dubbed (Hindi) i didn't find much swearing in the movie.
The movie is an adaptation of a book called " kaligaminarile kuttavalikagl"( criminals of kaligaminar). And the book is based on real life events of a police officer. The scifi elements are just added by the script writer.
Nothing else in this movie.... More exajurations are going on
For peoples who didn't understand anything after watching Churuli... This film will be a "Exaggerated piece"
Re-watch .. you will understand.
@@nvkgovind9665 some people see things in the movie and some don't.... gladly I am part of the former group. That's all...an art form need not be enjoyed by everyone.
The Short Story by Vinoy Thomas
KaligeMinnarile Kuttavalikal(the criminals of Kaligaaminar) is based on a true incident of a police officer called Jose Joseph& his subordinate on Wayanad/Kerala!! Lijo added a bit of Maadan stuff which is a part of Malayali Folklore +SciFi= Churuli (never ending Spiral)
For me its one of the best Malayalam movies of 2021 that I watched !!
the screenplay, dialogues,bgm,especially the combination scenes of Chemban &Jaffer Idukki, i laughed a lot !!!they really have a great chemistry, I think most people believes Shajeevan as maadan but not me :)) there are some minor detailing in the movie which I think maadan is actually Chemban !
the only negative that i found in this movie was with Vinay Forrt aka Shajeevan i think he is still stuck on his Kochi accent,:))
Jaffer idukki, what an actor, started as mimicry artist, to comedy roles in tv seriels then to totally crap movie roles and now he's doing mind blowing roles in good movies
The best seen in this movie that Shot in his ear
In climax that was cool💥💥💥😁👍
Jammy make a breakdown video of churuli explaining the movie it's too complex for us mere mortals to understand
I must say, *Jammy,* the theory you formed on the possible loops was really out of the world, providing a glimpse of what could possibly have transpired. *Churuli* indeed was a surreal experience for me. *Lijo Jose Pellissary,* as always, had knocked it out of the park.
On my Second watch.. If you watch this movie with good earphones on and listen carefully, you can hear radio chatter in the background several times in the movie 🌀 at a time it’s the song you hear in radio chatter which Shajivan hears for real after few seconds . Possibly this radio chatter is from the aliens who are controlling and overseeing the whole time loop of Churuli
One of the best cinematic experience I had in a long time. Absolutely stunning. Every aspect of it. Theatre viewing would have been much better.
I heard more than 10 perspectives of this story from different viewers and I do have my perspective. But finally I came to a conclusion that LJP doesn’t want to spoon feed the story to people rather he need different perspectives.
Thirumeni eppozhum perspective thappi nadkukayan. Thirumenikk ariyillalo phonill irikyunath Madan annen. (Churulii)💥💥
I was lucky enough to see this movie for iffk. And let me tell you the ott version misses out on one awesome scene. A sci-fi scene of Vinay Fort wearing that alien costume and entering a room filled with cogs and gear wheels, like the insides of a clock or time machine. We also see Jaffer Idukki's character there holding a timepiece like a timekeeper. The production design of that scene is just epic. The climax although similar was in my opinion better put together in the iffk version. I wish that version was released on OTT. The iffk version also had another aspect in that some of the characters talked in a peculiar ways. As if their dialogues were reversed in time. There was also a note at the beginning of the movie which mentioned a special language ChurulMozhi or Churulalam which is used by the inhabitants of Churuli. I hope they release an extended cut or deleted scenes seperately.
Then,At the end of climax the person walking through was vinay fort's character, it will be great if we can see other version....
Can't thank Jallikattu enough for introducing me to the gem of a director Lijo is. 💕😍

Hope u watched Ee ma you

I watched it 2 times. Gave me goosebumps literally. Ljp is taking our industry to world cinema. I am a movie lover and watch almost all type of films. I have seen many films with complex narration in the Hollywood. And never seen one from our country till I saw churuli. The detailing is so packed which makes it engaging even on my second watch. Loved the time loop concept. I think it's like a spiral more than a loop.
Waiting for nanpakal nerathu mayakkam😊
how did you come out of it the first time?
The world we live in itself is Churruli
By Churuli Malayalam cinema has reached 100 years ahead of Bollywood 🔥💀
Still i m not out of the 'churuli the spiral". So many interpretations and i m lost among all those..i believe this is the best malayalam movie i ve ever watched (followed by manichithra thaazhu)..it was a ride with them in churuli. Mesmerized by the effects of the forest. Excellent sound recording, camera and other performances..
Lijo might be smiling now seeing serious film watchers are falling into the spiral...
I m lost..
Kerala movie industry is little South Korean film of India.
Malayalam film never fails to impress us. Most of the film sticks to originality either it is music, content, location or acting.
Only if this was released in Netflix or prime for a wider audience
I think sony liv is selecting more quality malayalam films than other platforms now. Last 3 releases from them were wonderful
@@bloomybluey but the picture quality on Sony Liv was disappointing! Such a great cinematography ruined by barely 720p quality. Pathetic
Wow being a mallu, I didn’t find these details. The way you explained now make sense about the story. Need to watch it again to really connect with the movie.
Now that I understand it after your explaining, I need to rewatch this masterpiece.
I don't know how many of you had noticed that the other passengers actually came to the jeep from somewhere around there just like waiting for Shajeevan and Antony to arrive. The jeep driver's conversation with Jaffer Idukki is possibly a hint to the trap that 'Churuli' later revealed.
Exactly. Also the world of churuli is very small. And no shop other than the arrack shop. No agriculture; just references.
Like you said, the characters simply appear after the horn is pressed. Especially the driver. The loop begins there, in my opinion.
It's like a sample fictional virtual world. Like a video game or dream.
It's one of the best movie ever made in kerala
*in india
Another frog from the same well😝
Lmao that's just insult to whole Malayalam industry
@@aditya44g says who?
@@aditya44g shush
Thank you for bringing this out and giving review on this it is the most underrated one and deserves global recognition keep going your steps like this will lead to big place and help people to know we have so much to serve .🥺🙌🙌💯 must watch .
Churali was definitely a prespective movie and I appreciate the effort taken by whole team for that film
People always acknowledge the brilliance of Nolan in India, but very few accept the pure class of this master craftsman tht Lijo is in our country... World class content and execution.. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yeah both of them suck, Satyajit ray and Ritwik Ghatak were the first and last auteurs of india. Kashyap is good too.
@@atulyabharadwaj2279 bollywood production house ko art se mtlb nhi h unko sirf pesa kamna h 😑 star par pese laga denge lekin kabhi achi script par pesa nhi lagayenge mc producer
Was eagerly waiting for your take on Churuli, Jammy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A special shout out to the Arts department in the movie, who set up the mesmerizing toddy shop, 'pengal thanga's' house that resembles a UFO I doubt, the bridge and many more.
What really invested me into the movie is the technical brilliance portrayed by LJP and his team. The swear words only sounded natural and fits to the environment, and was never force fed.
The fun fact is, as someone who watched the movie, I feels still stuck in that Labrinth and when hearing about theories such as the 'Churuli Verse' , it makes total sense 🙏
Are you art director Joseph Nellickal ? Or his relative ? 🤔
@@KING-ri2vs no way connected to art director Joseph Nellickal bro 😀
@@josunellickal Ok. Your name and comment specifying art direction made me think either you are him or his son maybe. 😅
@@KING-ri2vs 😂👍🏼..just felt the art department needs to be praised for their phenomenal work in Churuli..I heard LJP also talking high about them in one of his earlier interviews.
@@josunellickal Cool 😁👍🏼
The detailed description is awesome ❤️❤️❤️...loved it
More intresting fact that this filim shoot in just 19 days
Jammy Brother!! Try to watch "Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana" kannada movie and review .. Thru you many will come to know the masterpiece film
He is releasing that video tmmrw
tomorrow
Absolutely loved the movie ..
Absolute delightful movie experience i had in recent times.
The movie is too good in every aspect.
Its visuals, screenplay, acting, bgm, & with its metaphors and analogy
I am not a malayali but I am in love with Malayalam movies... To Understand this movie you should first try and understand the Director.. I recommend you guys to first watch his earlier movies and then watch Churuli...
Was about to recommend this movie to you since the day I watched. Glad that you watched and created this video so quickly. I am still not out of that whirlpool lijo created even after 3 days. First of a kind experience 😵😵
LJP is a legend. Its a very complex, multi layered story with an outstanding climax❤
The movie is about the bridge between the "civilized" world and the "uncivilized" world. People who faked smile before the bridge starts swearing on the other side. The hierarchy we maintain in the civilized world is threatened on the other side of the bridge (eg: the superior police officer feels insecure and ask the subordinate to salute him when no one is around, the female character as strong as men, etc). People starts to behave well when the bar becomes church in the presence of a priest. This shows that religion bring law and order in an uncivilized world. When it is a bar, people become happy getting intoxicated by alcohol, When the same spot becomes church once in a while, alcohol is replaced by another drug (faith). By the time the policemen finds Joy (happiness), they had already committed all the things which is considered as a crime beyond the bridge and another loop begins. In the real world everyone is a police, We try to make sure that everyone follows a certain set of rules. This is the backbone of a modern society. The idea is that modern civilization puts a filter on raw human behavior.
My theory of the time loop is pretty much the same as what Jammy mentioned but still have other theories floating in my head as well. I have to watch again.
Jaldi se jaldi isko south industry se jod deta fir bollywood ko gali bhi to deni h na
Thanks for your review. Will watch it soon.
Your channel is like encyclopaedia for good movies.
Many Malayalam movies are actually NEXT LEVEL..!! thanks to OTT for a much global audience..!
Jammy how do you feel the depth and punch of the dialogue of non Hindi movies, because your review tells the other story i.e. you got every aspect of the movie🙂🙂
Fun Fact(not that much) : This OTT version of the film is different from the IFFK (international film festival of kerala) premiere version..There are many deleted scenes in this version..i was told there was a visually amazing scene where Vinay Fort itself with the alien costume and a more extended version of the Mechanical geared hall loop thingy space was there in thr Iffk version..Hope they will release a directors cut of this film soon
I was wondering why Jammy was taking so long to come up with a review of Churuli.
it deserved a revisit to do justice to the film
I started it, saw your insta story, then stopped for your review!
Such trust we all have on you, also never been so early on your channel! 😂🥰
Everyone at the toddy shop respects the old guy ( may be they are aware that he controls the loop ) after Vinay discovers the old mans house his character changes like soubin.
very well explained the loop and even malayalam ppl also not aware about it
This film was shot in 19 days
Another masterpiece with absolutely no nonsense that can keep the audience on their toes is Ayyappanum Koshium. I am not from Kerala but I love their movies and how they dont divulge from making movies that can give you a real time experience. It is now being remade in Telugu starring some major actors, however, I hope they dont ruin the crux of the original.
*Well the Description Itself States*
*This Insane & Complex*
*But Actual It's a Tight Slap on So Called Bollywood's SEQUAL , REMAKES & Most Love ka the END*
I love the brilliant motif of Spiral and how it somehow showcases a different dimension where you can't escape, your mazelike goal will let you inside and inside only.
Bravo Jammy, the layers are so complex even for a malayalam audience . You cracked it brilliant . For the people who read the short story this is an entirely new version ( I would say extreme ) . The level of depth lijo gave us through the movie is just his brilliance . He is someone who invested in his characters more and more, making is so simple but complex . Amazing review 👍😅
