Make a green film; That is what Lijo Jose Pellissery has done with the film Churuli. ‘Churuli’ will captivate the audience a little bit, beautifully breaking down cinema’s usual sights and sounds, the protagonist of the story heard at the beginning of the film and in the trailer as if the saint who comes to catch it is walking in the forest.
The plot environment of the scroll, the characters, and the audience’s mind will be confused. If you ask me how many stories I have seen and how many times I have seen it, I will finally have to go back to the level of Perumadan! That’s where the beauty and mystery of the movie come in!
No view on the scroll is uniform. The imaginary village of Churuli and its strange villagers are curled up into infinity like a scroll with ninety thousand flakes. In Mayiladuthurai, two policemen arrive at the Secret dress code searching for a criminal named Joy – Antony, played by Chemban Vinod, and Shajeevan, played by Vinay Fort.
The film tells the story of a group of people they meet when they reach Churuli and their strange experiences. As it passes through the craft of director Lijo Pellissery, the village, its people, their behavior, and the events, they are taken to new heights. A Lijo Jose Pellissery portrays Churuli as a sight, not a story.
The forest is the backdrop to the scroll. The forest is not just a witness to what is happening there. The jungle is so curled up throughout the film, blindfolded and blindfolded and frightened. Madhu Neelakanthan’s camera captures the life and movement of the forest in the same way.
The wildness and beauty of the wide frames will captivate the audience with their views of the scroll. The background music of the movie will stand with it! It is more appropriate to say ‘the sound of the scroll’ than ‘music’.
We hear not just sounds in the woods but through the scroll. They are the sounds that captivate the audience to the scenes of the movie Churuli. The background music is composed by Srirag Saji, the sound design is by Ranganath Ravi, and the mix is by Fazal A. Baker.
Churuli’s screenplay is based on a short story by Vinoy Thomas, a well-known short story writer, and novelist. The ‘feel’ of the scroll is complete only when it says ‘written in green’. When they start watching the movie, audiences will realize that Teri was not even a sample shot heard in the trailer.
There is no ‘annoyance’ of the beep sound in the OT (they prefer to watch it with the family or not). Jafar Idukki scored in it. Jafar Idukki’s vision as Kariyachan, a toddy shop owner, was an outstanding performance.
Jafar Idukki’s Kariyachan play will start with realistic acting and will amaze the audience. Such is the growth and secrecy of Vinay Fort’s Shah life. Vinay Fort’s character transformation is subtle.
Chemban Vinod played the role of Antony in his usual style. Geetha Sangeetha is another star who has impressed on the scroll. From the beginning of the film, the audience is drawn to this story by the sound of the music.
Antony, who will shoot the pig at night, cuts the middle and comes to them for treatment. Geetha Sangeetha’s character is a wild and powerful presence; Lukman, Surjit, Sandhya Biju, Anilamma, and Bhadra are also doing well on the roll.
Jojo and Saub’s entry is one of these countless characters. What makes Churuli an entertaining experience until the very end is the performance of these actors and the director’s craft behind it.
Editor Deepu Joseph has put them together so naturally that it is impossible to identify where the film is headed, from natural scenes to introspective thoughts. Animation director Balaram J. and art director Gokuldas graced the scrolls.
Although the painting, graphics, and original footage are interchangeable, it’s a cinematic experience that the director ultimately speaks to each audience. That conversation is utterly personal. The characters in the scroll show that in an environment where there is no one to ask or tell, no one will hesitate to take off the shirt of the culture they are wearing.
The film unravels that ‘wildness’ that shows no hesitation in killing and beating. It only takes a few hours for Kariyachan’s turn into a toddy shop where the shots are fired and the complex where the hymns are sung. The film, produced by Lijo Jose Pellissery and Chemban Vinod, may seem like a mystery.
The scroll will have to be repeated with the uneasiness of finding a forgotten answer to a riddle that has been told in the past. Because the man on the scroll is not the one who climbs into the basket so quickly, he is the one who blindfolds himself in the dark and wanders in many directions!
