After months and months anticipation The Master of Chaos Lijo Jose Pellissery's Churuli is now available to watch. The film is one kind of a gem which is a great contribution to the entire world cinema! A slow-paced thriller which grips the viewer with its haunting background score and visuals which are photographed in a miraculous manner which gives a horror-fantasy mood to the film and elevates the on-screen anticipation of the viewer. The film successfully travels through various aesthetics caused by the smooth and steady shift from realism to magical realism and from there to surrealism. The director and the team accomplished in creating a well-toned and structured choreography which has no visible flaws. And what stands out the most is the highly appreciable sound work. Which gives the viewer a vibe like he is in a wild forest which is soaked in horror and mystery.
The story of the film starts as a simple one but becomes more and more complex as the movie progresses. Anthony and Shajeevan two police officers sets out to catch a criminal who is hiding in a forest. As they reach the forest Shajeevan realize that something is deeply wrong with that place, from the people to the entire forest is at the greater depths of some weirdness. The climax is surreal, and have never seen before in any indian film. A magic which is one of a kind!
Lijo Jose Pellissery is a truly a genius filmmaker, who I hope will bring revolutionary changes in Malayalam cinema. And he is proving that since 2013 with his film Amen.
