Finally, the highly anticipated Malayalam feature film, ‘Churuli‘ is releasing. It has been a long wait, but the filmmakers have finally agreed on a mode of release and it is not the one that would normally be taken. So before the movie drops for viewing, here is everything you need to know about the film:
Sci-fi Thriller
The film follows two undercover cops who are searching for a wanted criminal. However, they seemingly get stuck in a time loop, when they enter the village of Churuli.
This film concept is quite common in Hollywood films and TV series, but it is fairly new in the Malayalam film industry. Sci-fi thrillers are rare in South Indian films and are rated pretty highly, so we expect this movie to be good as well. Or at least, good enough for a one-time watch at least.
Theatre To OTT
‘Churuli’ was supposed to premiere in theatres back in February, almost 9 months ago. But due to some delays and issues with the theatre associations, the filmmakers were forced to hold onto their movie. Now, in November, even after Kerala theatres have reopened, the minds behind ‘Churuli’ are more than happy to release the film directly for streaming.
Multistar Cast
For a film of this size, it is surprising to have a decently well-known cast that will portray the core group of characters. The actors involved in this film are Chemban Vinod Jose, Vinay Forrt, Joju George, Soubin Shahir and Jaffar Idukki.
‘Churuli’ will premiere on SonyLIV on 19th November 2021. Check out the film trailer below:
