Almost nine months back, a very different kind of Malayalam supernatural film made its way to theatres. The film didn’t do all that well in the cinema halls, but it did somehow manage to get a cult following. This movie was called ‘Churuli’ and it is currently heading towards an OTT platform for digital viewing (apparently). According to latest reports, the movie is likely making its way to SonyLIV and is currently looking at a December release. Check out the trailer for this upcoming movie at the end of this article.
‘Churuli’ was a film that was supposed to release in theatres back in April or May of 2020. The film completed its shooting in a record 19 days, months before the Coronavirus pandemic. Unfortunately for the filmmakers, Covid-19 came to India and then, the nationwide lockdown happened. Even after theatres reopened in Kerala, people were not ready to venture out into public places again, so the reception of this mind-bender flick suffered when it dropped in theatres. Along with the very contrasting reviews made by various film reviewers, many people decided to just not watch the film.
However, since the film is making a reappearance, this time on an OTT platform – this should be the perfect opportunity to judge this film. Is this movie actually a mind-bending thriller? Or is it nonsense trying to mean something? Or is it something in between? Well, all we have to do now is wait for an official streaming announcement for ‘Churuli’. And with how the film turned out in theatres, all those months ago – this announcement is likely to happen any day now.
