Let's decode this "Mind Fuc**d Malayalam Movie"..
Fist thing things first..!
Fist thing things first..!
What is Churuli ..?
The Malayalam meaning of Churuli is "Spiral". In this film Churuli is a village name.
I think everybody aware about spiral it's an infinitum. Spiral is a metaphor in this film.
About the director :-
Churuli director "Lijo jose pellissery" designed like a spiral with mysterious and sci-fi elements. "LJP" is a masterclass director by his previous films "Angamalai dairies", "Ee.Ma.Yau", "Jallikattu" and his non-linear film "City of god". Every film is a masterpiece by it's story, direction and its hidden meaning subtexts. We can't digest the film after we watched, Satire is indeed in his films. Every film is an art, we have not contempt it. Such a great director and his latest film is Churuli.
The back story myth of Churuli village :-
It's all begin with a clever MacGuffin_ the foreboding narration of the tale of a Namboothiri who goes in search of perumadan (an evil spirit ) who misleads people. Unknown the Namboothiri, perumadan changes shape like an Anteater, misleading him in every step. The Namboothiri still wandering in circles of the forest, to this day, goes the folklore.
Story of the film Churuli :-
The tale may be herald of things to come. But we are not sure 'cause it all fairly common site in the beginning. Two cops go undercover to a forest to arrest a man called Mayiladumparambil joy, going by the names Shajeevan and Antony, possibly terrain that is enticing and hostile in equal measures. The movie behave like an investigation thriller as we follow it we notice some strange things which we not understand what's going in there with mysterious thriller. But what we follows is hardly a hunt for an exclusive criminal, but a decent into madness, absurdity, folk horror and extremely masculinity. It is set in a most absurd and bizarre place of mostly men who are terrifically unpredictable, conversing in an expletive-laden lingo that is bound to shock most movie moves.
The folklore in the beginning is not the only bit of metaphor that director places. There is a processing mention of alien abduction, and images of a spiral all continuously appearing at certain places.
As film goes on, the behavior of two cops change. They realize that this mysterious land is somehow familiar to them. And they have in them what takes to be one among the people here. In the end, after several encounters with what possibly are alien creatures, shape shifting trees, apparitions, a holy communion, an axe holding old women and a curer, they catch their culprit, only to have a Repo-Man transportation to an unknown future. The loop might be repeated again. "LJP" leaves it up to you to fuc**d.
This is an open-ending, Are there any answers to all our questions..?
No, that is not how a ludicrous fiction works. The title is which can be translated to Spiral, and the Spiral on the title glimpse had given enough indications that all answers would be not coming. The director LJP and writer S. Hareesh don't leave you with a unpredictable open-ending.
Here Lijo jose pellissery left this absurd movie to audience interpretation and made everyone's brain fuc**d..
In this film they shown lot of loops and aliens randomly, and you can see spiral loops. This film is a loop that continuously repeating its way. According to me this absurd bizarre stinky mind-blowing movie continuously repeating its own route like the Brahmin on his way in the forest route of spiral loop to reach the aliens.
