In the 2009 movie Ivar Vivahitharayal starring Jayasurya and Bhama, there is this song that plays after the opening credits ( after the navya nair cameo when Jayasurya character wakes up from his sleep ). I tried shazaming it and i found the instrumental part is a portion taken from a song called My Head Feels Like A Frisbee by Shpongle released in 2001. But in the movie it feels like a remixed version of it with some rap vocals. I remember watching this movie as a child and this bgm was very catchy, now that i think back a lot of movies that came out at that era had similar mixes from western music without giving credits to the original song. I want to know if this remix is an actual song or just something the music director did in this movie. Anybody have more info on this? I would love to compile such uncredited songs into a playlist, havent seen any discussions on this.

Bruh🤣🤣🤣Aashiq Abu adds fuel to the fire. I think genuine film makers should come out in support of Kok and other genuine film reviewers. High chance Madhav Suresh or any sanghis lashing out at Aashiq Abu and calling him names soon

So I watched Churuli yesterday and I am still in the hangover of that movie, listening to its soundtrack on loop. I have watched many, many Hollywood movies, but this one felt more special than most of those, though maybe that could be recency bias but still. I won't talk about the possible theories of this movie, as there are many and I want to keep it that way in my head, like a puzzle.

But apart from that, the whole setup of that village and that shop... I'd love to experience living like that in the middle of a jungle with similar kinds of people. And the way this movie ended? Damn, that car scene.

And the symbolism in it, like those subtle hints throughout the movie that connected to the story told in the beginning but still we ignored... I am kind of relating that to my own life, like there were many obvious hints in my life too, but I still fell into the trap of my own mind.

Before watching this movie, I watched Sambhavam Adhyayam Onnu. After that, I searched for similar movies and came across this masterpiece, Churuli. Then another similar movie search led me to Maanaadu, which was also a really entertaining movie.

Btw, I had to watch Churuli in Hindi as I don't know Malayalam language and I am kind of jealous of you guys because you get to watch it in the original language with all the raw emotions intact. Hindi dubbing was shitty and quality I was able to find was not so good, which was another struggle.

Regardless, watching this movie felt like a trance level experience for me. Can you guys suggest something similar?

The core plot being the superstar young actor who turned out to be egoistical and bland who gets worse per with every new movie hiring an acting coach and the dynamics between the coach , his manager , driver and other Colleagues was refreshing and a arguably a new plot.

There was so much scope for comedy , drama and aura farming moments but the screenplay was basically non existent with random scenes stitched together with the said plot masked with glitz glamour and colours which again was not appealing.

The most wasted is the sheer acting potential this movie had for Tovino or anyone up for a challenge because an actor playing an actor who is a bad actor struggling to perform to be a good actor is a goldmine and it is one of the toughest act to ever do reference Leonardo in OUTIH as Rick Dalton or RDJr in Tropic thunder to some level. Lal Jr never bothered for any of such intricacies and delivered a plain ass movie and performances.

Don’t know if Tovi would be up for that hard challenge but surely didn’t matter coz the movie sucked big time , surely Lal Jr would have ruined Driving license too if not for Sachys script. This man shouldn’t be handed a big project like this.

It hurts more to see a wasted potential than a worst movie.

Movies that can be enjoyed without stressing a lot. Something that can unwind us from our hard days? My favourite is 100 days of love. What are yours?
