Atmospheric but confounding, and ultimately unsatisfying.

Washington City Paper

"...it almost imperceptibly shifts from somnambulant road movie to some indefinable science-fiction/metaphysical hybrid, and the final half hour is mesmerizing."

You can rely on Lijo Jose Pellissery delivering a film that is different and at least interesting, but unfortunately CHURULU just lost itself too much at some point.

Rated: 5/10

Film Companion

Usually films come full-circle. But here, it's like a hypnotist's wheel. From the centre-point of the inciting incident, the narrative (and your head) spins further and further away into an unending whirlpool.

If you are someone who likes to see a film as a work of art, more than as a compelling story, watch the movie for answers.

Rated: 3/5

Different atmosphere ... Both direction and acting are raw as it is the best thing about the movie, but at some point it failed to connect among audience. Director couldnt explain the vision he got inside his mind

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
