Thiruchitrambalam

It has only been a couple of months since I first chanced upon the trending dance reel based on the “Megham Karukatha” song from the “Thiruchitrambalam” movie. Dance moves from movies going viral through short-form video platforms are not something new, but there was something about this song that set it apart. The catchy beat, the blueish midnight setting, the black and white dressing, and the chemistry of the actors all screamed of simplicity, a glaring lack of sophistication. I suppose that is what made the song work, and probably the movie too.

There isn’t much happening here, yet it is very satisfying. Calling the movie “cute” might seem like a cliche, but there’s no better way to describe it. It’s pretty much what you hope for on a lazy Sunday afternoon. A cute movie to awaken your innter romantic.
