Thrill in Malayalam

For a thrill Malayalam uses രോമാഞ്ചം (romaancham), literally the rising of the body hair, the goose pimple moment of excitement. It is the word in film reviews and in ordinary talk about a song or a last over that gave you a rush. ഉല്‍പുളകം (ulpulakam) says the same thing in a more bookish voice.
