Meri Awas Suno

Meri awas suno is an over-dramatic movie that works in very few parts for me. Some drama would have looked better on paper, but the execution falls in same preachy, melodramatic area which is a hard watch. Prajesh Sen is kind of repeating himself with lesser effect each time and this time falling into a renjith sankar plus jis joyish zone. Even though jayasurya is in his typical character zone, it is his performance that carries the film and atleast help us to sit through the film. Shivada was also good but her character was also on and off, especially after considering the impressive wife characters in othrr prajesh movies. Manju warrier had the charm but nothing impressive to point out from her performance as the character doesn't offer much space.

I watched Meri Awas Suno on Disney+Hotstar in orig. Malayalam w/Eng. Subs., not really knowing what to expect.

Turned out to be a well made film, educating the viewer about the problems faced by those who lose their larynx.

Shankar (Jayasuriya) is a chain smoking popular radio jockey (RJ) running the prime Meri Awas Suno FM show. He is popular with his colleagues and empathetic to his callers, managing to prevent a young girl caller from jumping off a rooftop. At an awards show, he suddenly finds he has lost his voice. A medical check up leads to an emergency procedure and the removal of his larynx. Shankar's life as an RJ is virtually over and he is desolate, unable to come to terms with his situation. With the encouragement of his wife Meryl (Shivada), his doctor and his radio station boss Moorthy (Johny Antony), he starts personal speech rehabilitation with effervescent Dr Reshmi (Manju Warrier). Reshmi tells him upfront that he will not get his voice back but introduces him to others who are in a similar larynx-less situation who have learnt to use voice stimuli to gain some sort of speech function. With Reshmi's intensive training, encouragement and friendship, Shankar also gradually learns how to use these devices to the point that he can manage to accomplish an electronic sounding voice. In the process of his rehabilitation, Reshmi and Shankar become very close albeit in a platonic manner. However Meryl is very unhappy and suspicious. Once Shankar manages to master the stimulation device, Meryl asks Reshmi to step back and leave Shankar to her care only going forward. In the meantime, Moorthy has come up with a new kids radio show helmed by a robot voice ... ideal for Shankar. Shankar is not absolutely confident but the first program is a success and there is no looking back. Reshmi is shown on a flight to Kashmir where her husband is based.

The narration beautifully deals with the real problems faced by those who permanently lose their power of speech, relationships, misunderstandings etc. It is a human story and very watchable.

I've literally cried in more than 3 scenes.

Unforgettable movie...................................

The characterization was extremely done well and every character done their best.

Must watch movie with a fresh motivation story... Story of a RJ who live his voice and suddenly he loose it..through a motivational way this film shows how he stand up again in life and conquer his dream.

9/10 rating.

JayaSurya's yet another performance oriented character selection and he does justice to it. There are some good music blend with the movie and also the radio jockey plot is effective for the story. Shivada is apt for the role and done well

Manju warrior is over acting and appear quite artificial again. Main problem is that the movie is mostly predictable and slow. Nothing engaging for the most part.

Another movie that I had to skip fast forward to complete.
