Meri Awas Suno

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.

I've literally cried in more than 3 scenes.

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

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

We were eager to experience the Malayali touch after enjoying the original Bengali version Konttho. It was unfortunate to see that the movie didn't bring something new

DELICIOUS

-Meri Awas Suno sent out a huge warning on the extreme consequences of smoking and in Shankar's case, the throat cancer threatened his flourishing career.

-The make-up team accomplished a wonderful job on Shankar (pre and post-surgery)

-Performance was simply sublime across actors, no comments🙌

-It was so important to see Shankar's progressive journey after surgery: how he was affected mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and relationally.

The director took his time to display the various people who helped motivate him

BLAND

-Editing and cinematography were regrettably not smooth. Some of the drone footage were not controlled and scene cuts were very sharp at times

-Though Shankar was given plenty of lessons and signs about the care he had to render to his family, we never saw him implementing them at all😬

-The film didn't have its unique Malayali flavor except for tiny changes, making us wonder about the need for a remake.

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.

"Meri Awas Suno" starring Jaysuriya, Manju Warrier & Shivda in lead roles...

Directed by G. Prajesh Sen

Verdict of the Movie: Above Average, 3/5 ⭐

A one Time Watchable Movie...

Plot of the Movie:

RJ Sankar played by Jaysuriya is the medicine for many people pains... Companion for the ones who feel lonely...A person next to door feeling... He is of a person who believes that his voice is his identity...But destiny makes a twist wherein he looses that identify and how RJ Sankar tries overcomes it forms the rest part of the story....

Observations & Understanding from the Movie...

1) Movie tells that when hardships come to our life, face with confidence and win it....

2) Don't ever feel we are lonely, there will always be someone who wants to listen our voice, need our presence...

3) Importance of Wife in a family life is shown beautifully portrayed...

Talking about the performance....

1) Jaysuriya had explicitly performed...As an artist how to explore, he just proves it in his movies...

2) Shivda playing as RJ Sankar wife was pretty good...

3) Manju Warrier screen presence with Jaysuriya was pleasant to watch but nothing much great kind of performance was experienced from her...

4) Songs were ok average....

5) As the subject was related to a person overcoming his personal difficulty, screenplay was designed in such a way that it makes a movie one time watchable but it was better as compared to their previous movie Vellam ( Water)

Overall a one-time watchable.
