Director Prajesh Sen and Jaysurya have collaborated on movies equivalent to Captain and Vellam prior to now, which banked on power-packed performances. Meri Awas Suno follows an identical path the place the viewers perceive the place the film is heading as soon as the central battle is revealed. The solely saving grace is the protagonist’s efficiency.
The film follows the lifetime of RJ Shankar (performed by Jayasurya) who believes that his voice is his identification. He hosts the prime-time present in his radio station and has a formidable fan following for his philosophical perspective on life, which he shares together with his viewers. In the primary half of the film, we meet Shankar and his household, consisting of his spouse and a son. Everything is okay in Shankar’s life when he loses his voice unexpectedly attributable to his chain-smoking. The remainder of the movie reveals his psychological battle and his gritty battle to regain his voice. This is when Reshmi (performed by Manju Warrier), a speech therapist, enters his life. A carefree and energetic one who is all the time constructive about life, Reshmi helps Shanker to regain his voice.
However, the movie begins dragging within the second half of the film. Jayasurya’s highly effective efficiency as RJ Shankar — his frustrations, emotional battle, and battle to regain his voice — types the movie’s crux. The restricted scope of the plot is elevated by Jayasurya’s efficiency, however even that can’t justify the film’s size for such a lean story line.
Some of the scenes within the film felt much like these of Captain, the place Jayasurya’s character Sathyan is proven helpless but decided to get again to taking part in soccer. The solely distinction right here is Shankar right here is making an attempt laborious to regain his voice. The bulging of veins within the brow, the fear in his eyes — every little thing reminds you of Sathayn from Captain.
The dialogues of the movies, which ought to have been life-affirming and constructive, lack depth and perception. Whether it is RJ Shankar’s radio present at first of the film or Reshmi’s pep discuss within the later a part of the film, the dialogue by no means lifts off the bottom. The narrative is predictable and boring.
Manju Warrier once more performs a bubbly, constructive character, which is hardly a problem to an actor of her caliber. M Jayachandran’s melodies go properly with the temper of the film, however the movie itself feels stretched at two hours.
