Konttho (the original Bengali screenplay) was a blast so when Meri Awas Suno came out, we were eager to experience the Malayali touch. It was unfortunate to see that the movie didn’t bring something new
~Worth Watching~

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 irony was that despite Shankar’s predicament, his colleagues didn’t take heed; their smoking spot even had written on the wall “Nonsmokers die every day” 🤦🏾‍♂️
—The make-up team accomplished a wonderful job on Shankar (pre and post-surgery) and Meryl (Shankar’s wife)
—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 Shankar (Jayasurya) to heal. Meri Awas Suno also zoomed in on Meryl (Sshivada) so we could observe her silent pain.
WIFE apparently is an acronym that stands for “Wonderful Institution For Ever” 😁
The film pointed out the intense need to adjust gradually when tragedy hits rather than resisting change and fighting the people around us

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
—By and large, Meri Awas Suno didn’t have its unique Malayali flavor except for tiny changes, making us wonder about the need for a remake
