In his fourth film, Eesho, already a subject of controversy because of the title which means ‘Jesus’ and an allegation of plagiarism, Nadhirshah goes back to the same theme and uses a similar song by a little girl right at the beginning.

So you embrace the first few minutes as the cinematographer of John Luther, Roby Varghese Raj, lets you have a nice panoramic view of Munnar and its hairpin roads, and the tour bus climbing hill after misty hill, until a predictable thud breaks the spell. The thud is followed by a piercing scream, blood on the window and a body on the deck.

ReviewThe film has an interesting premise, but the loud and at times problematic treatment significantly lessens its impact.CrisCourtesy - Facebook/ Prajesh Sen GOn the surface, Jayasurya looks unremarkable, wearing a trimmed beard with cropped hair and regular clothes, the way he appears in interviews. Once you go into the film though, he looks and sounds unfamiliar. There is none of the casual humour he is known for, only a few scattered laughs. In Meri Awas Suno, he is a serious man balancing work and life, believing his voice to be his identity with a job in the radio, a difficult man in the face of calamity, a very regular human being. The film – the latest by director Prajesh Sen – has a bundle of problems, but you can’t go into it without appreciating Jayasurya who has grown into an actor who can seamlessly turn into unexpected personas on screen.
