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.
