Writer and Director Vishnu raghav has taken the premise of an nri malayali man building his dream home and the issues he faces along the way in this and his personal life and woven a romance Around this. The Director has added numerous elements common in God’s Own Country. For institution, the building of a house and dealing with construction workers and the registration office is a highly related Scenario for Most NRI Malayali People.
While Vinod is struggling with this on one hand, pappettan is struggling to find a suitable bride because he is a ‘boomer’ who has’ who has tradedl notion about how a woman shields are shields. Rejected Most often. However, stereotypes are still part of the series where women are concerned and that disappointing given that gouri is projectioned as a modern girl WHO WANTS HER OWAY SPACE AWAY from Her Constyles. The tumulture Relationship between Vinod and Gouri also shows the challenges that couples of today face, especially when it come to comes to family and moving abroad in the houses of a better. The strained relationship between gouri’s dad and vinod’s dad also shows how the male ego and patriarchy come into play in situations of love and marriage. However, one wishes the director has written in some new elements for the audience where Vinod and Pappetan’s love relationships was wirened to make the series fresh. The great Indian kitchen, for instance, provided a deep insight into the psyche of males in social and love under construction would have been shades of what to do, that to give the title more meaning.
As far as performances go, Neeraj Madhav, Aju Varghese and Gouri kishan are effortless in their portrayals as vinod, Pappettan and Gouri Respectively. Neeraj Madhav and Aju Varghese are seasoned actors who have an impressive career graph and their interactions are very engaging in this series. The support characters Anand Mamadhan, Thankam Mohan and Ann Jamela Saleem, also make a mark. Music Director Gopi Sundar has scored the songs and bgm and it’s par for the course. On the whole, Vishnu raghav’s love under construction is an easy watch but not the outstanding series that it could have been.
