Casanovva - Review

I watched the 'Highest Budget Malayalam Film Ever Made' 'Casanovva' with huge expectation, but the film is a just an average and a One-time watch, directed by Roshan Andrrews and scripted by Bobby-Sanjay. Casanovva made a Grand release on 26 Jan.2012 and was exhibited in 200 theatres. The movie has Mohanlal in the title role along with Shriya saran, Lakshmi rai, Roma, Jagathy Sreekumar, Lalu alex, and Riyaz khan in the lead performance.

Story

Casanovva, is a playboy and owner of the Casanovva's Eternal spring, a international establishment of flower boutiques. Four young criminals try to use him indirectly for a robbery but Casanovva knowing it all, plays along to trap  two out of four through a channel programme named 'Fall in Love'.One of the four young criminals is involved with Casanovva's personal life. Finally, he traces him out overcoming many difficulties. This is the main thread of the film.

'Casanovva' delineates an unfamiliar story in a luxurious background but the movie lacks energy. Most of the sequences could have been made better and hence falls short of expectation.

Mohanlal plays the title role Casanovva, he is the only positive attraction of this film, and he has steals the show with his gorgeous and incredible performance. Shriya saran, Lakshmi Rai and Roma has showcased an average performance. Supporting roles done by Jagathy Sreekumar, Riyaz khan, Lalu alex adds no flavor and requires no major mention. Except Mohanlal, other characters add no strength or value to the movie. 

The movie is a superfluous attempt by director Roshan Andrrews, sequences are Humdrum and questions his directorial efficiency. Thrills, which was the highlight too falls weak for any adulation. The script is done by Bobby-Sanjay after their Hit work 'Traffic'. Story and screenplay of 'Casanovva' is not appreciable but some dialogues are nice. In the technical side Cinematography and Backgroud score are positive factors done by Jim ganesh and Gopi sundar respectively. Jim ganesh has taken a lot of tawdry and dazzling shots which adds style to this film; Gopi sundar's BG Score is very apt.

Overall 'Casanovva' is a One man show.Don't expect more.

Grade: 'Casanovva' is an etiolated film with flamboyant making.

Rate: 2.5/5
