Casanovva (2012)
3/10
Puts style over substance
27 January 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Coming from director Rosshan Andrrews, script writers Bobby & Sanjay, starring Mohanlal and touted as the most expensive malayalam film ever made "casanova" has been the most awaited malayalam movie for a long time. The movie is one of the most stylishly made malayalam films and is a visual treat with exotic locales and some well choreographed action scenes but the movie fails big time when it comes to the script. Bobby & Sanjay coming after the mega hit "Traffic" does'nt seem to have put all their effort into this film as the script is patched up and highly inspired from the tamil movie "Engeyum Kadhal" in the second half. It is very clear that the makers have decided to put style over substance but the little substance that film has is also not good. Mohanlal does justice to his role as the stylish womanizer Casanovva but does'nt have much to do on the acting front. All in all casanovva is not for those who consider the script the most important part of the movie but it's worth a one time watch for mohanlal fans for its sheer style...
