Casanovva (2012)
4/10
Disappointing

Warning: Spoilers
Casanovva prior to its release was given a lot of hype but unfortunately it does not live up to all the pre-release hype.

I feel Mohanlal in the role of the playboy millionaire was a miscast; he is too old for that type of a role. Despite this obvious factor he is the one who carries the movie ahead. He especially played the grieving lover part in the second half, to perfection. Sreya Saran looks gorgeous as the love interest of Lal and their chemistry is credible despite the vast age difference between the actors.

Another matter to be stressed is the main negative lead by newcomer Vikramjeet Virk who plays the role of gangster leader named ''Alexi'', with cool confidence and panache. He is perfect in what was given to him and, performance wise, is able to match the veteran actor, Mohanlal. His action scenes are sleek and believable and according to the makers, Vikramjeet did all the stunts by himself; he is a promising talent as well.

The foreign locales r beautiful, songs r average and the cinematography is awesome. The makers could have avoided those scenes between Lal and those ladies and i honestly cringed at those scenes. The actor himself looked a bit uncomfortable in it. Die hard Lal fans will enjoy the move. Overall, for me, this movie was a huge disappointment.
