Mohanlal is back with once again a blunder. The script is so lame that you realize that there is NO "Casanova" factor in this movie. Lest any relationships, emotions or likewise.

This one hides under the masquerade of a thriller but proves to be too feeble. The characters are half-baked and not at all legit.

Waste of time, waste of money and waste of brilliant actors who forl the cast of this biggest blunder of 2011.

Avoid.

Language: Yes Sex: No Nudity: Somewhat Mouth-Kiss: No Violence: Somewhat

There should be a reason why a film is made. The Director himself agreed that was a bad creation. 1/10 for the Roshan Andrews not to commit these mistakes again.

Very bad script plus bad acting of Hero Mohanlal. Time for him to retire. Self boosting unnecessarily without substance. Just showing expensive backgrounds, locations, does not mean the movie can create a wow factor. Copying from Hollywood without supportive script will always downfall the entire movie.

Its really a waste of time.

Old movies were good, but this is total disaster, cannot watch more than 30 minutes.

We watch Malayalam movie to get a feel of Kerala and characters of Malayalee. This movie is just opposite of our expectation.

Where are those script writers, directors gone from the Malayalam Film industry.

Casanovva might not have pleased the fans, understandable for it isn't an out & out action flick, neither does it have the comic flavor to tickle our ribs! Rather its an amazing romantic thriller, think about it, how often do u get the blend of those two elements!! Yes, it's stylish and racy too. But i really loved the romantic part, the transition which Casanovva goes through could have been better scripted, but i don't think i have seen dramatic scenes without a pinch bit of surrealism in any Malayalam movies - exception comes in form of classics, but rarely do we see romantic threads in such movies.

The songs were melodic and catchy and peppy, though i awed at the intro song which was a bit inane. I was thoroughly disappointed that the track "sakhiye nin" wasn't there in the movie. The climax wasn't the best to be which i think is only the weak link. The locales weren't much aberrant as commented by my friends, nowadays even Tamil movies show them all. That said Malayalam movie with such stylishness and raunchiness is too good to miss! LALETTAN rocked as usual, shriya was good, and so were the others. Rosshan Andrews needs a standing ovation for presenting it neat, Sanjay & Bobby's screenplay wasn't crispy, but its so stupid to compare their works, Casanovva was written right after "NoteBook" and then came "Traffic" & unlike popular belief I don't think they are one time wonder. Also read many a time that the second half was lifted from "Engeyum Kadhal". Well, This movie was written 3 years back, and in that case it should be the other way. :-D

Personally, I would keep this movie close to my heart - of course I wouldn't endorse the movie to serious movie critics or to insane guys who claim to be a member of some fans association. For those who love to spend 3 hours on wholesome entertainment, this is a one time watch at least. Romance, Action, Songs, Drama. A regaling cuisine with all ingredients you would fall in love with.

"Casanovva"is a stylish flick with some shabby screenplay and leaves a lot to be desired in the end. Mohanlal as the modern day mallu version of the Italian adventurer & author Giacomo Casanova shoulders the movie throughout. The playboy character wouldn't go down well with the conservative malayalee society, but i loved every bit of it, courtesy my fondness for western movies. The locations, The action scenes and the background score were all so stylish, probably the best in Malayalam movies. But what would that offer if it's all dunked in a rather poor script! And that's where Casanovva stoops as a passable affair! Well, blame it on the promotions and hype, not to mention the expectations!

The music and cinematography needs special appreciation for giving us the exotic feel, dialogs in shades so rhetoric and rather inane at times, it takes irritatingly long to convince us the magic of love in the second half - should mention the magic didn't workout - and its unbelievably numb towards the end. The casting was okay, riyaz khan gets a meaty role and the others never outta place. I loved shriya saran for the first time sans skimpy outfits, the love chemistry with mohanlal was good. Boy oh boy! had it been made with suavity, the movie would have been magnificent. Fair enough, its still a watchable ride. Go fall in love...

Casanovva:A stylish Flick by Roshan Andrrews. The most anticipated movie ever happened in Malayalam industry was directed by Roshan Andrrews written by Bobby&Sanjay.The movie deals about a man named Casanovva who is the owner of 'Casanovva eternal spring'which deals the international marketing of flowers.Casanovva is a man who was loved by girls&who loved girls.the main content of the film is that Casanovva's tries to catch 4 criminals.

The movie is visual treatment with perfectly shot scenes& sensational&electrifying action sequence done by Alan Ameen.Jim Ganesh has done a spectacular job by creating some great visuals that will entertain you.though the storyline is not so bold the movie does not match up with it's expectations.But Casanovva sensational effort so that the crew of the film must be appreciated.in my view the casting was brilliant.i think Mohanlal is the only man who can do this character perfectly as this much.so he deserves applause.

There are some who Criticises this film as this film 'harases lady community'must at least think about the movie &ask to his mind whether he could make a film like this. the well composed music&BGM shines the film more.the movie is one time worth watch and can entertain you in all sense.though it does not live up to expectations. but there is only one question that remains that does Roshan give importance to style than story line. verdict:stylish entertainer one time watch.

As a most hyped movie of Malayalam industry .I have saw the movie first day it self. In one word i liked the movie very much. First half was very fast paced and all the three songs are there in the first half. The lead actor mohanlal's introduction as Casenovva is just excellent. He acted with such flexibility.

Positives 1. Good romantic movie 2. Excellent locations 3. Excellent songs 4. Excellent direction 5. Brilliant acting by the lead stars. 6. Most stylish movie 7. Malayalam film ever produced Good BGM Good action sequence Negatives Script is not up to the mark.

Young actors are not up to the mark, but no bad.

Verdict Anyway good movie as a romantic entertainer

I saw the movie yesterday, when the DVD got released. I wanted to watch this movie in the first place when it got released. But, due to the heavy negative reviews, i thought to wait till DVD release. The movie was not bad at all. Not the one movie to be remembered. I can say that the most stylish movie in Malayalam. Mohanlal as Cassnovva shines. But in some scenes, he doesn't suit the role and looks older. The first half went off like a roller-coaster but second half was OK (seems to be so boring in parts). So many unwanted dialogues and scenes makes the movie lil bit terrible. Songs are good. The BGM for the whole movie was peppy, but Gopi Sunder should minimize the unwanted noises.. LOL..

The new guys was not too good but they were OK.

All in whole ill give 6.8 out of 10.
