Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Tejas Nair 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

Binoy Santhakumar (bonzybino) "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...

alishafana movie delivers what it promises...a feel good romantic action thriller... mohanlal performs with ease he looks very cool.. n shreya sharan she was dam beautiful in the movie.. i guess she looks best in it.... action scenes are also taken well ... The biggest highlight of the movie is the scale in which it is made, with the plush cars, number of choppers , great locales, chartered planes and beautiful ladies all contributing to the finest looks ever in Mollywood, that may match the league to visual stunner's of Bollywood. Yes, this is an invitation from Mollywood that contest the big league of commercial players of India. The technical sides are top notch with Jim Ganesh contributing some finest visuals to the journey. Slick editing by Mahesh Narayanan also elevates the movie. But this cannot be told about the story lines, which indeed appear good in the initial reels. The first half pretty matches the expectations from the biggie, but in the later half while dealing with the lead man's original love with a salsa dancer named Sameera (Shriya Saran) who transforms him to a romantic than a womanizer, 'Casanovva' looks sulky and strained a bit. And since it is the first movie to appear in Mollywood with a totally distant thread and shot entirely in foreign locales, the movie does not pay heed to traditional meticulous demand of on lookers for logic, in each and every scene. Some of the duologue's penned by Sanjay-Bobby looks inviting enough as it matches the off screen image that the lead star propagates all through. The songs by three music directors just fit the bill, though the 'Alphonse track' Hey manohara theerame...' is a foot tapping material. The BG scores and theme score by Gopi sundar are also impressive SUPERHIT WRITTEN ALL OVER

Mathew Puthoor 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...
