Anoop Menon is one actor who amazingly made a good
fan following within the very short time he is into acting business. The
actor with a number of fans in the families is in a juncture where he
can work out on his roles and films and turn a more dependable star and
find a place among the top brass of Mollywood. But as that happened with
Siddhique, Kalabhavan Mani and Biju Menon a few years ago , Anoop is
handicapped with his wrong role selection in a couple of recent films,
which may resist him in his travel to the status of a more bigger star.
The latest from the star ' Josettante Hero, directed
by K K Haridas is one film whose theatrical performance depends largely
on the star in Anoop Menon. But provided with a film that doesn't offer
anything fresh other than the performances of him and also
Vijayaragahavan , Anoop must also make sure that he is not making a
mockery of his fans. What he is needed to do at this hour is to accept
those films only, which really answers the demands for more different
narratives and story lines.
The movie has Vijayaraghavan as Josettan, a
struggling producer with a lot of personal problems who always loved to
create quality flicks. But unable to move with the trends of the times,
Josettan finds his last chance of resurgence in the offer from the very
popular heroine Haritha(krithika Kapoor), who was one introduced to the
industry by Josettan. Haritha takes every step to support Josetaan by
earmarking maximum dates to the film, evading her Tamil producers. Ravi
Prakash(Ashokan)) the reigning superstar and another find of Josettan
initially agrees to the project with something else on mind, but later
denies from participating even in the photo shoot of the film. Left in
turmoil Josetten now decides to take it as a challenge and agrees to
Haritha's suggestion of casting the movies still photographer Saajan as
the hero. The rest of the movie is pretty predictable as Ravi Prakash
can't stay aloof watching a new star in the making and Sajan will not
find it so easy to shift the profession on a single night.
Seriously doubted as yet another case of creating a
film just for that satellite rights, Suraj and Sudheesh are introduced
in shorter scenes for boosting that Satellight tag. The Story by Anzar
Kalabhavan and Sathyan Kolangad doesn't offer any freshness, as Anoop's
last film 'Mullassery madhavan Kutty 'was also in similar lines except
that Anoop's character in that film was as an ordinary man suddenly
forced to direct a movie .The dialogues are also pretty average, with
the attempts on humour' falling flat. Director K K Haridas, who is
currently in a stage similar to that of film's Josettan, sadly but
desist any attempts to work in a more appreciable way. It's his shoddy
direction that acts as a speed breaker of the entire film and the less
said about the climax, the better.
The performances by the cast are uniformly average,
though Anoop's Thrisuur slang appeared good. Kriti Kapoor, is seen lost
in demanding role, while Vijayaragaavan, Zeenath and Ashokan played
appreciably in their roles. The rest of the cast etches out below par
performances.
In the end of it all, this 'Josettante Hero' is not
that engaging stuff to qualify as an average cinema. It's better for
the Anoop fans to wait at their homes for better offerings from the
star, which we are sure to come up in a couple of months.
