Shafi’s Chocolate tells the story of a boy, who comes to study in a women’s college. Prithviraj plays the lead Shyam Balagopal and Roma is the heroine Ann mathew. The movie starts with the PTA meeting happening in the St.Mary’s women’s college (Secret Heart College, Thevara) to make it a mixed one. Due to the parents’ offence, they turns down the decision but allots one boy as per the rule for the PG course. The main gang of Roma, Samvritha and Ramya are against the arrival of a boy where the opposite gang welcomes it. He arrives in and there starts the feast of a complete romantic comedy entertainer.
Prithviraj excels as Shyam, and the first day class room scene is enough to prove his comedy talents. After Classmates, Keralites get the chance to see some nice romance on the screen. Prithviraj and Roma carries good on-screen chemistry and it is handled with care. Among the crew, the new writers Sachi and Sethu deserves the first applause for the gripping script. But the second half could have been made even better (some scenes are predictable and fight scene could have been avoided). The climax scene is innovative and it suits the film’s mood. Salim Kumar also contributes to the comedy part and Jayasurya is good in the supporting role.
With Chocolate, Shafi proves that he can also make visually appealing movie if there is a good script with him. The costume designer and the art director deserves a special mention for making the film really colourful. Alex Paul’s music is a let down, but the romantic melody “Ishtamalle…” is really hummable and is shot well. The film is sure to get many repeated viewers and is going to become the megahit of the year.
Can give 7/10.
