Review:: Josettante Hero

Vijayaraghavan as Josettan in 'JOSETTANTE HERO' tries desperately to live up to the role of a washed out film maker throwing his dice for one last time. His one-time protégé Haritha(Krita Kapoor), who has become abusy star, comes to help him with dates conjured out of nowhere. Superstar Ravi Praksh (Ashokan) also agrees to act in Josettan’s film though his intentions were not so noble. Josettan has to endure several mishaps during the shooting but Haritha comes tohis aid every time. And then there is Saajan (Anoop Menon), who was just a photographer forced to take up acting. He gets some coaching from the director (Nandu) and miraculously manifests into a verygood actor. Through all his travails, Haritha stands by Josettan’s side helping with dates by avoiding other directors, by giving money when Josettan is left penniless and supporting him emotionally. In the last part, it was Saajan whohelps him with a daring rescue act to save the film reels and somehow reach the theaters just in time for the release. After coming out of the theater, was a bit perplexed and unable toidentify the real hero in the movie.Was it Haritha with all her compassion and empathy trying desperately to save Josettan or Saajan who acrobatically saves the reels from perishing? May be the director has left it to the viewer to decide! However, the acting is nothing to write home about and most of it comes out as one dimensional. Even the attempts to highlight theidiosyncrasies of superstars have not hit the target. Story is hardly plausible and somescenes are positively outrageous. Dialogues are lacking in content and spirit. All in all, you wont miss anything by giving the film a miss. Verdict: Avoid.
