Analysis :
Suhasini should get lots of appreciation for doing such a different role as egoistic and cunning women with gray shades. She balanced her emotions really well in the film. Suhasini fans can't afford to miss this film. Prasanth is good and did extremely well. The Miss Goa Jaya Re did some neat work as an actress and a glamorous temptress. Mumtaj got a chance to show some histrionics along with her plunging neckline. But it's Suhasini that dominated the show by her performance in the second half.
TeluguOne Perspective :
Chocolate is an average film in holistic perspective. The first half is pretty entertaining and the second half is rather predictable. This film is definitely not a boring one. You can watch it once, if you can bear the scent Tamil and double entendres. But you can't afford to miss that negative portrayal of Suhasini character in which she mesmerizes you with those victorious smirks and cunning glints.
