Many segments of movies like Dheena and Dhil made it obvious that the movies were targeted at the college going section of the audience. Perhaps inspired by their success, director Venkatesh offers us Chocklet(what's with the odd spelling?!) that is even more clearly targeted at the same demographic. But instead of a cute romance or youthful sequences, he stoops to take the cheap route, stuffing the film with large dollops of glamour, double entendre dialogs and vulgarity. But the strategy just backfires since the overdose will only serve to keep away the majority of the movie-goers.

Aravind(Prashanth) is a college student, in love with Anjali(Jayare), a student from another college. AC Jayachandran(Livingston), who is estranged from his wife Sharada(Suhasini), is his close friend. Aravind takes it upon himself to unite the sparring husband and wife and offers to fix up the marriage of their daughter with the boy of their choice. But what he doesn't know is that their daughter is none other than Anjali, who has vowed not to live with her parents until they get together. Aravind succeeds in uniting the couple but is then asked by Sharada to give up his love since she wants her daughter to wed the boy chosen earlier.

Tamil cinema has never had much luck in accurately(or even entertainingly) portraying life on a college campus and Chocklet is one more addition to the list. Boisterous students, scantily-clad girls and harried teachers are once again the inhabitants of this filmi college. Eternal college students Charlie and Dhamu(guess they couldn't get Chinni Jayanth's callsheet!) are on hand as Prashanth's friends and barring one scene, there are no signs of classes taking place in either college. The students spend their time in groups, chatting, dancing and teasing the girls. There's also the event without which no tamil movie set in a college seems to be complete - the 'inter-college dance competition'.

While recent movies have generally been quite decent with only the occasional dance sequence giving way to glamour, Chocklet seems to revel in vulgarity. Double entendre dialogs make their way into almost every scene with the vulgarity peaking during Prashanth and co.'s trip to the ladies hostel. Even Prashanth's dialogs with Jayare are laced with double meanings. Many lines are silenced and even the ones that have escaped the censor's scissors make the movie unwatchable with family. Jayare is never adequately clothed, especially in the song sequences and there is a double role for Mumtaj, who seems to be ubiquitous these days. Her second role has been unabashedly inserted for the sake of glamour and all her dance sequences in both roles make us wince with their gyrations and vulgar movements.

By itself, the movie contains the ingredients for a passable story. Prashanth trying to unknowingly arrange his lover's wedding and Livingston helping him in his romance contain a little suspense on the outcome. There is a little twist regarding the Jayare's suitor and Suhasini's machinations from then onwards raise some interest by giving us a unique villain. But the climax turns prepostrous with Prashanth literally coming back from the dead.

Prashanth does what he can, fighting and dancing with gusto. Jayare displays a lot but not her acting ability. Mumtaj does what's expected of her. She's put on a whole lot of weight and seems to be everywhere these days with abundant glamour but lack of any discernible acting ability. The seniors come up with nice performances. Suhasini, seen onscreen after a long gap, does well as the sheep in wolf's clothing. She does well using her eyes to communicate in the scenes where appears to sweettalk Prashanth while threatening him. Livingston doesn't indulge in comedy for a change but is believable as the good-hearted police officer. Deva turns to his favorite duppanguthu tunes for the college atmosphere.
