OK Jaanu (2017): O Kaadhal Kanmani is one of the best romantic films in recent times and it mainly worked because of its terrific casting and brilliant music and sensible direction by Maniratnam.OK Kanmani did wonders with a simple plot so remake of such film needs a perfect output to become a success.A proper casting will be enough for remaking OK Kanmani and Shaad Ali selected Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shradhdha Kapoor in OK Kaanu.Did their chemistry looked as lovely as Dulquer and Nitya Menon?Plot: A love story between Adi (Aditya Roy) and Tara (Shradhdha) in Mumbai who have different goals which may disturb their no worries live in relationship.Plus Points: 1)Music: AR Rahman's soulful music of OK Kanmani is reused here and there is no doubt that even after 50 years this songs will get same response.2)Cinematography: OK Jaanu used the exact same camera angles of OK Kanmani and the beautiful Mumbai looked lovely.Minus Points: 1)Casting: As I had said earlier,OK Jaanu would only work with perfect casting but here it failed terribly.I know that both Aditya Roy and Shradhdha Kapoor are good actors but here they tried to imitate the performances of Dulquer and Nitya respectively and its is the major blow to the movie's feel.There lacked any mesmerizing chemistry between them and this is the sole reason for the disappointment of OK Jaanu.2)Direction: I hope Shaad Ali should never remake any other Maniratnam's movies again.So,OK Jaanu is a terrible remake of OK Kanmani and Rahman's music is the only pro of this movie.My rating 4/10

Directed by : Shaad Ali Star cast : Aditya Roy Kapur,Shraddha Kapoor, Naseerudding Shah, Leela Samson Music : AR Rahman While we are recovering from the torment that Aditya Chopra inflicted on us with his take on modern-day live-in relationships Befikre that released almost a month back, Shaad Ali's OK Jaanu, a scene-by-scene rehash of Maniratnam's Tamil superhit - O Kadhal Kanmani,has ensured that we stick to the inertia. The millennial romance which stars the love-struck couple, Adi(Aditya Roy Kapur) a Techie who devises computer games and is headed for Silicon Valley and Tara( Shraddha Kapoor)who wants to pursue Architecture as a career in Paris, doesn't offer anything new but brings back memories of Saathiya, Shaad's first foray into Bollywood as director.Adi and Tara meet at a friend's wedding and sparks fly instantly. They start dating each other and eventually live-in.Both are sure about their relationship clause - they don't to string in any form of commitment into it.Both have different ambitions and want to pursue their dreams independently. Until love gets in the way .Shaad offers us with a been there-seen that premise, without any interesting moments spicing up the plot. Rather it's interesting to see the elderly couple who are Adi's landlord, played by the versatile Naseeruddin Shah and Leela Samson.Unlike Adi and Tara, their love has endured misfortune and defied time. This couple makes the younger ones realize the deeper meaning of love.Both Kapur and Kapoor are sincere in their respective parts and they share an effortlessly easy chemistry with each other, but they are not magnetic enough to distract us from the film's flaws - its juvenile writing and the hollow plot. Bereft of emotional depth, rarely does it try to induce a sense of urgency. In fact, AR Rahman's infectious soundtracks (employed from the original) is a major mercy, which glosses over the film's flat narrative.A word of praise for DOP, Ravi K Chandran who immaculately captures the essence of the Mumbai city - its crowd, the buses , the locals. Its vibrant and colorful.I was awestruck with the nuances of the Begum Akhtar paintings and the vignettes of the monuments (in Ahmedabad) brought on the celluloid, and also the artistically- curated rooms .And mind you, there is too much of it which jars your head..like the frequent montages of Adi and Tara pubbing at night clubs and driving endlessly on the Mumbai streets.On the whole, OK Jaanu is a strictly OK, feel-good movie which hardly shows much potential. Its like a soufflé that will sink like a stone at the box office.

OK Jaanu Directed By Shaad Ali Saathiya Movie Fame is A Romantic Drama. It is Official Remake Of Tamil "O Kadhal Kanmani" By Mani Ratnam. Script is Neither Good Nor Bad. Screenplay is Repetitive & Predictable. Direction By Shaad Adds Nothing New To Screenplay Depicted in Tamil Version. Dialogues Are Just Fine.Aditya(Aditya Roy Kapoor) is A Video Game Developer Who Accidentally Meets Taara(Shradhha Kapoor) At Railway Station. They Again Meet At His Friends Wedding. They Soon Begin To Call Each Other, Go Out Together, And Start To Fall in Love.They Agree That Marriage is Not For Them And Decide To Have A Live-in Relationship Instead, And Taara Moves into Adi's Place, Rented From Gopi Shrivastav(Naseerudin Shah).They Wish To Spend Their Time With Each Other Before They Go Their Separate Ways For Their Respective Careers. Meanwhile They Sort Out, Why They Need Each Other And What is Importance Of Being Together Which Tends To Change Their Mindset.Acting Wise, Aditya Roy Kapoor Has A Long Way To Go To Prove Himself As An Actor. He is Just Fine in Few Scenes. Same With Shraddha Kapoor She is Scrictly Average. The Pair Looks Good But There is Lack Of Chemistry. Naseerudin Shah is Not Utilized Effectively But Leela Samson is Better in Her Complex Character As An Alzheimer Patient. Rest Of The Cast is Forgettable.Music By A.R Rehman is Very Average. "Ok Jaanu" By A.R Rehman & Shrinidhi Venkatesh is A Better Composition Of The Lot.Overall Movie Has Nothing New To Offer. It Has Same Plot Like Befikre, A Fair Totally Avoidable.
