Sorry, this movie sucks

A Masterpiece!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

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

OK JAANU REVIEW : I was not much excited for this film but i had no other option to watch, so i just watched it as time pass and film wasn't that bad really. A decent story, simple direction, good Chemistry of Aditya-Shraddha, couple of good songs, overall it not a Must watch but it should be watched at least once if you really have no other option in hand. The one thing which disappointed me was, i don't understand what was there in the Script that film has been remade in Bollywood, i mean just to Copy from South, makers could have easily chose a better script. Keeping minuses aside, let's talk about Good Thing of the Film. Aditya and Shraddha did a good job, not great but still on a better level considering Script. Music is decent, not chart buster though. 'Humma Humma' and 'Enna Sona' are my picks. Script is well written but it doesn't look great as a whole. Screenplay is Average. Dialogues were Good till the Interval but in 2nd half it lost its charisma. Cinematography is Very Good, film is shot on real location in Mumbai such as running Train, Streets which is not an easy task. Direction is Above Average, could have been much better but don't know it just didn't connect well. Final Words- OK Jaanu is OK OK film which you can easily watch or tolerate at least once. Just don't keep expectations high, watch it as Timepass. Box Office wise this film will be Average to Semi Hit as i personally think this film does not have enough elements to become a Clean Hit. Watch it or skip, it really doesn't make any difference. I'm going with 6/10* as i can't give 5.5...

'Ok Jaanu' is a classic example of meaningless cinema. The movie struggles to pick up and keeps giving the audience a chance to say "kya bakwass movie hai, paise barbaad ho gaye" during the course of the movie itself. The story lacks sense, what else can u say when hero and heroine meet for the first time across the railway platform (just see each other) and then in their 2nd meeting without talking to each other simply exchange their numbers. I mean come on in todays world who does that. Then director struggles to bring any masala to their romantic journey and it keeps touching new lows. Finally u reach a stage where u start looking at ur watch and pray please let the movie get over. The only twist or suspense in the movie was that how will the hero and heroine get out of the situation where they have to decide between career and love. And when you will get to know the decision you will further curse yourself for deciding on coming for the movie. But thankfully by then it will time for you to leave the theatre. So watch this movie only if you have nothing better to do over the weekend, cos over weekdays I am sure you would have better things to do. One last comment, I can't understand why Shraddha Kapoor is wasting her talent in such useless projects. Hope she doesn't become lady Shakti Kapoor who was seen in almost every useless movie that use to hit theatre at one point in time.

OK JAANU - So , its an official remake of O Kadhal Kanmani , which one was written and directed by Great Mani Ratnam. But this one is directed by Shaad Ali (screenplay was by Mani Ratnam this time too) who is a pretty good director (director of SAATHIYA) but nowhere close to Mani Ratnam . I haven't seen O Kadhal Kanmani so cant compare. But it was a box office success and critically acclaimed film with hit songs. As for now critical acclaim is not the thing which OK JAANU will get. Box Office success will only be known in future. Songs are not huge hit (although both movies are composed by A R Rehman) , i personally like the title track but The Humma Song and Enna Sona were both average and rest of the songs are pretty non commercial , will only be liked by those persons who like that particular genre of song. But the visual depiction of all three main songs are very good with each song given its different treatment. And the other songs too well mixed within the movie without hampering the pace. And the pace is the thing which makes this movie entertaining without anything exceptional in writing. It never slows down. And filled with Ashiqui 2 moments here and there to keep up the interest. About the chemistry , we all have seen how great they both act beside themselves in Ashiqui 2 . Same goes here. Aditya and Shradhaa are perfect complimentary actors to each other. And they both makes the romance seems natural. I don't know is it me or Shradha Kapoor is becoming more and more cute with every next film. She was the perfect gf in this movie whom every boy wants. The sidetrack love story of Nassiruddin shah and his wife was very important to the main storyline . Through those two mature lovers struggling in their old age , Adi and Tara (our main leads) try to learn the importance of marriage and being together. The problem with the movie was , its too predictable. You know whats gonna happen in every single time period. And the Dilemma of choosing between Love and Carrier was not explored enough. But as i said , the pace of the movie was good , never give you a chance to get bore. Those who are bored of watching this kind of movies (BEFIKRE is recent months) could get annoyed by the same type of storyline , but for those who still cant get enough of free spirited love stories , will get enjoyed with this feel good movie where nothing much bad happens. And yes , the way in which this movie has been shot , it surely shows that the Cinematographer is in love with MUMBAI CITY. Still there is a thought inside me thinking this could have been better if Mani Ratnam had directed it by himself. 7.1/10 ANuP APu KuMaR
