LouHomey From my favorite movies..
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
khabc Folks... This movie is for all those loving couples out there who believe in true everlasting love and commitment. Shraddha Kapoor is the most endearing actress since Madhuri & Deepika. Bollywood has unearthed a real diamond.Aditya roy is perfect for the role. Both he and Shraddha make a lovely pair.The movie will end with a joyful smile on your face. Perfect Honeymoon movie!!!
shobanchittuprolu 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
aishushobha This Review Might Contain SpoilersThis review is my perspective of the film OK Jaanu (2017)positives: 1) the message of film is beautiful and relevant for most of the youth of today who are confused about true love, it might help them to be guided in their individual journey of love. a) love is pure it cannot be played with b) multiple relationships give you peace which is transient not permanent c) Sex,casual dating etc... are definitely not what LOVE actually is d)Love is a bliss,Love is caring for each other,staying strong with each other through all thick and thinse)Marriage is a Marriage, Marriage has its own charm and sweetness,it is near impossible for any other thing to replace this beautiful institution f) you don't need yourself to go through multiple relationships and break ups to ultimately settle down with the one you feel is correct for you. g)just wait for the right time,the supreme power will definitely gift you your right soulmate, the ONLY ONE for you. h) while choosing between your career and LOVE,you don't need to sacrifice either one of them , you can keep both by finding the right way. i)the love story of Charulata Aunty and Gopi Uncle is the ideal form of love,which can be made a thing to be followed by the ones who are seeking the right way to love the other person. j)At last the Charulata- Gopi love story wins over Adi-Tara's non- committal love story k) Adi and Tara realise that true love is found in stability, in friendship and care2) The Enna Sona Song is the attractive factor of this film, at least for me as rest of the songs are same as OK Kanmani. The OK Jaanu title song is a dampener for me as I have already heard a very excellent version of it in Tamil and Telugu. I used to hate the original Humma Humma since childhood but after listening to its new version ( recreated by Badshah and Tanishk Bagchi) in the film I have started loving the original Humma Humma, I don't know how this crap recreation became such a big hit on YouTube, Jee Lein Zara is very good in Hindi due to its lyrics. All these songs are very good to be heard in the theatre and go according to the situations present the film. BACKGROUND SCORE: its mellifluous3) Cinematography is very good, even the sets and production values of this film are very good and better than the original film.4) Shraddha Kapoor looks very beautiful in the film, her costumes in the film are so good that I eagerly want them to be in the nearby stores for sale, Shraddha has surprisingly acted very well here, except some scenes she has acted very well in most of the scenes, Aditya looks good and has played his role how it should be. Its true that Shraddha and Aditya May fall short of the innate spark the pair of Dulquer And Nithya in the original Tamil film, but they are very good in themselves.5) the locations of Ahemadabad are good. 6) This film has good scenes, It is a very sweet and heart touching love story compared to other romantic comedy films being made in Bollywood recently.Since the film is same to same remake of OK Kanmani, the negatives of the film are same as OK KanmaniNegatives: 1) The film has a kind of screenplay which bores you from the word GO, From the opening credits to the end credits, the film is uninteresting.The screenplay does not involve you in the film, you do not travel emotionally with the journey of the lead characters in the film.Yes "something is happening on screen ", this is the feeling I got while watching the film.2) a scene in the film is not realistic,the scene where Adi-Tara talking a bit loudly on phones in the church where someone's marriage is going on,in reality you don't need to talk on the phones, either of the one can go and sit next to the other one if they really want to talk , in this way the silence of that place might not get disturbed.3) the lead characters are in merry making mood half of the time and laugh too much which is irritating and rest of the time they are so serious which is also irritating. jovial and serious moods of the leads should have been shown in such a balanced way that we would have understood their emotions.4) the film doesn't explore any other areas except the chemistry of the new age couple in the film, the story of Adi's family (dropping in and they mistake Tara to be Gopi's niece) is half-baked 7) they could have made a good family entertainer with the concept of living-in,it serves as neither a pure-realistic film nor a entertaining romantic comedy. This film could have been more better.
Samahire404 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...
