Aditya Roy Kapur is just so much eye candy that sometimes it gets too much for my blushing chubby cheeks. And I think Shradhha Kapoor has never looked this stunning in any film. Watching this film makes you realise that Mani Ratnam is a genius. Because there is nothing new to say in OK Jaanu, as there was nothing new to say in Ok Kanmani. It's just Saathiya for the newer generation, but while Kanmani had Dulquer, Nithya and the magic of Mani Ratnam himself, OK Jaanu clearly shows the cracks in the old tired story Shaad Ali is trying to retell like he did with Saathiya. Overall a fun timepass watch, but if you don't mind subtitles, I'd recommend OK Kanmani. Yes it doesn't have the shirtless hotness of Aditya Roy Kapur, but the film has a lot more , while being absolutely the same.

Mani Ratnam's 'Ok Kanmani', Tamil film that garnered enough love from the south Indian audience. Now is this reason enough to make a Hindi remake? Well as per Bollywood history, yes it is. OK Jaanu is the story of a young couple Adi and Tara who hit it off instantly and decide to live in together rather than tying the marital knot and carry on to pursue their dreams. A parallel track shows the relationship between their land lord and his wife who has Alzheimer's and the older couple makes Adi and Tara realize that they ought to do the right thing.Technically speaking there are not many faults in the film. But it's nothing that we haven't seen before. It's the same old wine served the same old way in the same old bottle. It's predictable and once again the climax doesn't make much sense. It looks more of a made up drama that a real sweet coming of age romance story of a young couple. I go with 2.5/5 for OK Jaanu.

I actually enjoyed the movie. It was a sweet one with good songs, decent acting and a fresh take on modern relationships.Aditya and Shraddha did actually good in the movie. Shaad Ali has done a good job in the film.

OK Jaanu is a fairly romantic drama, with beautiful tracks along with a creative and innovative fresh take on present day modern relationships! Since this is an official remake of O Kandhal Kanmani, I have not watched the Tamil movie so I cannot compare, but this definitely is worth a watch if you are into themes that are relationship- based with a combination of flirty romance, madness, cohabitation, love, loneliness, marriage and ambition. Adi (Aditya Roy Kapoor) who is a game developer and Tara (Shraddha Kapoor) who is an architect- a lovely young couple that does not believe in marriage but want to be together at that point without worrying what's going to happen next. Twists arrive when they face difficulties between choosing love and career and how they balance it out. Aditya's smile and charming looks along with beautiful Shraddha is always a lovely on screen pair to look forward to after Aashiqui 2. Also, the supporting cast comes up with impeccable performances. Kudos to Naseeruddin Shah and Leela. The music is very well accomplished. Full marks on the recreated Humma version!

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.

You can trust yourself rather than others.In my personal view, I found this movie interesting and entertaining. You find it for yourself. Nice to watch together with loved ones! :)

Also, if you love romantic drama movies than this movie is for you! Good luck

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

Aditya Roy Kapur is the greatest romantic lead in Bollywood cinema, he is truly perfect here. Aditya and Shraddha make the material genuinely investing and emotional, and form such complete portraits of these individuals. I genuinely cared about their relationship and truly desired for a happy ending. Yes love transcends everything.

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

It was stupid of me to expect a decent love story when the title itself is so cringy. Two grown adults speaking and behaving like teenagers with raging hormones. And having Naseeruddin in same film only contrasted the lead couples' shallow performance. I liked only last 15 minutes of film.

It's hard to believe it's the same lead pair of Aashiqui 2 - what a movie or maybe it was it's music album which have bestest songs ever 'cause I have watched the film only once but have watched/listened it's (Aashiqui 2) songs soooo mannyyyy times. Will have to listen to Chahun Main Ya Naa, Tum Hi Ho, Sun Raha Hai Naa...well complete album to get over the stupidity of Ok Jaanu.

'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.

A few things are improved here. The casting is better and certain scenes are better picturised.

No decent effort made towards the script. Just a substandard romantic script that's not even worth a one-time watch. Aditya Roy Kapoor acted quite well and was well into his character throughout.

The film starts off in a great way. But soon gets lost in the same old rut. A boy sees a girl and starts pursuing her like a pervert and the girl falls for him too right off the bat. As usual,romance follows between them. They start living in a relationship. Then family drama & other shits start adding into the mix which we've seen countless times in several movies, one way or another. Like I said earlier, everyone gave great performances, Aditya Roy Kapoor and Naseeruddin Shah in particular. Shraddha has stepped up her acting too but her voice still sounds cringy. She needs to focus more on the voice variation. Overall I enjoyed the movie for its sweetness alone but there were many flaws that stuck out in addition to its familiar and rehashed plot.

Don't listen to all these negative reviewers below. The movie is a charming love story and the lead roles share a good chemistry. I'm not sure what these other reviewers were expecting? It's a light-hearted comedy and well worth a watch on DVD on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The performances were decent and lot of endearing scenes and some great soundtracks.

Seriously, who's OKAY with OK Jaanu? Bollywood tries to recreate Mani Ratnam's OK Kanmani and this is the outcome.. O Kadhal Kanmani wasn't remarkable (plot)but it had terrific performances ( casting done right) and a beautiful soundtrack. Compared to DQ and Nitya, Aditya and Shraddha are easily forgettable. ''The only valid reason to watch it would be to groove to AR Rahman's music. But trust me, even that sounds better in Tamil.''

I did not have high hopes from this movie. The reviews I read everywhere were bad. When I watched the movie , I thoroughly enjoyed it. The problem is that the Indian audience has still a very long way to go before they start accepting live- in relationships or strings free romances. They feel that their culture is under threat by such films and hence a huge section of narrow minded audience does not let such films work. Aditya Roy Kapur is a decent actor. Shraddha Kapoor always reminds me of Padmini Kolhapuri. She is also a decent actress. Nasseruddin shah plays his role with honesty.

I am not sure why people hated this film. It was a great commercial entertainer. A breezy youthful romance.

Not great. Not bad. Just about right for a saturday evening in with the girls. And Aditya Roy Kapoor is a sight for sore eyes. Always.

Not much afterthought was given to the idea of remaking a romance film which was not a critical success in the first place. But then, one cannot expect originality from a director who has been consuming the shadow of other people all his life.

Tara (Shraddha Kapoor) is a young, dreamy architecture student-cum- researcher who is in love with Aditya (Aditya Kapoor), a video game developer trying to be a billionaire. They hit it off within days of meeting, and form a pact early in their relationship: no commitment whatsoever. So, they fool around as long as they can in a partial attempt to show the world that they do not care about societal stigmas, stereotypes, electrotypes, and all that comes with live-in relationships. The story is basically their romantic journey as they fight the varied thoughts and fears that surround such a relationship, and how they can take it forward without compromising their other commitments like work and lifestyle.

Sort of a crooked primer for modern marriage, Ratnam's story was clichéd then (O Kaadhal Kanamani (2015)) and is clichéd now. Just add some ounces of overacting, and you have the Hindi version, considering actress Leela Samson did not have to put in a single extra effort in reprising her role. OK Jaanu is a film about over-the-top youngsters who use black-and-yellow taxis (just so you get that vintage effect) in the time of Uber and Ola, consider life to be a snakes and ladders game, behave like high school sweethearts in the middle of the road, exaggerate like that figure of speech (hyperbole) that they learned last week in the English lecture, and DO NOT look like they are working people. It is, thus, a travesty when you see Aditya and Tara interact with each other romantically and try to showcase the youngsters of today. Just like Aditya Chopra got it terribly wrong in his blundering horseplay (Befikre (2016)), director Shaad Ali gets it wrong this time, too, three years after creating another load of garbage, Kill Dil (2014). Just look at the title of both the films: so 20th century.

While there is this wee bit of diligence and maturity in Shraddha's performance AND her character, it is Aditya who overacts to the tooth. Just like someone asked here in the IMDb message boards, "Whatever happened to the guy?!" He was a good actor few years ago, even in the rehashed version of Aashiqui (1990), but in here, he just tries to be this chocolate boy who smells of burnt cocoa. Naseeruddin Shah is the only respite for people like me, who also seems to be the only sane character in the whole film, literally even.

However, there is a hint of delight in the screenplay and there is a average chance that you may get bored with the happenings. You will get annoyed, sure, but director Ali makes the broth a little spicy to save you from the boredom. Although, should you choose to watch the film and if you really think of walking out the hall after sitting through twenty minutes, I would suggest you wait for the scene (unfortunatey in the second half) where Tara takes a selfie of her and Aditya and terms it as "our first quarrel selfie". Visualise that in Hindi, and then you can walk out, because now you have company.

BOTTOM LINE: Shaad Ali's "Ok Jaanu" is a childish attempt at showcasing romantic relationships of today's youth. The biggest problem is that most things here are just imagination, a factor that should have been limited when you are talking about reality. Watch it for Shraddha's expressions when it airs on TV, but do switch channels between commercials.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO

Something I don't understand which is shitting out unusual remakes for no reason. I think that the South Indian version was good enough although I haven't seen it because I can't speak or understand Tamil. Honestly the trailer was underwhelming based on the chemistry thinking it was too far beyond a point and made me realize that live in romance can just make a film too far fest and uneven like Befikre.

So we have a boy who wants to pursue gaming spots a girl who has intentions of studying architecture in Paris who threatens to commit suicide in front of a guy and then later they meet at a wedding and both fall in love but use their relationship in a way that their passions don't get compromised with love being the reason.

The acting is okay in parts. Aditya and Shraddha have given similar performances before like in Aashiqui 2 and they're roles just didn't match my expectations although their acting is reviving which is good. Nasseruddin Shah's role as a lawyer acted fine but in most movies he acts like a patient who was just recovering from a stroke.

The music is average and no song really stands out as such. Umma song just got pretty annoying after attempting a loop listening technique. A.R Rahman is lacking magic especially after applying magic in Jai ho and won an Oscar for it.

Mani Ratnam has failed like this before. I can reminisce Raavan- a movie I couldn't sit through. But he has potential of making better films but remakes don't count just like this one. I liked Guru and Dil Se which were directed by him. Shaad Ali's direction has always been too sloppy like Kill Dil and Bunty our Babli and he shot this movie in a very south Indian style which explains Ravi K Chandran being the DOP for this movie.

Overall, this movie lacked magic with poor direction, average music, and poor writing. Definitely OK Jaanu should be a T.V watching movie and save money for Raees.

All, Watch this movie, it is a simple and current trend of Live-in relationship in Urban/Metro areas, there is no non-sense movie, I prefer to say little and urge to watch to understand.

Moreover it from Madras Talkies - A Mani Ratnam Movie

Cheers
