OK JAANU: Movie Review
 |

Adi is a video game developer with the American dream; Tara is an architect, destined for Paris. But they lock eyes at a wedding and all their plans go out of the window. They flirt, take a trip together, move in and decide to date for as long as they’re both in Mumbai. But as expected, both fall in love and eventually marry. The story line has nothing new to give to its audience but the screenplay is what attracts them.
The screenplay is kept intact from its Tamil predecessor and is a scene-for-scene remake and capitalizes on great moments from the original film. The music (largely retained) with Gulzar’s new lyrics also does a throwback to “OK Kanmani” in the best way possible.

Aditya Roy Kapur shines as a goofy, shorts-wearing
man-child. Shraddha is mostly sincere too, but Adi and Tara’s impulsive
infatuation is countered by Gopi uncle (Naseeruddin Shah) and Charu aunty’s
(Leela Samson) golden-jubilee marriage; both senior actors grounding the movie
and saving it from becoming frivolous.
In spite of its Pros, one can’t deny that unsure young lovers and their battle with commitment phobia is a tired topic to begin with. Moreover, if you’ve seen the original Tamil film, it’ll get tedious after a while, knowing exactly what’s coming next.

Talking
about the songs the tile track and ‘Enna sona’ will surely grab many ears. But it
is surprising that all those were composed by A.R Rahman, this happens because
his standards are expected much more higher than that used in this movie.
There is nothing much to offer in the acting part execpt the charm that both of them have. Naseer sir like always has impressed the audience by his versatality.

Also to be concidered is the direction of the film dosent loose the pace and even does not drag, a huge thumbs up for that.
If you haven’t seen the original though, you’re sure to walk
out of the theatre with a warm-fuzzy feeling. Go
and watch OK JAANU for Shraddha and Adity’s chemistry plus the amazing
screenplay of the film.
