Sweet, diluted version of OK Kanmani but sweet nonetheless

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.

You can skip watching it in theatre.

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.
