Ok Jaanu movie review by audience: Live update

OK Jaanu movie review

Director Shaad Ali's Bollywood movie OK Jaanu, featuring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor in lead roles, has received mixed reviews from the audience across the globe.

Story/Plot:

OK Jaanu is a romantic drama film. It is an official remake of Mani Ratnam's Tamil film, O Kadhal Kanmani, starring Dulquer Salmaan and Nithya Menen. Director Shaad Ali adapted the same story in Bollywood with a few changes in the screenplay to suit the taste of Hindi audience. Mani Ratnam has produced the movie in collaboration with Karan Johar under the banners Madras Talkies and Dharma Productions.

The story revolves around Adi (Aditya Roy Kapur), who is a game designer from Lucknow and dreams of immigrating to the US. Tara (Shraddha Kapoor) is a graduate working in an architecture firm who wants to go to Paris to pursue higher education. They meet each other at a friend's wedding and become close friends. As time passes, they get into a live-in relationship, but their dreams force them to part ways. What happens next forms the crux of the story.

Analysis:

The story of OK Jaanu, which has already become a hit with the South Indian audience, will impress Hindi viewers too. Some feel-good romantic scenes keep them entertained in the first half of the film. The second half is also good, but its slow-paced narration tests people's patience. The climax is predictable, they say. 

Performances:

Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor have delivered good performances. The sparkling chemistry between the two is the highlight of Ok Jaanu. Naseeruddin Shah, Karan Nath and Leela Samson, who have played supporting roles, have done justice to their parts, and are also among the assets of the movie, says the audience.

Production:

OK Jaanu has rich production values. AR Rahman's melodious soundtracks and background score, Ravi K Chandran's cinematography, selection of beautiful costumes and exotic locales are the attractions too, according to viewers.

We bring you some viewers' opinions on the film shared on Twitter and Facebook. Here is the live update of Ok Jaanu movie review by audience:

Okay, it is upbeat. It is a fast-paced love story, almost with like a "Vrooom" label on it. The small duration is definitely an add-on here. The chemistry between Aditya and Shraddha was never a doubt, as they hit off their career with a successful romantic film. It also struck my mind that Aditya has always been consistent with his performances but Shraddha is very unpredictable. Her work in her last few films was a disaster and the complete opposite in the current one. Moving on, A. R. Rahman rocked the music bit and Naseeruddin Shah and Leela Samson also do their parts quite superbly. It is based on a Tamil film by Mani Ratnam [Ok Kadhal Kanmani] who also gives the contribution of screenplay, story (was originally by him) and production in Ok Jaanu. The film's high point here is one of the approaches of modern relationships. Yet, it doesn't quite fill the bill for me. 3/5

#OkJaanu is about #liveinrelationship And it's relevance in today's world and also premarital sex which is I guess quite a good topic #OkJaanu #ShraddhaKapoor Is looking absolutely gorgeous in the movie and she is looking really cute as well with a beautiful smile

An embarassing yet amazing moment - when I crept into the theatre of #OkJaanu during the interval of another film just for @arrahman :P :P

Kaushik LM ‏@LMKMovieManiac

#OkJaanu 1st half -Going fine so far. Amazing chemistry bet. the love-struck pair - @ShraddhaKapoor & Aditya. #ShraddhaKapoor is too good

खबरीलाल ‏@raghavjaitly

Opening credit-roll of #OkJaanu is quirky and interesting. It will give you all the new-age feels Aditya and Shraddha are too comfortable with each other and it reflects in their on-screen chemistry. Best part about their pairing #OkJaanu *Flirting level = Genius* Future Planning in the very first conversation. Way to go Aditya and Shraddha #OkJaanu Aditya Roy Kapur and Naseeruddin Shah are fighting it out in the battle of generations #OkJaanu AR Rahman's music raises the entertainment quotient of Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor starrer #OkJaanu So far, the pace of #OkJaanu is pretty slow to make audience understand the storyline. Where is the plot heading? Still confused Okay! so, cheesy romance has spilled everywhere now. More lovely-dovey scenes to continue in the second half? #Interval #OkJaanu And complications begin for Aditya and Shraddha after interval #OkJaanu Same old Bollywood cliché: Love or career, Aditya and Shraddha have a tough decision to make #OkJaanu Rain, Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor all over again. Does it remind you of anything? Oh 'Aashiqui 2' magic #OkJaanu Aditya and Shraddha prove that sometimes it is actually mature to act a bit immature. #OkJaanu An intense climax will make you witness the lesser-seen aide of Aditya and Shraddha's on-screen personalities #OkJaanu And it all with a happy #OkJaanu AR Rahman and Naseeruddin Shah steal the show

Prerna Pratham Singh ‏@InspiredWitch

Ok Jaanu comes across as a cocktail of every other rom com made till now. Nothing different. The only saving grace of this film is Naseeruddin Shah. Both the leads are overacting uptil now. Too much ho gaya ye toh.
