#OKKanmani First half belongs to ARR, Leela Samson and Dulquer. I want to say Mani Ratnam is back, but just holding until the film ends.
#OKKanmani using one relationship as a metaphor for the leads to discover themselves. Excellent detailing. Music. Visuals. Dialogs. Neaaat!
@RogerisGod breezy. You see the lives of two characters. A narration of events in their lives in 6 months. That's all. No complicated shit.

#OKKanmani - A.R.R delivers what is needed for a pucca romance movie.Nothing great but still too good.
#OKKanmani - P.C.Sreeram camera work is yet another highlight.Seems like cinematography has becum a camewalk for him irrespective of genre
#OKKanmani - Apart from the lead couple,PrakashRaj and Leela Samson couple also impresses.Prakash a very natural performer proved once again
#OKKanmani - So far Manirathnam has proved he is not outdated and updated to this gen love.Waiting for second half.
#OkKanmani - Already 5 songs finished in the first half.But all through the flow of the movie.Mental manadhil visuals could have been better
#OKKanmani - Interval.So far good.Typical Manirathnam style love movie that deals about co-habitation.Dulquer and Nithyamenon steal the show

OK Kanmani: Maniratnam may not be an expert on how boy meets girl today but he sure as hell knows all about what happens when they do! Love!
By love, I mean I loved it. Great return to form & familiar territory for Maniratnam. Dulquer, Nithya & Prakash Raj very good ! #OKKanmani
