Leave your thoughts about Ok Jaanu.
| The Times of IndiaNihit BhaveThe thing that works most in OK Jaanu's favour is its screenplay, kept intact from its Tamil predecessor. It is a scene-for-scene remake and capitalizes on great moments from the original film. |
| Hindustan TimesSweta KaushalAR Rahman's music and Gulzar's pen add to the charismatic, positive vibe of the movie -- while the music keeps it peppy and new-age, Gulzar's dialogues ensure that melodrama does not overpower the film. |
| Scroll.inNandini RamnathAli has all the elements in place for a breezy ode to young love, but his mechanical approach and miscasting ensure that OK Jaanu is not exactly an okay remake. |
| Gulf News (UAE)Manjari SaxenaIt's disappointing to see a man of Mani Ratnam's calibre pen a story that loses its plot as it keeps presenting the same thing over and over again in slightly different settings. |
| The National (UAE)Aarti JhuraniDo yourself a favour and watch the Tamil version with subtitles, because the Hindi version is a pale imitation. |
| ReutersShilpa JamkhandikarThere is something to be said for a film that takes a tired romantic trope and turns it into a tale that will bring a smile to your face. |
| User ReviewPramitheus RJust such a beautiful movie. You get the feels man! Wholesome, well-done movie (duh! It's by the same team as Saathiya) that leaves you feeling good vibes throughout. Aditya and Shraddha still got the chemistry but Naseerudin Shah added a lot in his supporting role. It was nice. Such a shame that quality movies made with such sincerity are getting overlooked and trashed. This is obviously not a masala movie or some sleezy fare, it's just a nice movie with some positive vibes and relevant material especially for the millennial generations. Well worth the watch in theaters. Songs are beautiful too (AR Rahman!). |
| User ReviewSparsh DAn entertaining film. Great music by A. R. Rahman per usual. Good performance from Aditya Roy Kapoor. Shraddha Kapoor was alright. Chemistry was OK. Nothing spectacular about the film though. |
| User ReviewPrasanna BPerformances of Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor are good, but it is the lack of substance in the story that does it in. This makes the whole tale a big drag on audiences. One hour into the movie, and you are still waiting for that hook to reel you in. Read more on MovieRecipe blog. |
| User ReviewMirza Mohd SRating - 1 / 5 Ok Jaanu is an inconsequential attempt to remake Mani Ratnam's vastly superior O Kadhal Kanmani and thus fails badly because in here director Shaad ali offers nothing fresh but an exact copy version of the former. While in the former Dulquer Salmaan and Nithya Menen's chemistry brought an effortless charm and left the audience spellbound. However in Ok Jaanu both leads fail to rekindle the same magic they had in Aashiqui 2 mainly because in here they seek no commitments but a relationship which is less dramatic. There are two reasons due to which i was able to sit down and watch this film, one gorgeous AR Rahman soundtrack which was also present in O kadhal kanmani and two the wonderful Naseeruddin Shah and Leela Samson, who play the older couple having been married for 50 years set an example for the younger ones to get the true meaning of love. I wished there was more of screen presence for both but it was not to be. Director Shaad ali hardly does anything to make it a compelling one but only manages to make it overlong and bloated. The ending is predictable and thus a poor attempt to remake a classic O kadhal kanmani. |
