Perhaps the makers thought that reuniting Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor would fetch results similar to their last outing, Aashiqui 2. That isn’t the case. Aashiqui 2 was a romantic melodrama, which revived a musical franchise; OK Kanmani is Mani Ratnam’s take on an urban breezy romance When it comes to a remake, comparisons are inevitable. Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor have big shoes to fill, and despite their efforts they fail to recreate the magic of South’s hit pair which is much-needed for the film to strike a chord. Kapoor in particular falls short when compared to the dynamism and dramatic chops of Menen. OK Jaanu’s video game - the original’s weakest bits - looks more attractive. It sums up OK Jaanu as well. Ali brings little other than a few visual flourishes to the original. OK Jaanu is a carbon copy which lacks the emotional cadence and vigour of the original.
