OK OK - MyView

OK OK - Oru Kal Oru Kannadi

Another comedy ha-trick from director Rajesh.

Expectation for this movie was too high because of two pupil 1) Santhanam 2) Rajesh
And I should say both of them has enough entertainment for the audience, and preserved the hope on them.

I got a Himalayan doubt on Udhayanidhi after looking at his half-baked acting in his introduction shot. Then later he trying to stabilize it in the due course of movie. Major turn-off for him is his eyes. He looks OK when he wears sunglasses.

There was huge applause and whistle for Santhanam's entry(they didnt do it for the hero :p) He steals the show during his presence in the screen.

Conversation between Udhayanithi and Santhanam is the major part of movie. And most of the time they give laughter.

Nothing special to mention about Hansika. She does a very average performance.

Screenplay style is same as that of BOSS (a) Baskaran. One thing I wonder about Rajesh is that the story he handle is the same old recipe but still he adds some magic ingredient to make it presentable and enjoyable.

But to mention that even a very liked dish can bore you at some point of time. And I guess his style of movies are reaching saturation. He should change it or else would stay back in the race. Because in few of the scene you could guess the next frame.

Songs were already reached us to some extent. Harris has re-composed his own tunes shuffling tune notes here and there from his past tunes. It was still good to hear like we get snacks from road side shop cooked with re-heated oil.

But to mention choreography has ruined that little taste too. Not to blame the choreographers they would have hard time teaching these folks. Fact is the dance do look like some nursery school stage program with simple steps that too with out co-ordination.

One thing to object (or should say condemn) in the movie is, there is set of sequences in which they make fun of a girl, who is not so pretty. Such kind of discrimination should not be encouraged in mass media.

OKOK is Just OK....

3 - MyView

The very expected, kolaveri fame, media hyped movie, despite I heard mixed comments I dared to watch the movie. That too a night show.

First of all there were THREE things to be appreciated in the movie. 1) Dhanush's performance 2) Shruthi's performance 3) Background music.

Dhanush is getting refined in his acting skills and its evident in this movie.  More surprising was Shruthi's expressions and her performance. I hope we all seen her in 7am arivu. She has improved 100% from there. School uniform well suited for both Dhanush and Shruthi very well.

Sivakarthikeyan helps to keep the story plot and audience minds loose for a heavy second half.

During first half the screen is blazed with Shruthi's glazing appearance and performance. And in second half Dhanush steals the show with his action. In the climax last 10 mins is only dependent on his performance[not even a dialogue].


Songs, we have heard enough. Anirudh has got some potential and need to choose good projects in future to sustain.Chords and brass section in RR were really good and dwells well with the screen.

Kolaveri song's choreography is below the mark. And it didn't stand up to the expectation, to be frank.

Despite lot of good technicians the second half makes feel that something is missing. There were lot of lengthy shots where editor tried giving good transition cuts but still its lengthy. The silence BGM was powerful for a while but soon after gives yawning :(  Prabhu who plays the father of Dhanush always keep sitting in his home office.

There were other minor gaps, But Director Aishwarya to be very much appreciated for the  bold step for creating a romantic thriller. And wish her more success.

Dhanush, for him a psychopath character is a easy job but still the justification was missing. As usual when a psycho therapy doctor explains the disorder, the scene doesn't transfer the seriousness to audience. But still Dhanush's acting has tried to seal it.

Critical response from the audience is obvious for such a critical story plot. But I really don't know why they named the movie '3'.
