Their most successful film to date was with each other, Aashiqui 2, and they've kept the flame alive. It's surprising then how compatible they are on the big screen. Shraddha on the other hand is neither good nor bad there isn't much to complain about and she is charming in parts. He has an unassuming and pleasant personality that begs to be liked. Fortunately for Aditya he comes across as an appealing individual. Neither Aditya Roy Kapur who plays Adi nor Shraddha Kapoor who portrays Tara can be considered a good actor. The four share a house and a very sweet bond which makes the movie watchable for the most part. Where we have this supposedly contemporary couple exploring love and life we also have an older couple who shows us that love isn't dead and marriage does work. Yet the movie is still quite entertaining. They fall in love (shocking!) and decide to live together until duty calls. We've heard that before in practically every rom-com that's ever existed. Both are open to a relationship but vehemently opposed to the concept of marriage (as clichéd young people should be). OK Jaanu follows two unsurprising but genuine characters, Adi and Tara, who come to Mumbai to pursue their careers they consider the city to be a stepping stone before they venture out into the world.
Since I fall in the former category I enjoyed this as a new movie well as new as rom-coms can be.
The film is a remake of the Tamil hit 'OK Kanmani' and is apparently a scene for scene replica of the original which I'm sure is great for audiences who haven't seen the Tamil version but a bit redundant for those who have. 'OK Jaanu' is a quintessential romantic comedy with a lingering soundtrack. Can two non-actors make a decent movie? Evidently they can.
