Story: Srinivas(Udayanidhi
Stalin) is a happy-go-lucky youth and Bangarraju(santanam) are friends who work
for a multiplex in Vizag. Srinivas happens to see Meera(Hansika) at a traffic
signal and falls for her charm instantly. He follows her and expresses his love
but she is not interested, how he encounters it with his friend and what does
he plans to make her fall in love is the remaining story.
Performances: Udayanidhi
is okay, he has to concentrate more on his body language and dances if he wants
to act in more films. Santanam is at his all time best with good lines. Hansika
is beautiful and performed well. Saranaya impresses in her scenes. The
remaining cast suited well. Cinematography is good. The art work and editing
are okay. Muisc by Harris Jayraj is Average with a couple of catchy numbers.
The story is simple, the screenplay is interesting and the direction is good in
few scenes.
Analysis: Udayanidhi
is okay and represents the present day youth who runs after girls. Udayanidhi (The
producer turned actor) who made a cameo in Ghatikudu(Surya, Nayanatara), appears
in the end of the film along with K.S.Ravikumar tried his hand as hero also. Hansika
is beautiful with chubby looks; she has put on a lot of weight and looked odd
in some costumes. Santanam has done a very good job. He has given his all time
best with perfect comedy timing. Santanam is the saving grace with witty punch
lines. Sunil has dubbed his voice in Telugu version. Initially it appeared that
it’s a mismatch but later the timing is so good that you start enjoying. Sunil
has done decent job.
Art work and Editing are okay. The cinematography by
Balasubramanyam is good. All the frames looked rich. Music by Harrish Jayraj is
okay, “Vaddu raa” and “Akila Akila” are foot tapping numbers. The Background
score is good. The story of the film is wafer thin. The way it’s narrated is
good. There are some repetitive scenes but can be ignored.
The
Director Rajesh has come up with yet another film which revolves around love
and friendship. All the movies(Siva Manasula Shakti- remade in Telugu as SMS,
Boss Engira Bhaskaran- dubbed in Telugu as “Nene Ambani Aru Nelallo”) of Rajesh
have common elements, Hero-Heroine have clash in their love thread, hero has a
friend who delivers punch dialogues and becomes a fool in the end. Rajesh and Santanam
combination rocks once again. Hero-Heroine ego problems have become repetitive
in Rajesh films.
Tamil Hero ‘Arya’
and ‘Andrea’ made brief appearances in the climax. The flight scene where Sneha
was seen in a cameo was edited in the Telugu version. There are limited
characters in the film which may bore you at times. Saranya impresses once
again in her scenes. All the scenes of Santanam and Udayanidhi are
entertaining. The story narration scene on the stage towards the climax is
good. There are many scenes which are predictable and nonsensical but make you
sit all through. There is no big story in Ok Ok but the way its packaged
entertains you.
The movie is targeted at youth Audience and it may go well
if received by them.
