The first trailer of the Tamil romantic drama was just released and we glad to have Mani Ratnam back in the game!
15 years ago, Mani Ratnam made his last romantic drama Alaipayuthey with R Madhavan which was later remade in Bollywood as Saathiya featuring Rani Mukerji and Vivek Oberoi. Both Alaipayuthey and Saathiya went on to be good commercial hits! And after the 15 year hiatus Mani Ratnam is back with yet another romantic drama titled OK Kanmani featuring Dulquer Salmaan and Nithya Menen!
The first trailer of the film looks great and both the lead actors look promising as Adi and Tara! It has already crossed 2 lakh views on YouTube! As I saw the trailer I realised that it is quite similar to bits and pieces from Yuva and Saathiya. The train sequence where Adi and Tara see each other is similar to Vivek and Rani’s characters crossing paths in Saathiya. The way Adi follows Tara around everywhere is quite similar to how Vivek and Rani’s romance begins in the Yash Raj Films production.
Coming to similarities with Yuva, there are moments in the trailer which will instantly take you back to the Anjaana Anjaani song sequence from the Kareena Kapoor Khan- Vivek Oberoi starrer.
If Mani Ratnam’s past record is anything to go by, OK Kanmani will be a sweet romantic film which will linger with the audiences for a long time. The music is by A.R. Rahman and from whatever little of it is in the trailer, I can tell that it would be really good!
Eagerly waiting to watch this Tamil film in the theatres. Take a look at OK Kanmani’s trailer here and tell me if you find the similarities too!
