OKOK-------------Double OK(super partha!!)

Movie Review:OKOK

Oru Kal Oru Kannadi-Udhayanidhi-K,Hansika-Ok,Santhanam-Okay---Verdict-Double OK


One of the ardent fans of director Rajesh.Siva Manasula Sakthi and Boss Engira Baskaran were both massive hits.Very few directors who could
do justice to comedy and still making family entertainers.But the over-reliance on Santhanam is increasing since the first movie.SMS was both about
Jeeva and Santhanam,BEB was more about Santhanam and less about Arya and now OKOK is only about Santhanam and nothing about Udhaya.



Kudos for a producer to don a actor's hat by pumping his money into his production venture.Sports a sunglass throughout the movie including songs
for eyes are the only outlet of expressions and he brilliantly covers that.Dances pretty average and does okok comedy.Anything is less when sharing
screenspace with Santhanam.Emotions,Anger,Love all feelings are covered in the sunglass of "Saravanan".Kuthu number outside Sathyam Cinemas is one laudable
act.And great that he shared more screenspace with "Partha" who is more bankable than him though its his money in the film.

Hansika, cute,fat bubbly girl reminding of Khushboo,emotes well only when compared to Udhaya and does a decent job in songs,scenes, and chirpiness.

Sayaji Shinde,usual girl's dad role,Azhagam Perumal wasted,Saranya leveraged in her trademark comedy element.




And Partha who shoulders the entire film in his shoulders.With a debut hero and unknown heroine and worthy actors given unworthy roles, its this guy who pulls
the entire mylapore temple "theru" in his hand.Whole OK goes to this guy.Rajesh is one of the very few who pulls the best out of Santhanam.The way he acts,his scooter
and janavasa car and his ramarajan color dresses and his dance skills in songs, and his dialogues.They are the only fodder for laughter in the movie.It is said this guy
has his own lollu sabha team and discusses about dialogues every day and heard that he is much into spirituality."Fact fact",Carrom KS Ravikumar,Pondicherry modha bus tamizhan,
there are too many to relish.Santhanam is the only reason that the film is going to run.Everyone came in just for that reason and he did not disappoint.The way he emotes a dialogue of
a brahmin from mylapore and his jangiri episode,brings the theatre down.

Director Rajesh once said he would even make a movie without heroine but not without Santhanam, very true.

Great chorea and interesting locales for songs.Songs are a big drag in the movie and they slow down the pace of the movie.Steps have been thought knowing well the debut hero.
Music is OKOK and not upto the mark.We had awesome bgm from SMS from Yuvan and they are missing big time here.

All the usual elements of Rajesh movie:Guest role for Arya/Jeeva,TASMAC style comedy,Adult dialogues,larger than role for santhanam,hero's mom given good role are present in
ample amount in the movie.

First half is damn slow with two songs coming in quick succession for no reason and they put you a little bit down.Second half picks up speed thanks to "partha".

Overall-One time watch for "Partha" engira Santhanam
