Film: "Ok Jaanu"; Director: Shaad Ali; Cast: Aditya Roy Kapur, Shraddha Kapoor, Leela Samson, Naseeruddin Shah; Rating: ** A Gen-Y girl and boy meet, are physically attracted, become friends, live-in together, sans any commitment, then eventually fall in love and get married. Familiar? Extremely. Trite, oft-seen and offering nothing new. That in a nutshell, is what Shaad Ali's "OK Jaanu" is. Adi (Aditya Roy Kapur), a fun-loving, small town guy who creates video games, aspires to make it big and settle down in the US but does not believe in marriage. Tara (Shraddha Kapoor), a girl from a broken home who abhors the institution of marriage, is studying architecture and hopes to pursue further studies in Paris. They meet by chance and are attracted instantly and become friends. Living-in together where neither of them can "haq jutao" on the other, is their convenient arrangement. They are happy together, partying, going on long drives and yes, even sleeping together.
