What happens

OK Jaanu (transl. OK darling) is a 2017 Indian Hindi-language musical romantic drama film directed by Shaad Ali, written by Mani Ratnam and produced by Ratnam and Karan Johar under their banners Madras Talkies and Dharma Productions respectively. A remake of Ratnam's Tamil film O Kadhal Kanmani, it stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor with a supporting cast including Naseeruddin Shah and Leela Samson, the latter of whom appeared in the original as well, marking her Hindi debut, who essay the role of the protagonists' landlords. A. R. Rahman composed the film's score and soundtrack, with Gulzar writing the lyrics and dialogues. The film was released on 13 January 2017 to mixed reviews with criticism of the chemistry of the lead pair, story, screenplay, direction, and dialogues, although the music (with the exception of one song), cinematography, and the supporting cast performances were praised.
