But anything presented fresh is fresh. The movie is neither boring nor old. It indeed has some ticks and tacks. 

2) DQ and Nithya doesn't make a good couple !

Yea, I dont find Nithya and DQ making up a good pair. Maybe that's one of my personal opinions, but I do find them mismatched. The romance built up between them doesn't seem to touch the hearts, not at least mine. A better casting would have increased the movie's mileage to a better extend for sure. DQ seems to be too young in front of Nithya. I cant digest it :P

3) Not a stereotyped commercial flick !

The movie is definitely not a stereotyped commercial flick where the hero has a six pack, fights the goons, sings a few songs, lifts up his girl and goes through a wild chase and finally snatches her from everyone else. He doesn't let the romance blind him. Or maybe the movie itself doesn't. The family, the job, the world around; everything is given its true value. And because of all this, the movie isn't a very smooth and happily sliding romantic story man ! You gotta sit stressed, worried and sad in the movie hall. Why pay to be sad? 

4) So many songs and a single musical treat  !

Nevertheless, the songs of the movie have been into the buzz long before being launched. AR Rahman's magical fingers has proved the best once again. Rahman has done a great job as always. Even if you are bored with the movie's script, the songs can definitely tie you up to the seats. It is not just one or two, there are more than five Rahman creations. What more do you expect?

5) Where is the moral police? Gosh! They are living together !

Haha, the moral police will have to hold protests in all the theaters showing the movie. They are living together and how can the moral police of our country close their eyes upon it? Let us at least boycott the movie man :P 

From all the 5 things I have pulled up, you might have definitely figured out one thing, OK Kanmani is not a bad choice to watch at all. All the 5 things that we've mentioned are silly and is no reason to avoid such a wonderful Mani Ratnam magic. In fact they are solid reasons to watch this wonderful piece of art. Head on to your nearest movie space and watch it ;)

The director weaves a sentimental back story to account for this behaviour.

Some amount of laughter and chuckles arise out of this situation, but not enough to sustain a two-and-a-half hour movie. Most of the funny parts of this movie are fresh and innovative but jokes alone cannot sustain a movie. But this has played a vital role in not letting the movie go down beyond average. 

Nayanthara is the just-past-her prime leading lady, a single mother and a working parent.

The director tries to tell the story of a conventional romance with the leading pair being an older couple whose children make the effort to unite them.

Nayanthara is brought back to life from death halfway and the story-line also has some kind of random adventures stuffed into it. Being a come back movie for the actress, nothing seems to emphasized here. Neither she shows off her acting skills nor gets to play an important role. 

As for the two child artists, Master Sanoop and Baby Anikha, one can only feel sorry for them. They carry the burden of this film, which is much heavier than their school bags.

And one wonders how Telugu actor Chakravarthy was roped in to play the main villain in this lacklustre film.
