Mani ratnam is one of the creative directors who is failing since a few days. Though this is not one of his fantastic films, this is one of the very decent and a classic movie. First half is good but the second half of the movie is boring for about twenty minutes. Though the story line is new, climax is predictable and routine.

Cinematographer PC Sriram and music director AR Rahman gave life to the movie. PC Sriram’s lighting and visuals are extra ordinary and Rahman’s music elevates the romantic mood. The background music is also very good. OK Bangaram though does not reach the expectations of the audience, it is one of the watchable movies.

Highlights of the movie are AR Rahman’s music, PC Sriram’s photography, beautiful locations, Dulquer Salman and Nitya Menon’s chemistry. Minus points are story lines, routine climax and editing.

Coming to the performance of the lead pair, Dulquer Salman is one of the happening heroes in Malayalam. Nitya Menon is also a popular heroine is all south Indian languages. Chemistry between these two actors is the main strength of the movie. We cannot imagine any other actors in these characters. Young hero Nani has lent his voice for Dulquer Salman for the Telugu version and it proved a plus point for the movie. Go watch the movie to see Mani Ratnam’s romantic poem on celluloid.
