Oh Manapenne

The film is a worthy remake that is as charming and delightful. Good direction and Harish performance is great. Super hit and fantastic. Don't miss the faithful entertainer.

It's a usual love story but with a brilliant script. Movie wasn't lagging at any time. You know what's going to happen but you will enjoy watching every minute of it. Very nice.

This film might be a turn point in Harish Kalyan's career. A good Romantic Comedy film. Such a great remake and Songs and BGM were good. I gave 9/10 because the scenes between Bodhai Kaname song and climax were boring. Other scenes were nice and Anbuthasan's role was nice and good to see Venu Aravind as a comedian.

From the first scene itself, you can easily guess the climax of the movie, but what makes this movie interesting is it's good screenplay and storytelling and beautiful visuals.

Priya looks gorgeous in every scene and has scored well in acting too, Harish & Anish Kuruvilla too has done really well.

Although some of the comedy scenes were very good, there are too many drinking scenes, which could have been better avoided. This aspect makes the film unsuitable for family audiences.

Although message of the movie - "Follow your heart" has been portrayed in many movies, light weight approach of this movie makes it different. If they have avoided those drinking scenes, it would have even collected good amount of money in theatres.

Oh Manapenne is a film that is perfectly made for the OTT platform - which would otherwise be a TV Series or a YouTube short film.

No twists/turns, no complex narratives, no swirling cameras, the film is as linear as a line, plain and not so compelling. Yawning will take an active part while you are watching this film. There will neither be any reason for the characters to do what they do nor any explanation be provided by the narrative.

The comedy falls flat, acting is so synthetic and dubbing is awful. Although, the film is well made for what it's worth. We feel a sense of relief by the end of the film.

Yawning, Vetrri.
