Wahiyat Wednesday: Why Ok Jaanu is not okay

Time and again, Bollywood gives us that one film which wasn’t needed at all. While Masakali 2.0 has been accused of destroying the original, the Humma Humma remake in Ok Jaanu didn’t do wonders either. For example, Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta’s Salaam Namaste, Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s Two States, and Sushant Singh Rajput and Parineeti Chopra’s Shuddh Desi Romance, to name a few. In the year 2017, you don’t expect the lead actress to say things like ‘Itni raat ko koi shareef ladki phone nahi karti kisi ladke ko’ or acting aloof as the guy pursues her. She initially acts pricey when Adi approaches her and often wonders ‘Ye jo hum kar rahe hain ye sahi hai na?’ Yep, roll your eyes.
