Oh My Friend – Movie Review
Siddharth has come up with yet another youthful entertainer in the form of Oh My Friend. He has paired up with his alleged ex-girlfriend Shruti Hassan and Hansika Motwani. Let us see what his lastest film has to offer. Read on for Oh My Friend review.
Story:
The
story
is
pretty
simple.
It
is
the
friendship
story
between
a
boy
and
a
girl.
Chandu
(Siddarth)
and
Siri
(Shruti
Haasan)
are
friends
in
school
and
they
continue
their
friendship
even
after
they
grow
up.
While
Siri
acts
like
a
responsible
daughter,
Chandu
gives
troubles
to
his
parents
with
his
acts.
He
dreams
to
become
a
musician.
At
this
juncture,
Chandu
meets
Ritu
(Hansika
Motwani)
a
college
classmate.
Chandu
falls
flat
for
her
looks.
Siri
also
helps
Chandu
in
his
efforts
to
woo
Ritu.
At
the
same
time,
Siri
is
in
love
with
Navdeep,
who
is
working
in
the
US.
He
comes
to
India
and
gets
formally
engaged
to
Siri.
Meanwhile, Chandu gets an offer to perform at a music competition in Kerala and Siri, Ritu and Navdeep accompany him to Kerala. Here the friction starts as Navdeep and Ritu are jealous of the deep friendship between Siri and Chandu. They mistake the friendship to be love. Navdeep wants Siri to decide between him and her friend. Same is the case with Ritu. Even the parents of Siri and Chandu think that they are in love. How Siri and Chandu manage to resolve this problem forms the basis for the remaining part of the story.
Positive:
Siddarth,
Shruti
and
Navdeep's
performance.
Wonderful
music.
Tight
screenplay.
No
violence
and
cheap
comedy.
Negative:
Narration
is
slow.
Cliched
subject
of
father-son
difference
of
opinion.
Tame
and
predictable
ending.
Verdict:
Oh
My
friend
is
a
simple
love
story
and
also
a
story
of
friendship.
The
director
has
succeeded
in
portraying
this
in
an
effective
manner
in
the
film.
The
songs
are
good
to
listen
too
and
have
also
been
filmed
well.
The
film
is
specifically
targeted
at
the
urban
youths
and
hence
the
appeal
is
naturally
limited.
The
film
will
do
well
at
multiplexes
and
the
cities.
A neat film that can be watched by everyone but not everyone can connect with it completely!
