Shree Karthick’s ‘Oke Oka Jeevitham’ / ‘Kanam’, with Sharwanand and Amala Akkineni, is a beautifully written time-travel drama

Spoilers ahead…

Shree Karthick’s time-travel drama is interestingly titled. In Telugu, it is called , which can be extrapolated to mean we have only one life, life, to live. In Tamil, the film is called Kanam, which means , as in: this present moment is all we have. The theme in other words, is time, and what better way to understand how time affects us than through a time machine, which allows us to revisit the past… or see the future. Like the Dhanush character in , Aadhi (Sharwanand) is someone who wants to go back to a time before his mother’s death changed his life forever. But he cannot – at least, not until he gets access to that time machine. So he sits around with his friends with a perennially mopey face. These friends are also his roomies. They are played by Vennela Kishore and Priyadarshi in the Telugu version, and by Sathish and Ramesh Thilak in Tamil.
