Actually, ‘Ole Aale’ is a remake of Super hit Gujarathi film ‘Chaal Jeevi Laiye! ‘ and is directed by the same director Vipul Mehta who had directed the original film. However , the presentation part is simply superb through communicative sequences which are witnessed through the well written crisp dialogues.

Each one of them have put in their heart and soul into their respective characters.
