When Sakthi and Shruti began working together, they swore not to mix finance with romance and that there will be no room for love in their relationship. But that rule gets overridden when an incident which brings them intimately close. Subsequently, Shruti falls in love with Sakthi, who is worried that he has broken her trust, and, therefore, tries to avoid her. When Shruti comes to learn that Sakthi is avoiding her for reasons she fails to understand, she kicks him out of the company, triggering off rivalry between them.
The problem with most Indian remakes is that they try to live up to the standards of the original, when ideally they should be concerned about the reaction of the audience. In its attempt to recreate the original for Tamil audience, "Aaha Kalyanam" merely reproduces scenes from the former with a different cast. Even with a new cast, some scenes of the film give you the feeling of watching the Tamil dubbed version of "Band Baaja Baaraat".
The only likable aspect of "Aaha Kalyanam" is the wedding sequences, which reek of colour and southern flavour, breathing life into the film.
Although the music is passable, one song in particular stands out for bringing out more than 20 wedding cultures to perfection. These are some of the best moments of the film you even remember long after walking out of the theatre. But again, most of the wedding is portrayed through songs and you seldom get to experience the joy of wedding through the characters.
