Story:
The movie is all about a partnership relation in a business between a girl and a young man. Sruthi (Vani Kapoor) is an aspiring wedding planner who joins with Chandralekha (Simran), a popular wedding planner in the city. Shakti (Nani) also joins Sruthi.

They grow very big in the business but their partnership suffers and they break up. What happens next is the story.
Performances:
The performances are what hold the movie together, ensuring it doesn't fall dunk shot on flimsy plot. Nani takes the cake here. The actor manages to quite convincingly pull off the role of a Tapori character especially will make you laugh with his broken English. Bollywood actress Vani Kapoor is pretty in her looks and does an okay job.
Simran acted in a film after a gap of few years. She played the role of Chandra a top wedding planner and justified her character. Rest of the characters are okay in their respective roles. Technicalities: Dialogues of Rajiv Rajaram have wide ranged flavor in
them. There are mass dialogues as well as some sensible comedy ones. Photography by Loganathan Srinivasan is good. There are few jumps in the editing of the film in a couple of scenes.
Technical Departments:
Aaha Kalyanam is a romantic comedy movie with a high entertainment quotient. Nani and Vani Kapoor's performances are the main attractions in the film. Gokul Krishna's direction, Habib Faizal's engrossing screenplay, Rajiv Rajaram's witty dialogues, Dharan Kumar's music, Loganathan Srinivasan's cinematography, colourful costumes and art direction and beautiful locales are its other attractions.
Analysis:
Though Nandini Reddy's 'Jabardasth' was made as a freemake of Band Baja Baraat, now 'Aha Kalyanam' should be understood as official remake. No big difference other than that.
This is not just a remake of Hindi film 'Band Baja Barat' but also a dubbed version of Tamil film. Hence the nativity is missed but the emotions are placed reasonably commendable. But that alone is not sufficient for a romantic comedy.
There is little romance and less comedy in this. Its more like a film on business partnership though lust, love and possessiveness are blended in it. There is ample space in the line to make it a humorous treat along with maintaining emotions. But that's missing.
And the best part is it's crisp and second drag doesn't drag. Looking at the response of audience in theatres, it appears that it works better when it comes on TV than on bigger screen.
Final Word: Overall, Aaha Kalyanam is good comedy entertainer, which members of family can watch together.
