Performances:

Nani steals the show with his bubbly performance and his diction brought instant laughters.

Vaani Kapoor proved her mettle. In her second film and the debut Tamil film she has excelled with performance.

Other characters like Simran as wedding planner Chandralekha, Badawa Gopi as the flower vendor and others did their parts well.

Technical Analysis:

Debutante director A. Gokul Krishna is to be lauded for choice of his cast and crew, who supported him in every frame. Though the movie is passable, Gokul need to concentrate much on dialogues as they appears very normal. He has to improve his skills on narration and screenplay too.

Dharan Kumar has come up with appealing tunes for Aaha Kalyanam music album so as are his background scores for the movie. Songs look much appealing and colorful, Punch song is much likable with visuals.

Yash Raj Films has lavishly produced Band Baaja Baarat remake in South India establishling their successful production house here in Tamil and Telugu film industries.

Analysis:

Director A. Gokul Krishna has done a xerox of Band Baaja Baaraat and succeeded to max, but being very familiar Aaha Kalyanam appears boring at parts. Nani and Vaani's chemistry tickles on screen and it is one of the main reasons to go watch Aaha Kalyanam besides colorful frames.

Most of the movie is concentrated on lead pair, do there is no question on discharging from the storyline or theme. Dharan Kumar's background scores keep up to the narration pace.
