Aaha Kalyanam

Story:

A. Gokul Krishna, a novice, directed the 2014 romantic comedy Aaha Kalyanam, which Aditya Chopra’s Yash Raj Films produced. The movie, which stars Simran, Nani, and Vaani Kapoor, is a remake of Maneesh Sharma’s 2010 Hindi blockbuster Band Baaja Baaraat. Although a bilingual release was intended, the film was entirely shot in Tamil, and both the Tamil and Telugu versions were simultaneously released. The movie opened in theaters everywhere on February 21, 2014.

Shakthi, a street-smart and fun-loving guy, attends a wedding where he encounters Shruti, an intelligent and quirky woman assisting the wedding coordinator. Shruti suspects Shakthi of gatecrashing to eat for free, but he convinces her that he’s part of the film crew. Intrigued by Shruti’s dance at the wedding, Shakthi records a video of her routine and tracks her down the next day. However, Shruti reveals her ambition of starting her own wedding planning business, showing no interest in Shakthi’s advances.

Both Shakthi and Shruti face familial pressures—Shakthi is urged to return to his village and work in the sugarcane fields, while Shruti’s family wants her to get married soon. Shruti makes a deal with her parents to focus on her exams and take five years to establish her business before marriage. When Shakthi’s father arrives to take him back, Shakthi lies about starting a wedding planning business and stays with Shruti. Despite promising no romantic complications, Shruti rejects his advances.
