"Aaha Kalyanam" Movie Review With Rating

Release date : 21 February 2014

Tollywood Junction Rating : 2.85/5

Director : Gokul Krishna

Producer : Aditya Chopra

Music Director : Dharan

Starring : Nani, Vaani Kapoor

The prestigious Yash Raj Films ventured into South Indian film production with Aaha Kalyanam. The movie is the official remake of Band Baaja Baarat. Starring the super talented Nani and Vaani Kapoor, this film is directed by debutante Gokul Krishna. Aaha Kalyanam has hit the screens today and let’s see how it is.

Story :-

Shakti(Nani) is an aimless graduate, who does not know what to do with his life. One fine day, he meets Shruthi(Vaani Kapoor) at a wedding and becomes friends with her. Shruthi is an ambitious girl, who wants to start up her own wedding planning company.

One day, Shakti’s dad urges him to come back to his village and take care of their family business. In order to avoid his dad, Shakti lies to him that he is doing wedding planning as a business. In order to make his lie a truth, he meets Shrtuhi and requests her to make him her partner in the wedding planning business.

Shakti starts pestering Shruthi, and after a lot of deliberation, she agrees to partner with Shakti. They launch a wedding planning company called Getti Melam. As time passes by, their company becomes a huge success and Getti Melam becomes the talk of the town.

One fine day when Shruthi and Shakthi are celebrating their success, a small incident changes the dynamics of their personal relationship and both part ways..

What is that incident ? What happens to their business ? Will the couple get back together ? For all these answers you need to watch this film on big screen.

Plus Points:-

If Band Baaja Baarat was both Anushka and Ranveer’s show, Aha Kalyanam is undoubtedly Nani’s show all the way. His Tapori act and the way he has carried off his character is spell binding. Not even once, does one get reminded of Ranveer Singh from the original. He has tried his best to make this film tick.

Vaani Kapoor is definitely a find, and does well for her first film down south. She had a difficult character and has carried it off well. Her chemistry with Nani is good. First half of the film is entertaining mostly because of Nani’s antics.

Songs and dances have been picturized well. One of the important romantic scenes looks good on screen and has been shot very aesthetically

Minus Points:-

After watching the trailers, all those who had an opinion that Aaha Kalyanam looked more like a Tamil film, are spot on. The entire culture, artists and set up is nothing like that of Telugu films. Though the weddings have been showcased well, they have an alien feel. The lack of Telugu nativity is felt sorely.

Second half of the film lacks emotional depth. In Band Baaja Baraat, the second is terrific and takes the film to another level. The entire second half has many dull moments and lacks the pace.

Aaha Kalyanam is a faithful copy of Band Baaja Baarat, and those who have seen the Hindi version might not like this film.

The supporting cast is yet another drawback of this film. None of the characters make an impression, as Nani is left by himself to carry the film on his shoulders. Simran’s special appearance does not impress much.

Technical Aspects:-

Aaha Kalyanam is high on technical values. As said earlier, all the weddings have been showcased colorfully. The art department has done a wonderful job in making this film look rich. Music of the film is just about OK, and only one or two songs are impressive. Background score is soothing.

Dialogues are impressive, and the ones written for Nani are hilarious. Screenplay of the film is apt in the first half, but some scenes in the second half lack clarity.

Director Gokul Krishna does not make a very good case for himself with this movie. He has just faithfully copied this film from the original.

Verdict:-

Aaha Kalyanam is a film which works partially only because of Nani’s star status and talent. Sizzling chemistry from the lead pair is a plus. But a dragged out second half with not much of emotional depth spoils the fun. You can give this film a shot only for Nani, otherwise there is nothing Aaha about it

Deepthi Ganta (Nani's Sister) About Nani's Paisa On Twitter

My take on Paisa!

Call me biased, Call me family but I have got to say what I have to say. I loved PAISA! I loved it for its absolutely brilliant characterizations and fabulous performances, I loved it for the directors vision of what the movie should be and I loved it for just being true to what it is meant to be. 

Nani playing the old city tapori is the highlight of the movie. He personified the guy that we all loved to hate. Pra'Cash' had everything that you would expect from that guy on the corner of every street in Hyderabad sporting a bike and giggling away at every girl that he comes across. That ignorant flirt who day dreams his life away imagining and wishing for the impossible. Kudos to Krishna Vamsi for not glorifying the actor into someone invincible.

Frankly, I am a big fan of Krishna Vamsi's brand of romance and that's the reason I look forward to his next movie. So, It was not what I expected but still loved the subtle love between the lead pair. It is sweet how much Pracash cares for Noor denying that he ever loved her. The movie is about the endless greed for money, you cannot expect kuchicoo romance and a song and dance number every 5 mins.

Finally to what I loved about the movie. When a movie like Paisa is conceptualized, you need to have a vision and you have to make sure that it gets through in how you bring it on to the screen. This was a movie to show the growing greed for money in all of us. The greed that spans from the guy next door to the man who rules the country. Krishna Vamsi visualized the scenes and dialogues to emphasize this and Nani enacted it like a pro. This is hands down the best acting that Nani had done to date. I might have said this for every movie but that is because he is improving himself ten fold for his every movie. I will not point out what scenes I liked the most as this review will turn into movie screenplay.

True, I did not jump up and down my chair for the entire time but thoroughly enjoyed every scene for the brilliantly written dialogues and the spontaneous performances. For those who are hesitating to say that they loved the movie because it does not fit into the "One comedy track, triangle love story, father's death Revenge" grove, I will say it for you. We loved the movie. Do read the reviews before you watch a movie but more importantly read what the guy who actually saw the movie had to say in the comments section or just talk to your friend who watched the movie and make a call.

"PAISA" Movie Review

Tollywood Junction Rating: 2.75/5

Punch Line: "Paisaye Paramathma"

Star Cast: Nani and Catherine Tresa

Director: Krishna Vamsi

Producer: Ramesh Puppala

Music: Sai Karthik

Released on: 7th feb 2014

STORY:

Prakash (Nani) who believes in "Paisaye Paramathma" works in local Sherwani ads as a model. Noor (Catherine  Tresa) a Muslim gals loves Pracash. But for his love for Cash, Nani always ignores Noor. In the meanwhile, Sanyasi Naidu - Saradhi (Bharath) competes in By-Elections in Royalapatnam. Daughter of Sanayasi Naidu Sweety (Siddhika Sharma) gets close with Pracash, seeing their closeness Noor accepts Yadav (RK)'s deal to dance as Moojara girl. To make Sanayasi Naidu lose in elections Saradhi plans to steal his 50 Crores fund from Hawala. But things turns around and Pracash gets in the middle of this operation gets out with 50 Crores saving Noor from Yadav. How will Pracash find the money? How will he manage to save 50 Crores save from four gangs. How Nani Wringgles out of the situation and mary Noor forms the rest of the storyline.

Positives :

Hero Nani is introduced in a simple way with a kite chasing scene. But Heroine Catherine’s introduction is mind-blowing. She looked gorgeous and her character is lovable. It cannot be explained here. We have to watch on the screen itself. The funny and teasing scenes between Nani and Catherine attracted much. Two songs in his movie have a melodious touch. Actor Charan Raj’s characterization is quite unique and different as a politician, especially as a Minister.

Negatives :

Even though Charan Raj has done well, but lack of a strong Villian is the main drawback of the movie. The movies with the concept of huge amounts have already been produced in the past. The same concept is applied with slight changes. Routine climax of the movie. The movie would have been much more entertaining, if Vamsi could have delivered his more strength.

Analysis:

The movie begins with collage of political scenario that is similar to prevailing conditions in our State and the politicians characters talk about in the film are so close to the leaders in our real-life. Yet you soon realize all this is a waste effort the director takes you further. The first half deals with the problems of the stellar cast and their background. However, director takes the lead character PraCASH for granted as there is no clue about his family, other miscellaneous details. The first half of the film disappoints you with Tollywood’s cliches and routine dialogues. Although the romance track between Noor and PraCASH appears to be incomplete, under current the director gives you hint that they fell for each other. It’s the only blessing in disguise.

The actual story begins after the intermission or the director make us believe so. But sudden pop up of songs, at couple of times, interrupt the flow of narration and make you fumble towards the nearest exit in theatres. Climax is okay, convincing although nothing great. On whole, the director failed to establish a strong antagonism in the subject. Too many villains confuse the viewers. Blame the writer-director for taking cops for granted. Many cops are being shot, killed indiscriminately yet everything is normal and goes as usual. Not even media interferes into wrongdoings despite ahead of by-polls.

final verdict:

‘Paisa’ is a movie that will not give you a paisa vasool experience at the Box Office. Despite some good efforts from Nani, this movie will face huge challenges at the Box Office. Poor technical values, lack of an engaging screenplay and low entertainment value will hurt the film.

Hero Nani Needs To Pay More Attention

February is going to be a very crucial month for hero Nani. The young actor has not had a release in a very long time, but that is set to change with 3 releases in a span of 4 weeks! Nani’s ‘Paisa’, ‘Jenda Pai Kapiraju’ and ‘Aaha Kalyanam’ will come out this month.
Krishna Vamsi’s ‘Paisa’ is the first movie that will hit the screens. The film is going to come out on February 7th and Catherine Tresa is the heroine. ‘Paisa’s shoot was completed a very long time ago and the release was delayed due to financial issues.
After ‘Paisa’, ‘Jenda Pai Kapiraju’ will follow on February 14th and Nani will be essaying a dual role in this action entertainer. The last film to hit the screens will be the ‘Band Baajaa Baraat’ remake, ‘Aaha Kalyanam’. This film is slated for release on February 21st.
With 3 films in 4 weeks, Nani has a good chance of getting back into the limelight this month
