Critics Review

Flat yet Watchable for the Lightheartedness!

Sloppy start, yet the contradictions between the leads form an interesting conflict. Some delightful moments, a few worthy plot-points add to the credible setting. Humour falters big time with underwhelming payoffs and a cinematic finale that misses on the feel-good factor.(more)

Refreshingly honest rom-com with heart and humour

Aaromaley is the kind of film you'd want to watch with friends on a relaxed evening - no heavy drama, no manufactured conflict, just honest portrayals of people figuring out love. While the second half doesn't quite match the first's effortless charm and some stylistic choices feel derivative, the film's refusal to resort to melodrama or one-dimensional characters is commendable. If you're tired of over-the-top romance and yearn for something simple, sincere, and grounded, Aaromaley will leave you with a gentle smile. Sometimes, that's all you really need.(more)

A neat and unpretentious rom-com

Speaking of humour, Harshath Khan's Sachin is one of the reasons we remain engaged in the narration. His witty one-liners land more often than not. His presence kept the levity coming throughout the runtime. Aaromaley is a welcome shift in this genre, also for its treatment of both the flashback technique and past relationships. There is no toxicity involved and no weaponising of your partner's past to scorekeep. In films like this one, we would want to see more of the leads� parents. Initially, the arguments and misunderstandings in Ajith's home seem plastic. But a stellar Tulasi, who plays Ajith's mother, during an important scene in the second half, makes it all count. Beneath this sophisticated nit-picking tendency seeking new things in our films, in all honesty, we are suckers for some good old things too. Aaromaley ends, leaving a smile on your face with one such good old thing.(more)

Romantic comedy on cruise control

Aaromaley hits its marks without breaking a sweat. The romance resolves, the laughs arrive on schedule, and everyone learns their lesson about opening their hearts. It's competent enough to keep you engaged while the runtime ticks by, but there's nothing here that lingers. You'll finish it feeling pleasant and promptly forget most of what you watched.(more)
