01Plot

In his teenage years, Ajith becomes inspired by Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa and begins to believe that love makes everything work in life. In school and later college, he falls in love and both romances with both girls end up failing. Throughout this he always has his childhood friend who thinks his obsession with love is silly. However, his obsession for love does not end. He then goes to wedding at a church and stops the bride who is walking in by saying that he loves her and tried to stop the wedding. The bride yells at him. He gets kicked out of the wedding and in the process breaks the windshield of the car. As a result, the bride's family lodges a police complaint. His father bails him and his friend out.

When his father takes him home, he asks his father to not tell his mother anything. However his father does tell his mother who yells at him. She asks his father to set Ajith with a job at his friend Xavier's matrimonial office. After arguing with his family, he finally accepts to go into work for his father's friend.

At the matrimonial office, on his first day he hears a girl (Anjali) humming on the elevator. They both get off on the same floor and he is immediately struck by her beauty. During his intro with Xavier, he is paired with Mayur who teaches him the ropes and tells him Anjali is very strict. Anjali soon becomes Ajith's nightmare and he wants to quit.

However, love eventually blossoms between the pair. The film revolves around him and his various attempts to survive in his current job, whilst navigating his humorous love for Anjali.

06Reception

Akshay Kumar of Cinema Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote "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. [...] Aaromaley succeeds in doing away with the dreaminess of love while retaining its cute and sweet parts." Anusha Sundar of OTT Play gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Aaromaley is a sweet, breezy, and comfort watch, that never overdoes its elements. There is feather-light approach in storytelling that makes it for an easy viewing. With neat performances, solid writing, and narrative laced with fun, Aaromaley makes you feel refreshing with subtle takeaways." Janani K of India Today gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Director Sarang Thiagu's 'Aaromaley', starring Kishen Das, Shivathmika and Harshath Khan, is a warm and fuzzy romantic entertainer that is all heart. Strong characterisations and realistic conversations make us look past minor shortcomings." Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "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."
