Plot of the movie
Letterboxd describes the movie as:
Ajith, a romantic dreamer faces reality when forced to work at a matchmaking agency under Anjali, a pragmatic, grounded woman, devoid of dreamy illusions. Their conflicting ideologies become the foundation of a relationship that’s as charming as it is unfiltered.
My review of Aaromaley
First movie of 2026! I have a soft spot and a low threshold for romcoms. I ended up liking this one. It’s not perfect and there are definitely flaws. The writing, especially after the fallout between the lead pair, could have been stronger. Her backstory deserved more depth, and the friendship between the lead and Sachin had so much potential that was left unexplored. Overall, the writing feels a bit superficial.
That said, in today’s Indian movie landscape, where most films are either chasing the next Pushpa or Salaar, or delivering cringy romcoms like Telusu Kada – this film felt like a breath of fresh air. Imperfect, but enjoyable nonetheless.
It is available on JioHotstar to stream in India and Hulu elsewhere. Happy New Year everyone!
