An era of remaking area turning to be more vivid amongst Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada movies…. On those aspects, here goes a Telugu film ‘Chandamama’ being remade in Tamil. Precisely, the title of the film ‘A AA E EE’ itself seems to be innovative. As everyone guessed about the uniqueness of this title? Director Sabapathy reveals it with the intro titles. The leading four characters in the film have their names starting with A AA E EE (first four alphabets of Tamil).

A good-hearted and well respected man is Vedhachalam (Prabhu) who lives for the well being of his village people. Of course, he’s a good father and all his affections has drawn to none other than Anitha (Monika). Completing her studies from Chennai, she arrives to the town and much delighted father has one reason to worry. Yeah! It’s about getting her married as the family members insist so. Getting to analyze all the young men, he finally zeroes down on Ilango (Aravind). With engagement being fixed between these two, Ilango is all excited and starts dreaming about his marriage. Later, he is urged into pits of shock when Anitha reveals her affair with Aakash (Navdeep) during her studies in Chennai. It’s furthermore aggravating to hear that she has dated and got cheated by him and its all end to Ilango’s dream.

All that he does is fleeting to Chennai and catching hold of Aakash and gets to know that he had played pranks. Getting back to village, both Anitha and Aakash get united and Ilango while Anitha’s cousin sister Eeswari (Saranya Mohan) is attracted towards this good-will man.

But, marriages are already fixed between crossed pair and that leads to complete confusion. Now these young lads and missies try eloping from their families and get married.

Rest of the film is about emotions and sentiments playing its role and settling things amicably.

Director Sabapathy tries his level best on entertaining the viewers while there are certain irritating vistas. Aravind and Navdeep brim with decent efforts while Saranya Mohan adds to the humor part as she performed in ‘Yaaradi Nee Mohini’. Monika is up with the same performance and nothing special from her. Prabhu scores the best with his top-notching act and it’s a great comeback for the actor. Manorama, the legend is up to her over the top show while Haneefa adds to the comical sequences. Ganja Karuppu’s portion could’ve been avoided for the film.

Technical aspects are major drawback as they aren’t of enhanced quality. Be it musical score by Vijay Antony or cinematography by Arul Doss aren’t so captivating. Except ‘Mena Miniki’ nothing is catchy on tunes…

As a whole, ‘A AA E E’ would do better if released somewhere latter when big releases aren’t lined up. With ‘Villu’ and ‘Padikadhavan’ slated for big release, the film has less probabilities are catching everyone’s interest.

Verdict: Better-watch it once
