Reception
[edit]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."[11] 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."[12] 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."[13] 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."[14]
