What 7 critics are saying

Critical reception for A Aa is largely positive, with most reviewers recognizing it as a wholesome family entertainer elevated by Trivikram Srinivas's writing style and characterizations. Performances from Nithin and Samantha, along with the cinematography, drew consistent praise across reviews. The film's familiar, old-fashioned story was noted by several critics as a limitation, and at least one reviewer found the music underwhelming and lacking lasting impact.

    A Aa has a very good plot and Trivikram executed it well without getting too much melodramatic. His style of presentation and characterizations will keep you entertained despite the lack of so called masala elements. A Aa is a wholesome entertainer that can be enjoyed with your whole family. It is a perfect summer film that gives your ticket's worth of entertainment.

    Even though, it is a regular story, Trivikram made a successful attempt with his own style of entertaining the audience. Overall, it is a good entertainment film which has hit the theatres in the recent times.

    With 'A Aa', Trivikram presents a romantic drama that has better writing, good performances, and some nice family moments. Nithin and Samantha shine through in this movie. Though it is inspired by Vijaya Nirmala's 'Meena', Trivikram comes up with his own mark with terrific cinematography and good music.

    We get to see some great visuals from the lens of Natarajan Subramanian and Dudley. It looks very colorful setting the mood of the film right. Mickey J Meyer's songs are passable and could have been better. None of the songs actually leave an impact and it is mostly saved by the flashy visuals. Verdict: A decent sugarcoated family drama!
