Plot

Subramaniam (Prabhu), an ayurvedic physician, is a much-respected man in his village. His only daughter Anitha (Monica) returns home from Chennai after completing a course in fashion designing. Having lost her mother at a very young age, Anitha is close to her father, and they share a special bond. Soon, Anitha's marriage is fixed with Elango (Aravind Akash), the son of Vedachalam (Cochin Haneefa). While Vedachalam is a good-for-nothing chap, Elango is a perfect match. Elango falls in love with Anitha, but she tells him of her past: her lover Akash (Navdeep), who had jilted her after a one-night stand. Elango, though shattered, meets Akash and tries to unite him with Anitha. In this attempt, he finds himself falling in love with Anitha's cousin Eeswari (Saranya Mohan). Now the story is about uniting the two pairs of lovers. Anitha does not want to hurt her father with the knowledge of her past.

Some numbers are passable, while others are down-right boring". [6] Milliblog wrote "A aa e ee is a middling soundtrack from the Nakka mukka man". [7] Behindwoods wrote "Vijay Antony has employed creative musical idioms in this album. The sound mixing is good!". [8]

Release and reception

The film was originally slated to release on 18 December 2008 but got postponed and released on 9 January 2009. [9] [10]

Times of India wrote "If only the director had trimmed the first few minutes where Prabhu 'hardsells' ayurveda, had one song less, and shortened the build up to the climax, the occasional drag could have been avoided". [11] Behindwoods wrote "Imagine those drag sitcoms they used to telecast on national television, especially the ones that are made in less-than-a-shoe-string’s budget and happen mostly in a single room with the help of set props to depict different locations? We didn’t find ‘A Aa E Ee’ any different from those sitcoms and the movie was nightmarishly reminiscent of those excruciatingly boring, no-other-choice days". [12] Indiaglitz wrote "If you can forgive thee first ten minutes of the movie, 'A AA E EE' is worth a watch. A florid bouquet can be given to Sabhapathy, for his guts to make a movie sans any hero worship or vulgar comedies". [13] Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff wrote "For a feel-good comedy, this one falls remarkably flat". [14] Mythily Ramachandran of Nowrunning wrote "There are moments when the film sags, but if you have a penchant for clean family drama, this one could be straight up your alley". [15]
