Shourya (Naga Shourya) is a game developer and his aim is to start a million dollar company. But his grandmother’s wish is to get him married as soon as possible. Divya (Malavika Nair) is a bright medical student. Her orthodox father wants to marry her off. Elders fix marriage of Shourya and Divya to each other. But they say no because they don’t want to get married. Later Shourya comes up with a plan so that they can marry and apply divorce. Both of them comes to an internal agreement and gives a go ahead to their parents. Rest of the story is all about what happens after marriage. 
Actors: Naga Shourya has done a role with lot of weight in the film and he justifies. Malavika Nair is pretty natural with her work. Raasi has done the role of placid wife. Aishwarya does an innocent mother’s role. Her voice is pretty odd. Raj Madhiraj is competent as the father of hero. Anand is adequate as stern man. Pragathi does well with a funny accent and posh looks as a matrimony lady. Among the small characters, Gemini Suresh impresses with his dialect. 
Story - screenplay - direction: Story of the film is about a boy and girl going for an artificial marriage with an internal agreements to divorce quickly. This kind of story is not touched often in Telugu films. A film of this type should be trendy and contemporary to make it interesting. But, director Nandini Reddy came up with predictable screenplay and familiar scenes. She has tilted towards family orientation while treating the film. Emotions (regarding parents angst) are dealt well towards climax. The punjabi family thread in second half is uninteresting. The concept heroine getting jealous by looking at hero with a hot girl is an age-old formula. 
Other departments: Cinematography by GVS Raju is alright. Wedding song scored by Kalyan Koduri is good. Background music is okay. Dialogue about sanctity wedding (mouthed by Anand in pre-climax) is well written by Lakshmi Bhoopal, but there are too many dialogues in the film by making it verbose. Editing is okay. Production values are fine, but we expect slickness and vibrancy in visuals for a film of this nature.
Analysis: Kalyana Vaibhogame is a film that explains the sanctity of marriage.. Novelty and freshness are the order of the day. Plus points of the film are novel story and actors performances. On the flip side, slow-paced narration coupled with predictable screenplay and excessive dialogues makes the movie sluggish. The success of the film depends on the patronage of family crowds.
