Vasu (Nithin) comes from joint family and he falls in love with Sree (Raashi Khanna). Raashi’s father is a big businessman and he values time well and doesn't believe in human relationships. Vasu is a noble youngster and a strict follower of Telugu traditions and values. Rest of the story is all about the knowledge transfer Vasu does to Sree’s father. 
Actors: Nithin suited the ‘manchi baludu’ very well. It’s a single dimensional character and he doesn’t have much to do. Raashi Khanna looks charming and does well. Nandita Swetha plays a vital character and is good in scenes the latter part of the film. Prakash Raj’s character is in expected lines and he did a fantastic job in a few scenes with his nuances. PJayasudha is excellent in the role of granny. Rajendra Prasad and Naresh are alright. Ajay is wasted in an insignificant role. 
Technical departments
Other departments: Music scored by Mickey J Meyer is traditionally rich and I loved the wedding song sung by SPB. Cinematography by Sameer Reddy is good. Since it is a film on wedding, the visuals are very eye-catchy with pleasing colors. Dialogues are good, especially the ones that explain the reason behind each step leading to wedding. Art direction is good. Editing is alright. Production values are grand.
Analysis: A human being is supposed to have all kinds of emotions and grey shades. The character of hero in this film is flawless, hence there is no scope for drama/conflict in the story. He keeps explaining about traditions and values to the people around throughout the film. Srinivasa Kalyanam is the kind of film that’s full of noble characters. It’s rich in values and traditions. But lacks an engaging drama. The success of the film depends on how family crowds embrace it.
