Critic Review
Shaadi Ke Side Effects Firstly, the premise. Sid [Farhan Akhtar] and Trisha [Vidya Balan] come to life in the sequel, now as husband and wife. Everything is fine till Trisha and Sid become proud parents. Trisha decides to give up her job, concentrating on the new-born, while Sid tries hard to balance his personal and professional life. When he realizes he can't cope up as an ideal husband, he decides to take tips from Trisha's brother-in-law [Ram Kapoor]... SHAADI KE SIDE/EFFECTS is more about rediscovering your partner, post marriage. Given the nature of the subject, there looms the risk of the film veering into a serious zone, but Saket makes sure he peppers the plot with humor and amusing episodes, so much so that you never stop smiling even when the on-screen couple have their share of problems or get into a spat over trivial issues. The fact that Saket borrows from real-life instances makes it relatable and identifiable. The connect is tremendous, with the spectator often drawing parallels with his/her life. .

Talking of the shortcomings, having way too many songs in such a serious film is not happening at all. There’s a song at every juncture, which might irritate you a bit. No complaints other than that. Our verdict: Watch Gulaab Gang for Juhi Chawla. Nu.

Towards the end, a furious Rajjo vows to take revenge. And the next scene is a typical holi song where Madhuri is brandishing her trademark smile. By the time the gun battle begins, you really cannot be bothered anymore. There are several cliches and .

Shaadi Ke Side Effects is in equal parts, enjoyable and exasperating. Pretty much like the average marriage. -.

The film then is easy and breezy, although too long at nearly two-and-a-half hours. I'm going with three out of five for 'Shaadi Ke Side Effects'. Predictable and occasionally misguided, but also hopelessly fun..

The leads make it bearable to watch, though still not a pleasure when the comedy gags aren’t going. Casting Farhan and Vidya together was a stroke of genius. If only the plot had been smart enough to match..

This film doesn't have any conflict or drama that usually makes a film interesting. Even you go for a coffee break, nothing will be missed because scenes don't move much and they are always the same. If you are a Farhan Akhtar or Vidya Balan fan, you may .

If only the makers could have thought up a better second half, this could have been a winner. While still watchable due to the novelty of Farhan and Vidya pairing up, and the everyman status of Farhan`s character that everyone can relate to, it fails to l.
