Shaadi Ke Side Effects
There are two ways to look at this movie - first as a sequel to Pyaar Ke Side Effects wherein Mallika Sheravat and Rahul Bose morph into Vidya Baalan and Farhaan Akhtar. It took Saket Choudhary almost eight years to move ahead of "Pyaar" leading to "Shaadi" and the side effects there after. As a sequel, this movie literally moves a step ahead and keeps the audience engaged.
The other way to look at this movie is to think of it as a stand alone comedy that encompasses the nitty-gritty of daily life in a married couple's life and the ensuing drama that unfolds once the kid comes into the picture. Quite a realistic portrayal this movie has been, and I am sure for those couples who have recently become parents, this movie would appear to be an actual story of their own lives.
A power packed performance by Vidya and Farhaan, this movie keeps the audience engaged till the very end. Though for every reason the movie could have ended much before. While the first half has loads to sequences and punches tightly woven in the script, the second half appears loose and drags on for quite sometime.
The message of the movie is strong and Saket Choudhary has been quite successful in bringing that out through a mix of comic and realistic portrayals. The "me" time that men look for after marriage is actually a mirage, the closer you get to it, the farther it goes. For women too priorities change, so there's no point cribbing over trivial issues - this in essence is the mantra for a successful married life.
Overall, if you have already watched Pyaar Ke Side Effects, or if you are recently married or moreso if you recently became a parent, you cant just afford to miss this movie. Trust me ,you will come out of the theater wiser than before.
