The start is promising. Later its all confusing and then its ends with a big WTF... A struggling musician marries a well settled working woman. An ingredients for a serious movie. Instead it looks like dish supposed to a Biryani...turns out to be a Khichdi. How the hell did this struggling musician afford to go to exotic foreign locations with his girlfriend and also propose her with a big solitaire while in a hot air balloon? The wife's profession is not known. They lead a luxurious lifestyle. They even hire a 15000 Rupees nanny while the wife is not working. Though, through out the film its about the male leads struggle. Defies logic. The support acts were like playing kabaddi...they come and go at the drop of a popcorn. The main issues portrayed are genuine but the story really lags in dealing with them. Not to waste money on this. If you really want to watch this, wait for it come on a movie channel.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects Review (By Me); most marriage movies don't go into dept of what goes on beside closed doors, but Shaadi Ke Side Effects does. when you put actors like Farhan Akhtar & Vidaya Balan on screen together it's just makes the whole film even better. As they portray their roles as husband and wife it was nailed! SKSE shows you the fun & serious parts of marriage, which everyone should know exists. marriage is about having fun and loving each other but what happens when your not ready for more responsibility like a baby or another car?? what if all you wanna do is have fun with the marriage?? SKSE takes you there and shows your the outcome of what marriages are like with lies and betrayal. FA & VB have done such an excellent job of making the audience understand that there is such a thing a love forgiveness & understanding. the funny moments of the film will make you laugh like crazy and the serious parts will have you think either is that how I feel or am u ready for marriage? Awesome movie altogether .

When you have two epitome of Bollywood talents - Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan in one film, the expectation soars high. Shaadi Ke Side Effects is hilarious, ravishing and refreshing.Sid is a struggling musician who is married to Trisha. All hell break loose on Sid when Trisha announces her pregnancy news. As they welcome the new member in the family, Sid's life becomes monotonous and boring with sense of failure and insecurities as he must find a way to cope up the daily problems.Sequel to fun-loving Pyaar Ke Side Effects, Shaadi Ke Side Effects is a humorous way of describing the daily issues one faces in married life. The first half is outstanding and few scenes like sleeping habits of Sid, being the best father in children's birthday parties are surely going to bring down the house. Second half is melodramatic but does not get overboard. Hats off to Saket Chaudhary for doing fine job as director. Screenplay is tight. Cinematography is exceptional. Dialogues are funny. Art direction is nice. Songs are good. Farhan Akhtar delivers again. This is second film in which he plays a comic role and is absolutely stunning. Vidya Balan is enthralling playing the role of a house wife with aplomb. Ram Kapoor is dependable along with Vir Das.Shaadi Ke Side effects is a welcome change for audience with stupendous performances, nice songs and funny scenes. Excellent 4.5/5www.facebook.com/FilmyChowk

I don't understand the fuss surrounding the movie, considering how it's probably one of the better scripts and execution of comedy I've seen in Bollywood in recent times. I had watched this is a fully booked theater and from the roars of laughter and clapping, I can assure you that 'Shaadi Ke Side Effects' is worth at least a one time watch.Farhan and Vidya play a married couple (Sid and Trisha) who complement each other and are a breath of fresh air. (Definitely a break from seeing much older actors romancing heroines who could very much be their daughters.) The "unconventional" pairing plays out lovely on screen and needless to say, both actors nailed their respective roles with such conviction. Farhan's comic timing and delivery of witty dialogue has again ascertain his strength as an actor (amongst his ever growing list!) and Vidya's subtle portrayal of a urban woman struggling to be a new mother is remarkable.Saket Chaudhary's hilarious take on parenthood and painful truth of life after marriage is well-balanced with all-too-familiar scenarios of both "the good" and "the bad". While this uni-sided film is written in a male's perspective, we do get to see Trisha's woes as a wife/mother, too.The second half of the movie seems a tad draggy with some unnecessary parts but the film manages to pick up its pace at the climax. The twist is certainly unexpected and gets you wondering how the movie is set to end. (I actually did like the ingenious ending, too.)It's possible that audiences who didn't quite like the movie had much higher expectations of Farhan and Vidya for they are actors who have done quite "serious" films in the past. However, do keep in mind that 'Shaadi Ke Side Effects' is a light-hearted comedy that invariably takes you on a quirky ride while occasionally tapping on the seriousness of marriage. I'd recommend this relatable film to anyone who's in the mood for some laughs!
