Shaadi Ke Side Effects
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...a delicious take on contemporary relationships. This one's relatable, heart-warming, amusing and thoroughly enjoyable!
-
The director strikes a fine balance between humour and emotion in this slice-of-marriage story.
-
...opens on this contrived note and meanders for an over-stretched 145 minutes, full of twists and turns, that one has come to so famously associate with soaps produced by Balaji.
-
The movie was a well thought-out project. The dialogues and plot are fresh. But by the second half, the movie drags a lot.
-
The second half gets a bit heavy and stretched. But the climax saves the film.
-
Predictable and occasionally misguided, but also hopelessly fun.
-
The film is fun but shallow, nevertheless. A pity, because with a subject of this kind, the possibilities were immense.
-
...is recommended because, despite its flaws, it is passable fun while it lasts.
-
...a great rom-com gone bad. The movie still is a great watch only and only for its first half.
-
...is fun, and real, and has some nice laugh-out-loud situations which the leads make the most of.
-
...could well be the rom-com of the year only if the maker hadn't botched up the second half.
-
With a take on relationships that starts off as modern, but cops-out; it’s the humour and performances that are worth savouring.
-
...is in equal parts, enjoyable and exasperating. Pretty much like the average marriage.
-
...is a greater film on screen than it is on paper because it has the talented Mr Akhtar and Ms Balan. Both bring warmth and a mature, knowing naughtiness to their interactions.
-
A sugar-coated pill that keeps you amused as long as it lasts.
-
...started out with a lot of promise but like a talented cricketer, overburdened with sudden fame, soon died out.
-
...has gained gloss and glamourous leads but at the expense of variety of tonal consistency.
-
A shallow, even if truthful for some couples, take on marriage. Past the one-liners in the trailer, Shaadi Ke Side Effects is more-or-less stuck in a rut.
-
There is nothing more heartbreaking than watching a promising film dissipate within the acid of its own intentions.
-
...Farhan and Vidya save this film from mediocrity.
-
...displays massive potential, but never quite manages to live up to it. It tries to be too many things at once – a slice-of-life comedy, a tearjerker, commentary on marriage – without really managing to nail any one of them.
-
This is not a film, it’s a recipe for a romcom. And a very middle-class one at that.
-
...the film feels toothless, pointless, pretending to tackle real issues while really searching for the next easy punch line.
