Ram Kapoor advises him to tell white lies and carve some time and space for him so Sid starts living a double life — half the time, he’s a family man and the rest of the time, he pretends to be single dude.

Music: The music is already a hit and the numbers are already on the dancing playlist. The music of the film is composed by is Pritam Chakraborty and the lyrist are by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Harry’s not a Brahmachari is a funky fusion of folk and techno music, along with some rap by Ishq Bector. The singers are Jazzy B, Divya Kumar. I’m Sorry Par Tumse Pyaar Ho Gaya is  a romantic number sung by Nikhil Paul George and Neeti Mohan. Tauba Main Vyaah Karke Pachtaya sung by Shahid Mallya, Poorvi Koutish and Alam Gir Khan is a popular number. Overall the music of the film is very peppy and catchy.

Why to watch Shaadi Ke Side Effects: The dialogues of the movie are funny and one can relate to it. Farhan as expected has acted really well and the situations too are hilarious. The chemistry between Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan is awesome.

Why not to watch Shaadi ke side effects: The movie is a bit overstretched and attempts to test your patience on many occasions like when Sid forgets that his daughter is being ferried on a horse while watching a soccer match at a street-side cafe between ManU and Chelsea and return home without his daughter.Chaudhary has, at times, over-simplified the complex issues married couples face (sharing of parental responsibilities).

Special mention: A special mention about the dialogues of the film like ‘towel ki galat side’ and many more.

Rating: 3/5
