First half fun, second half all over the place
�Shaadi� is fun, and real, and has some nice laugh-out-loud situations which the leads make the most of. But marriage takes two, and the tango here is only from Sid�s perspective : how about showing us what it could be like from Trisha�s ?

Shaadi Ke Side Effects is like average marriage
Writer-director Saket Chaudhary makes this evolution laugh-out-loud funny.

There�s also Ram Kapoor, lovely as the brother-in-law, who offers this invaluable advice: "Log kehte hai ek happy married life ki buniyad hoti hai pyar, bharosa...bakwas...sach toh yeh hai ki happy married life ki buniyaad hotey hain woh chhote chhote jhooth."

Shaadi Ke Side Effects is recommended because, despite its flaws, it is passable fun while it lasts.
Shaadi Ke Side Effects, via the words of Ranvir, hands out some dodgy pop psychology to justify a somewhat far-fetched �formula� for a happy marriage. White lies, some harmless subterfuge and an occasional return to the joys of a �carefree single life� are offered as a way out of marital drudgery. Sure enough, the side effects of that formula are far too many for comfort and they boomerang many times over on Sid. Shaadi Ke Side Effects isn�t exceptionally engaging fare. It is essentially a single idea stretched to the very end of its tether.(more)
