hyped garbage
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Perhaps I would have given this film a higher rating in 2006, for it must have been very unusual then. Today, it appears as a typical Hinglish film aimed at the multiplex audience.The story is lighthearted. There is no preaching here. And that makes the film and its characters very realistic. The Delhi-Mumbai tug between Rahul and Mallika are entertaining. The love meter was hilarious too. The movie has a good comic feel to it, without ever using exaggeration in desperate attempts. The father in law and Rahul scenes are cute too.Rahul is sincere, and pulls off the character with ease. He is lovable. Sharat Saxena is dependable as always. Mallika is strictly average. Jas and Sophie are good models, and should stick to that. Ranvir is brilliant as always.The problem with the film lies in the fact that though it is different, it is also quite routine. Several of the relationships depicted are cliché and predictable. It had the potential to be really fresh which it missed. Having said that, it does not make for bad viewing if you have nothing else to do. Watch it for Rahul and the music.
Now this was a nice movie, which was certainly out of the standard run of mill bollywood movies. Best thing about this one was that no BIG star was in it, it was well-directed and contemporary. Rahul Bose acted like a man running for love,life,family and what not. Mallika (I don't know why people don't respect her in the way she deserves) was just too good (she was typical Delhi-Girl), Rest of the cast was up to the mark which makes it a worth watching film.After all we, in India, have this notion of being from North or south, these are silly little things but we do have daily instances of these coming into our life and those silly little things are portrayed very beautifully in this movie. As for romance, both the actors have done a great job in depicting what actually happens in real life when one is caught between the set prejudices of family and the love of their life. Some parallels from "Meet the Parents" can be drawn but very very few indeed.Its a refresher, go watch it today.
I began watching this movie, not knowing what the storyline was going to be or whether or not it would be a waste of time; however, I am a Rahul Bose fan and knew that it couldn't be all that bad. I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised. The story revolves around a couple - Bose and Sherawat - who have been dating for three years. Sherawat is ready to get married while Bose is not. We find this out in literally the first 5 minutes of the movie. What spans the rest of the two hours are real life situations that I am positive everyone who has been in a relationship can relate to. There were many scenes that had me cracking up. The dialogues were amazing and the progression of the film was fabulous. A must watch with your significant other or friends...definitely not with the family! The acting was amazing. Rahul Bose proved once again that he is absolutely hilarious. His comic timing and facial expressions were priceless. Although, I am not a fan of Malika Sherawat, I must admit, she suited this role to the T. She looked amazing and gave a good performance.If you are looking for 2 hours of comedy and entertainment...and a chance to re-evaluate your own personal relationship then watch Pyar ke Side Effects!!!
This is a very remarkable attempt at making a romantic comedy much in the spirit of Hollywood movies like "sleepless in Seattle" and "meet the parents".It is about a DJ, Rahul Bose, who bumps into this Delhite girl, Malika Sherawat, and a relationship brews for 3 years and all helter skelter breaks when Malika sets forward the desire to get married, which of course like any typical guy Rahul Bose is not ready for.The charm of this movie is in its comedy, good acting by Bose, some really good punch lines and the fact that being a Hindi movie it still stays close to reality. Of late I can hardly remember a Hindi movie comedy that had characters that were real. Some scenes really got my bones hurting with all the laughing I was doing .. which trust me I haven't done in a very long long long time. Definitely kudos to the script writer.In a nutshell: Definitely a must watch comedy movie, but not for the kids.
