Pyaar Ke Side Effects

Skit this movie. There was some potential, but Malika Sherawat cannot act. The script is too stereotypical to be taken seriously. The protagonist Trisha is a cliché, not a real person. The runtime is too long to consider it even a light-hearted watch. I feel bad for Rahul Bose, he clearly is a good actor who deserves better roles. He did his best here too.

This film has inspired films like Pyar ka punchnama which are now regarded as cult movies. However this movie is the original source. The acting and comic timing of Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat is top notch. This movie lets you see the side of Mallika Sherawat as an actor. What a great performance. The humor is top notch. We appreciate stupid slapstick comedy of Hera Pheri but cannot appreciate a great humor of this movie. It is just SAD. Watch it. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (Remember this is the source and many movie copied this and added their own material to make their movies better)

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.

Pyaar Ke Side Effects is a fun rom-com. It is modern, lighthearted and comic in its story and presentation, and that makes it thoroughly entertaining. The film is not as much about love as it is about relationships between young and modern people in an urban "new" India. This depiction is well done. Frankly speaking, had this film been made in Hollywood, it probably would not have been taken very seriously since that's what audiences there are most used to seeing, but as an Indian movie, it was fun stuff worth watching with friends as it's different from anything one uses to associate with Hindi movies. The film stars Rahul Bose in a fine performance as a troubled thirty year-old man who does not really know how to deal with his relationship with a young woman played by Mallika Sherawat who insists on marriage while he is not ready yet to take such responsibility. Sherawat is quite natural in a role that is nothing great but quite likable. Other cast members do well. One of the aspects I did not like in this movie was the narration. I did not like the way Bose's character often started narrating his thoughts and the proceedings in the middle of a scene and the other characters were made kind of deaf, unaware of his voiced dialogues. A simple narration of voice over would be more effective. Anyway, if one's speaking of dialogues, then I must say they were quite authentic in this one. To sum it up, Pyaar Ke Side Effects is an enjoyable and highly watchable movie best watched by young couples and friends.

I don't remember having laughed and enjoyed so much in a Hindi movie before.The movie is a complete gamut of emotions much better than a DDLJ as there is nothing extraordinary the hero has to do here no convincing,no tears,no heart wrenching dialogues,no getting bashed up he is just like any average guy who has fallen in love.The leads were amazing mallika looked gorgeous and desirable even with very little make up.Ranvir Shorey is hilarious I often paused for a few moments before i could gather myself together.There should be a sequel to this awesome movie with all of them again.My friends used to talk so much about this movie and i really wanted to know what was special in this movie.It is a joyride really screenplay is so well done each and one situation blends effortlessly leading to the other.lovely movie.

Opposite to my expectation, it is a good movie. Rahul Bose looks awesome and acted his role good. Malika Sherawat is looking better than ever. A one time watch, the movie makes an interesting, about 3 hrs time pass. The protagonist is Sid(rahul) who plays a boy, trying his best to make a mark as a DJ. He meets Trisha(malika)at her wedding where he catches her trying to elope from the wedding as she does not want to marry someone she does not love(arranged marriage). After 6 months they meet again in mumbai and start dating. One fine day, trisha proposes marriage to sid and then begins his experience telling, about what all a guy goes through, when he is confused between, agreeing to a commitment or not. Everything is touched up with humor, so all in all, its a good watch!

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.
