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.
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.
Pyar Ke Side Effects – There is something about this movie which makes it click. Attempting to pinpoint a lone factor will be a futile. But yes one can safely give the credit to the efforts deployed in pre-production and its effective translation onto the silver screen (the latter of course being the most challenging part).¤ Rahul Bose doesn't need any praise for his performance. Spot on! ¤ Mallika Sherawat: I had little respect for this "bimbo starlet" and categorised her meteoric rise to her manipulative publicity and manipulative features (he! he!). Watching Pyar Ke Side Effects threw that notion out of the window. She fits into the character like hand in glove. And yes, if its anyone who gets/ should get/ deserves maximum mileage and opportunity laid on a platter owing to the success of the movie then its got to be MS.¤ Sophiya:: No wonder why she is still confined to item girl roles, very puppetry acting. Seriously needs some acting lessons to add to her balance sheet (he! he! again).¤ Jeeju-Sister:: Good performance and well balanced character roles. And the father-faining act is copied from "Jhankaar Beats", BTW.¤ Ranvir Shorey: As far as I remember it was from this movie I started paying attention to Ranvir. If there is any other actor who would come on Top-Of-Mind-Recall when PYAR KE SIDE EFFECTS is uttered, then its gotta be Naanu.¤ Sharat Saxena:: As usual, dependable.¤ Jas Arora & Suchitra Pillai: Fit the bill effectively. It couldn't have got any better.The never-ending battle between Delhi and Bombay is well presented. And of course the coffee. And the protagonist being a DJ all these adds to say that the director is in sync with the times. The innovative ideas such as the comic book type animation and the protagonist connecting with the audience deserves brownie points.Even during channel surfing if one happens to stumble upon Pyar Ke Side Effects, its difficult to resist stopping by and catching up with a few moments of the movie .. and needless to say, one would end up watching the rest.
I had my reservations while going for movie as I thought it would be just another light romantic comedy. But came out of hall more than satisfied. Movie is about a typical relationship between a boyfriend and girlfriend where girl is looking for settling down when boy is not yet ready. Story was OK but what I liked most was the treatment of the subject as well as the performances of Rahul Bose and Ranvir. It was full of witty humor and chemistry between three men (Bose, Ranvir and Bashir) was more interesting than the leading pair.Must say what I remember most about the movie is Ranvir. He was just terrific. I found it better than (much hyped)Munnabhai and funnier than "Golmaal". In fact I would like to put it into the category of Hera Pheri.Good work done by Saket.
