Pyaar ke Side Effects (2006)

[sandeep]

Finally released in UAE last weekend, this movie was a light, funny and frothy romantic comedy...

Delivered in a very Hollywood style, this movie combines the best of both the east and west, with nice music and decent performances by both lead actors... Rahul Bose, and surprise surprise Mallika Sherwat! She isnt just flaunting herself but can actually act...

Its a good movie to catch in the cinema, as its well shot and filmed. The second half is a bit stretched... first half is packed with stuff... the eternal battle of the sexes, the commitment phobic vs. the marriage freak! check it out!

3.5/5

I watched this too and this movie was extremely funny. Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherwat's battle of the sexes was witty and intelligent. I totally agreed with all of the points shown in the movie. (you gotta watch it to know what tthey are)
Agree with Sandeep the first half is what scores big time, the second half is dragged out for too long, nevertheless an entertaining watch.
Finally a movie where Mallika Sherwat is not relying only on her kissing abilities.

i liked this movie a lot. Mallika and rahul bose have changed indian cinema in thier own way, by pushing the envelope. they've not held back on the punches, and shown without mincing words, what they wanted to show aspects a REAL relationship in india. girl meets guy at a family wedding alright - but it's at the girls wedding and she runs away and they accidentally run into each other 6 months later to hook up. and hook up they do! i'm glad indian cinema is owning up to showing us that some indian youth are really having relationships and lives like thier western counterparts - not living the way karan johar thinks they do.
