He says it. She contradict. He reciprocate. She overacts. He makes mistakes, he says sorry. She makes mistakes, 'he' says sorry. So there! Even understanding like Socrates and Einstein couldn't crack a fool-proof plan to a 'happy marriage'. Even novel cosmic concepts like Men are from Mars and Women are from all over the place (lol!) can't explain this 'heavenly' intervention. So then? Let's take a look at Saket Chaudhary's insightful story of shaadi and its shocking effects.

Sid's (Farhan) married life seems to be protection with his audacious wife Trisha (Vidya), until a chance ' helpless ' moment of pleasure lands them with a 'bundle' of unwanted problems. He puts his musical enthusiasm to rest, from composing jingles to singing lullabies for his little girl (even breaking into 'Sweet Child of Mine' - Wake up, Guns 'n' Roses! Hilarious!).

Trisha turns into an distinctive, full-time mommy and Sid is left missing their lovely 'twosome' life. Pillow talk turns to potty talk and spousal spasms crawl into their shaadi, leading Sid to seek advice from bro-in-law (Ram Kapoor). Does the quick-fix save-the-shaadi solution create more cracks, or stoke the chemistry? The best part is that Sid and Trisha don't 'fake' it. Ever! They are acceptable characters living real life situations. Yet, their quirkiness leaves you with entertaining shriek. Saket's story pulls everything together skillfully, with conversations that turn into aphorism and chemistry that discharge wit and enthralling. There's nothing affectionate or inattentive about it.

The director negotiate a fine balance between humour and emotion in this slice-of-marriage story. The first half takes a while to catch up, but the dialogues (Arshad Sayed) provide ample laughs, while giving wisdom for wedded bliss. Vir Das in his fashionable avatar is a riot. Vidya is distinguished and hits a high note in the emotional scenes. The film belongs to Farhan who surprise you with his straightforward -faced remark and overflow of expressions that delight and move dramatically.

This film will have more of a 'special effect' than 'side effect' on you.
