![]() Many of the supporting characters - especially Sid’s roommate Manav (Vir Das) and the maid (Ila Arun) - have much greater nuance but flit in for a scene, maybe two, and then flit out again. We see Milli through several important developments of her young life without developing any feel for her. How does she feel about mummy and papa, fighting or not? We don’t know that either. What things does Milli like? We don’t know. But to great disappointment, their daughter, Milli, isn’t much of a character either. You’d hope someone making a comedy about marriage would, but I’m not so sure here.īut then this movie really does end up being more about raising a child than having a marriage, especially considering the Roys realize “we are pregnant” in just the second scene. Though it’s understandable the movie might focus more on Sid’s struggles than Trisha’s, the way that it treats Trisha makes you wonder if the filmmaker understands married women like her at all. We don’t even know what Trisha did for a living before quitting to become a full-time mom. She spends most of the runtime as an overprotective mom/demanding wife stereotype with little to no nuance. Trisha has very little character up until the end of the story when she’s breaking down. She and Farhan both do a mighty good job with comedic timing and making what they’re given feel real, even when it’s ridiculous, but she is given far less to work with than he is. What starts off as a wonderful concept ultimately fizzles - and all but dissolves in the final 20 minutes - because a lack of solid storyline.īut adding to the woes is that the movie is a waste of Vidya Balan’s talent. Unfortunately, that pretty much is the story. They reconcile without actually fixing anything. Sid starts lying to his wife to be happy. Beyond that, there really isn’t much of a plot here. In summary, Sid and Trisha Roy have grown up into different actors from Pyaar Ke Side Effects and gotten married. They say they hadn’t even met, let alone become friends, before the film, but their easy-going chemistry leapt out immediately in the trailers. The film stars Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan, both of whom have been on quite a roll lately. After the success of Pyaar Ke Side Effects, writer-director Saket Chaudhary dives further into relationships by examining the “side effects” of marriage in Shaadi Ke Side Effects.
