[Tamil Blu Shaadi Ke Side Effects To 720p
Eliora Shopbell
"When I do something wrong, I say sorry to my wife. When my wife does something wrong, I say sorry to my wife," said a helpless Sid (Farhan Akhtar) in Shaadi Ke Side Effects. And Trisha's (Vidya Balan) comeback to Farhan's statement was just another level. That's marriage for you, ladies and gentlemen - the sweet nok-jhok, the tu tu-main main, the roothna and the manana. And on February 28, 2014, Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan gave us a taste of that in Shaadi Ke Side Effects. On the film's 7th anniversary, we dedicate this week's Monday Masala to Shaadi Ke Side Effects (SKSE).advertisementSHAADI LESSONS FROM SHAADI KE SIDE EFFECTSSid and Trisha start off as a couple madly in love, one who cannot keep their hands off each other. Eventually, the romance is reduced to aate-chawal ka bhao and the cost per diaper. Sid and Trisha are not alone, several modern-day relationships end up here. But SKSE offers lessons at every moment. You know how people often offer muft ka gyaan? Well, in SKSE, Sid and Trisha find a maa-figure in their bai (house help), who's always offering them marital advice. The film shows how, instead of talking to others and taking their inputs, one should communicate with each other. There's nothing a good conversation cannot solve. SHAADI MEIN HUMOUR SWAAD ANUSAAR
The USP of Shaadi Ke Side Effects was its humour. The actors' brilliant comic timing, coupled with witty dialogues, helped deliver the points the film tried to make without getting too preachy. But, director Saket Chaudhary also struck a fine balance between humour and emotion in this slice-of-marriage story. The film had intelligent writing which held it together. At the end of it all, however, we must say that Farhan and Vidya's chemistry took the cake.
Apart from the message that the film gave us, Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan also added their two bits during the promotions. Vidya, who got married to Siddharth Roy Kapur in 2012, had said, "I am still experiencing the effects of marriage. My husband Siddharth is a very convincing actor, so I don't always believe him. It is wonderful to win all the time and we ladies do always win. My only advice to others is to be yourself even after you are married."
Farhan, who was married to Adhuna Bhabani at the time of the film's release, said, "To be honest, this thing about side effects of a marriage is not a very serious issue. It depends on each individual and how they want to carry on with the relationship. The only thing is to always remember that thing (quality) which made you fall in love with your partner." Farhan got married to Shibani Dandekar on February 19 in a beautiful wedding ceremony.
Prasanna D Zore describes Shaadi Ke Side Effects as 'an over-simplified, over-amplified, over-stretched joke...'
Siddharth Roy and Trisha Mallik, total strangers, meet at a noisy discotheque.
A minor squabble reveals that both are married to each other and are just trying to escape from their mundane lives with role-playing over some wine and jarring music.
As luck would have it, they end up having a romp -- a secret fantasy every man, married or otherwise, desires and for the sake of Shaadi Ke Side Effects (and equality) our woman, Trisha, cherishes too -- at a five star hotel.
Like all sex-starved people who get to indulge in wild one-night stands, Siddharth (Farhan Akhtar) and Trisha (Vidya Balan) are all over each other -- inside the elevator, just outside their hotel room -- and oblivious of the prying cameras.
Even as these strangers are at it inside the room, the hotel manager knocks on the door and chides Siddharth for his indecent act outside the room, only to be told by the latter that the two are a married couple trying to spice up their sex lives.
Shaadi Ke Side Effects (SKSE), written and directed by Saket Chaudhary, who also helmed Rahul Bose-Mallika Sherawat starrer Pyaar Ke Side Effects, opens on this contrived note and meanders for an over-stretched 145 minutes, full of twists and turns, that one has come to so famously associate with soaps produced by Balaji.
Chaudhary has, at times, over-simplified the complex issues married couples face (sharing of parental responsibilities) and, at times, over-amplified the way these strange creatures (read married couples) react to facts of married-life, like pregnancies.
For heavens sake, nobody makes his wife do pregnancy tests four times just to convey his shock and unpreparedness over the impending situation.
While Chaudhary has aptly showcased the problems faced by couples once they become parents, he has gone overboard with his portrayal of two individuals trying to find 'me-space' as they grapple with parental responsibilities.
For example, no soccer-crazy father could forget that his daughter is being ferried on a horse while watching a soccer match at a street-side cafe between ManU and Chelsea and return home without his daughter, only to be reminded how irresponsible a father he is by his wife.
For example, no woman would lie to her husband that the reason for her second pregnancy is the next-door dude just to find out if her husband is as forgiving as she is and then unconvincingly confess that she has lied to him.
Nobody, though, is trying to take away the moments in SKSE that make you empathise with the ups and downs faced by Siddharth and Trisha but it is more so because Akhtar and Balan make them seem real with their sincerity.
With these two talents around and some cheeky dialogues (written by Arshad Sayed) on the plate you will never find a dull moment in the film; the over-stretched plot though earnestly attempts to test your patience on many occasions.
Surely, Akhtar and Balan, two of the finest actors in contemporary Bollywood, need to be applauded for pulling off SKSE without giving you any side effects once the credits begin to roll.
Rediff Rating:
The use of online social networks (OSNs) has grown substantially over the past few years and many studies have reported positive effects of using OSNs platforms. However, the negative effects of OSNs have received little attention. Given the lack of studies in this area, we conducted a review of top information systems journals to explore the gaps in the literature. Our review identified a number of theoretical and practical gaps. We then recommended an agenda for the future research, highlighting the importance of the dark side of OSNs and guiding researchers on how they can identify, mitigate and reduce negative consequences of using OSNs on different aspects of human lives.
