Story :

The film tells the story of Sid Roy (Farhan Akhtar) and Trisha Malik Roy (Vidya Balan) who are happily married. Trisha is free spirited, confident and Sid is a struggling musician who spends considerable effort and time in making jingles. After a night of heavy passion and a lot of scotch, Trisha gets pregnant. Initially a feeble hearted Sid, suddenly gathers the courage to step into fatherhood to avoid the side effects of IVF later on in their lives.

At the same time then the baby transformed it all. Sid and Trisha had always kept their relationship very non confrontation-a list become victims of the side effects of shaadi and its by product – the baby. Sid distances himself from all the persistently faultfinding by creating a separate world of his own. Nevertheless as fortune would have it his string of white lies eventually comes out in the open. Now, the point is whether Sid and Trisha will be successful to topple the side effects of their Shaadi and discover love again. Lets watch!

Analysis :

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
It would genuinely be a sudden astonishment to see the opening scene of the film. Ripped off straight from Four Christmases, the scene nearly got me judgmental. Until Saket Chaudhary convinced us of why his Pyaar ke Side Effects became so impossible to dismiss despite its apparent and much visible flaws. His great understanding of characters and relationships is fetched well in the story and Saket manages to keep Sid and Trisha layered yet very connecting to a great extent even in this one.

The story commences on a high voltage note. Even though thematically copied, the fantasy loving between couple and saying sorry even when it’s not your fault is used and tackled with intelligence. The script remained largely conversational, drawing the audiences towards it by being adorably engaging. Sid and Trisha’s relationship and marriage thrives greatly on Sid’s persistent attitude to evade confrontations and sticky conversations. Nevertheless, the lack of proper communication between them commences to surface once their relationship changes dynamics and from being spouses they turn into parents.

The story’s basic essence remains unchanged in spirit since its last edition but the form is definitely quite different.

Sid is no longer the commitment-phobic maniac we were introduced to then. He is a boy who has managed to settle down, strategised his way into finding happiness and security in both love and marriage. But it all falls out of place after a night of misplaced passion gets Trisha knocked up. Retaining the pregnancy for wrong reasons, approaching fatherhood with the incorrect vision and failing to elevate himself to the changed needs and priorities of his relationship pushes him into a strange dissatisfaction of sorts. I love the smooth yet minute detailing the filmmaker has paid careful attention to in terms of transforming Trisha from the confident seductress to the woman who forces herself into clothes which doesn’t fit her anymore only to please her husband who thinks she dress too practically.

On the contrary in precedence of beginning weaving tall expectations, the forewarning appears that post interval the story dilutes itself into something very mentally confusing. Throwing itself off track, getting trapped in the intricacies of melodrama, post intermission the plot turns very jumbled, self centered and surprisingly predictable. Characters like Manav and Aunty and Shekhar all fit the expected stereotypes whom Saket keeps cliched, thereby allowing them to dismantle a perfectly painted concept. It is only for the feeble writing of the second half that the film delivers a half baked story irrespective a charged Farhan and sincere Vidya struggling to keep it breezy.

Performance :

Shaadi Ke Side Effects-review Farhan Akhtar picks up a role perhaps quite different from what he seems to be and plays it to perfection in every frame. It is quite a challenge for an actor to master what isn’t his forte and Farhan is genuinely flawless in this role.

Vidya Balan’s lovable enigma is what results with temptation to me about her. She makes even the continually faultfinding Trisha manifesting and only an actress of her caliber can bring so many hues to a character which has the maximum risk of getting termed as caricature. She compliments Farhan by bringing on screen a potently refreshing chemistry at our disposal which holds through the screenplay even in its loose bits.

Ram Kapoor, Rati Agnihotri, Ila Arun and mostly Vir Das are all uncontrollably useless. It takes some caliber to waste someone who possesses Vir Das’ exceptional ability and the filmmaker does regrettably manage that.
Final Word: Shaadi Ke Side Effects Movie Review I am going with a lenient 3.5 for this film that worsen into settling for being average in the second half but for the stellar first hour cannot be missed. Lets keep an expectancy that Saket’s next is something more cleverly logically connected as well consistent than this film.

Story :

The film Highway commences at a posh locality in Delhi where a rich businessman’s daughter Veera Tripathi (Alia Bhatt) is tying the knot with another who’s who of the city. A few days short of the wedding, the to-be bride who is quickly prone to claustrophobia blackmails her fiance to take her on a nightly drive down to the highway. At a gas station which was being burgled, they stop. Surrounded by all the loot the gang leader Mahabir Bhati (Randeep Hooda) kidnaps Veera. Accompanied by her father’s political connections, it is a daredevil thing for Mahabir who then embarks on a journey from state to state to keep buying time until Alia is sold off successfully into prostitution. How from antagonists do Mahabir and Veera affectionately land up on the same plane is story that needs to be heard in this one.

Analysis :

Highway
During the beginning stage itself I have had a problem with the perception of ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ in this film. It is disclosed much later in the story that Alia’s character Veera comes characterized by an emotional baggage as heavy as Mahabir’s to justify the connection between the duo. Nevertheless experimenting with the volatile idea here doesn’t reap much good for the movie as a whole. Not only is the angle unconvincing and stark, it is unbelievable and horridly lame to say the least. I personally cannot identify freedom that doesn’t assure a sense of security. At the same time feeling free and ecstatic with someone who is brutal isn’t identifiable. Even though commendably it is a refreshing drift attempted on part of Ali, it isn’t good enough to save the film.

Alia’s Veera is a restructured version of Geet from Jab We Met. She is over-the-top whacky, on-the-edge impulsive and so adorable that you flow with her. Alia to assume the character a similar premise yet perhaps her character is written so sketchily that it fails to replicate a similar resonance. At many points the script fails to justify many of its high tension points. There is a scene where Mahabir asks Alia to run away from him and she failing to do that returns. A kidnapped girl returning back to the one who fascinated her is markedly unusual in appearance. At another point, she hides when the police searches Mahabir’s truck when she could have easily busted Mahabir. Understandably, the intention was to show how Alia regards with contempt the stiffly neat of her highest class of life but the scene came off as incredibly stupid.

Just in precedence of the interval strikes, out of the blue Veera tells Mahabir a deep secret from her childhood, which clearly most around her must have insisted she being quiet up on. She hugs Mahabir to seek comfort and he allows her. While all is satisfactory blazing in this affair, even if I cast aside my feelings about the chain of instances, the first most emotional moment of the film seems forced and shaky.

The story turns to a newer leaf post interval. In the first half, I was perhaps anticipating that the build up is leading to some good, in succession to interval it took me little time to realize the predictable climax. The film transforms into slides from a travel catalogue suddenly. A girl with traumatic past, a man from the proletariat section of the society and the tug of affection between these strangers are all given a miss. The focus shifts drastically towards capturing the natural landscapes more than the emotional one. It will be a cliched line but the climax is one you can predict from far away and is handled carelessly. During the last 15 minutes, the film manages to wrap up threatening and extremely angry evening out the bad aftereffects one would be needed to keep while coming out.

Performance :

Highway-review
Randeep Hooda is preoccupied with depressing thoughts and fearsome for most part. Ever since the actor’s onset in the industry, he has carefully selected roles which allow him to perfect the act of snarling and grunting. Hooda is damn good in the first half and in the rest he was repetitive.

Alia Bhatt never got out of playing her bimbo character from Student Of The Year and the actress plays Veera with a similar quotient of beginning energy. Nevertheless rendering the same excitement in tackling a sensitive film like this, it would have been advisable to tone down the rapturous drift of story to find something more serene and meaningful. I would have easily said she is a terrible actress especially subsequent to watching the scene in which she runs to take the bus with Randeep, yelling, screeching, her nostrils flaring enough to make me laugh. On the contrary in the last 15 minutes she steals the thunder proving her courage and fortitude with the ease of a pro.
Final Word: Highway Movie Review Highway whips up all the ingredients required for an arising the curiosity yet goes wrong as a whole. The bold subject like this one has been handled unconvincingly at the same time doesn’t come close to reality. In addition excessive heavy handedness in the screenplay was quite prominent and somehow the effortless ease that signifies the beauty of Imtiaz’s films is absolutely missing from it.

To emphasize on the fact that one cannot disagree to the actuality that it's only Rahman’s divine music and the pristine cinematography that works here. To be honest, it left me confused and deficient in emotion especially due to the reason that when its Imtiaz Ali there's huge expectations. It is extremely sad and I am rating it with an agreeably tolerant 2.5 star. It could have been much better!

Story :

Set in the backdrop of 1970s, when an independent Bangladesh was formed. The story is of two friends Bikram (Ranveer Singh) and Bala (Arjun Kapoor) who are now based in Calcutta. As kids Bikram and Bala start their journey by stealing coal from train eventually makes them the biggest coal mafia in Calcutta city. They are inseparable friends too.
However things change between the two best friends as both Bikram and Bala fall in love with a cabaret dancer Nandita (Priyanka Chopra). Meanwhile ACP Satyajeet Sarkar (Irrfan Khan) will be deployed to put an end to the illegal coal business and also Bkiram and Bala.
Will ACP Sarkar manage to put an end to Bikram and Bala ? What about Nandita forms the entire plot.

Analysis :

GundayIt is completely an outdated story but the way movie was presented is very good. The biggest asset of this movie is Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor. Generally chemistry between heroes won't be enough convincing but the chemistry between the Raveer and Arjun is a huge plus point to this movie. The first half of the movie is simple and routine. The second half pulls the strings and keeps the audience engaging till the end with ample of twists and turns. The climax is bit emotional.

Performance :

Gunday-review As we said Ranveer and Arjun are the show thiefs. They out performed each and every actor in this film and gave a stunning performance, might even fetch them awards. Priyanka sizzled as cabaret dancer and matched the role. Irrfan Khan again delivered a mind blowing performance as cunning police officer.
Final Word: Gunday Movie Review we can say Gunday is old wine in new bottle but they never taste bad. Go watch it!
