Pyar Ke side effects

Ok. One week in Gujarat and after daily training from 9 to 5 (which includes catching the company bus at 8 and similarly returning at 6) we needed a break. So we all went to the theater to watch Munna Bhai – Lagae Raho. But since it was a Sunday and it’s a big hit, we didn’t manage to get tickets. Thus we ended up at a Pritish Nandy production “Pyar Ke Side Effects”.

Starring Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat, the movie line is predictable and seemed to have borrowed heavily from “Meet the Parents” (Robert De Niro, Teri Polo and Ben Stiller – 2000). Though Mallika’s acting leaves a lot to be desired it was an amazing adult comedy. It had us rolling over the aisles. This is totally a guy’s perspective. I’m not sure if the fairer sex will find it as hilarious. It may not be worth a 100 or 150 buck ticket, but it still is a bundle of laughs.
