Story
Siddharth or Sid Roy (Farhan Akhtar) and Trisha Mallik (Vidya Balan) have been happily married for several years. Trouble begins when Trisha becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child. The doting mother ignores her marriage and Sid feels neglected, frustrated and insecure.
Sid's brother in-law (Ram Kapoor) gives him a piece of brotherly advise. Sid is to make space for himself and deal with problems by telling some white lies. So Sid, the husband, begins to live a double life. He is a family man for half the time and rest of the time Sid is (pretends) a single dude.
A lot of melodrama ensues after which the couple has to decide whether to continue with their relationship as husbands and wife or to fall apart to the 'side effects' of their marriage.
Analysis :
The film is a thought-provoking take on husband-wife relationship in a warm and funny manner. The script has uneven edges, but Farhan and Vidya's sizzling onscreen chemistry sails the movie through. They look perfectly matched in the film.
Farhan's dialogue, “When I do something wrong, I say sorry to my wife. When my wife does something wrong…. I say sorry to my wife.” is thought provoking. It addresses the oldest question in a marriage on what women want. Do men and women want the same thing in a marriage.
The film is mainly shouldered by the lead cast who carry it off with elan. A lot of fine-tuning may have gone into the pre-production stage as Sid and Trisha look like the perfect couple. They don't look over-rehearsed and appear very much like a married couple.
The film's script has been written from Sid's point of view to draw maximum sympathy for the poor husband who has to deal with a nagging wife. Farhan and Vidya as an onscreen couple are lovely. You just can't take your eyes off the lead pair during the movie.
Performance :
Farhan Akhtar playes the role of a harried husband to perfection. He portrays the character of Sid, who is partly man party boy with elan. Vidya Balan plays her role better than she did in her earlier movies. She is perfect as the expectant mother, radiant with happiness. Later she plays her role as a paranoid mother and towards the end she depicts the role of a woman trying to get back her husband's attention with ease.
The side characters in the movie have been used only as a support system. Purab Kohli dons the role of the nosy neighbour while Vir Das playing Farhan’s character’s bachelor fantasies could have been used better.
Final Word:
Watch this film for Akhtar's acting that makes you laugh.
