It is a beautiful story of how the fight between Mars and Venus is the apple of discord in every household. The fights, arguments, emotions and the witty one-liners radiate fun and laughter. The dialogues are wonderfully delivered with zing and wit! One word for the lead pair- SMASHING! Vidya Balan is superb and funky as usual. Her tantrums and drama are so very charming. Farhan is brilliant in his act and dialogue delivery. His humor and sarcasm is perfect. Ram Kapoor and Vir Das are comical and endearing. Although the second half is high on emotional content and a little drab, the groovy songs make up for it. The film is a lovable romantic comedy which the married can relate to and as for the singles, Oh well, they can always be the mute spectators enjoying! Kudos to it.

PS: The only “side-effect” is that you come out of the theater smiling and for men, It can be a learning experience.
