‘Pyaar Ke Side Effects’ is a funny romantic comedy that explains the ‘relationships of today’. Casting Rahul Bose and Bollywood’s sex kitten Mallika Sherawat in her toned down avatar, director Saket Chaudhary has chosen the path of humour to narrate his story in his very first outing. Pyaar Ke Side Effects mirrors certain truths that several working people in a metropolis face. And it’s this facet that forms the crux of the story.
