In the dusty lanes of a small UP town, where gossip travels faster than rickshaws and shaadi season never ends, two sworn enemies are forced to work side-by-side-again.
Kavya Sharma, a witty librarian with a secret double life as a spicy romance author, wants nothing to do with loud music, flashy weddings, or Raghav Singh-the town's most dramatic and Instagram-obsessed wedding planner.
Unfortunately, fate (and her cousin's wedding) have other plans.
From dance-off disasters to playlist wars, Kavya and Raghav are constantly butting heads... until sparks of a very different kind start to fly. But when Raghav finds out Kavya is the mysterious "Gulabo Rani" whose writing he's been falling for online, the real drama begins.
Packed with laughter, chaos, chai, and charm, Shaadi Ke Side Effects is a feel-good rom-com about unexpected love, second chances, and finding magic in the most familiar places.
For fans of: Band Baaja Baaraat, To All the Boys I've Loved Before, and everything with too much marigold.
