Partner: A Series of Conveniently Placed Idiotic Events

For the ones who don't like to read, the title of the post should be enough to understand how the movie would have been. The title has been borrowed from one of my friend's remark on the movie, which completely fits in reference to this movie.

As everyone knows by now that the movie is inspired by Will Smith starer Hitch, except for some sequences, which are as irrelevant to the story as the movie itself, like the missile sequence, Characters Chhota Don (Rajpal Yadav) and Rana From Hariyana (Puneet Issar) and some songs to show Govinda's amazingly funny dance moves.

Since everyone already knows about the script, I would take you through some of the scenes from this latest venture of David Dhawan. When Priya (Katrina Kaif) calls up Bhaskar Diwakar Chaudhary (Graduate from IIMA, 1991 batch and still earning 30,000Rs per month, played by Govinda) for the first time. You have to watch the excitement on Govinda's face and his body language. The scene followed by this is equally funny and Govinda steals the show again. The most funny scene of the movie would be the scene where brides father tells the groom "Sorry, Peter" after calling off the marriage. I wanted to see the expressions on Peter's face.

This movie can truly be called Govinda's comeback film, he has done a brilliant job. He is still one of the best comedians and dancers in bollywood. Katrina Kaif has nothing to do except for looking good, thankfully she has not been given many dialogues. Lara Datta is ok and Salman Khan is being stupid in the entire film. Rajpal Yadav, Suresh Menon are able to make you laugh. Music of the movie is quite decent. Background score played while Rajpal Yadav is on the screen is funny. Editor should have used his scissors a bit more.

Overall I would rate this movie as 3 out of ten. 2 points for Govinda and 1 for two beautiful faces (Katrina and Lara). Except for these two, nothing else is worth mentioning.

It's coz of movies like this I have made my own schedule of watching movies. After every bad bollywood movie I watch I make a promise to not to see another bollywood movie for next 8 weeks. Same goes for Hollywood movies. And this has worked out quite well for me. After Aawarapan I took a 4 week break- since it was not that bad..this break is gonna end on 1st aug and thank god i missed naquaab, partner and aap ka surror due to this. Similarly i watched pirates of carribean on june 2nd and not this break from hollywood is gonna end also on 1st aug....
