Partner

I was interested in watching how this Hitch Bollywood remake would turn out to be, considering the fact that it had Salman Khan, Govinda, Lara Dutta & Katrina in it... & to be honest- I was a bit disappointed that the script had nothing new to offer. It was an exact copy of the Hitch! But, what I did like about this movie was the way the actors portrayed their roles in the film... Specially Govinda for me, was superb throughout the film!

If I go on with a critical aspect then there's no great talk for this movie. But considering the kind of audience it was supposed to attract- Partner did a great job in doing so.

Anybody interested in taking a break typical Bollywood style should really watch this film!!!

When I saw the trailer of Partner, I knew right away that the shameless director David Dhawan has stolen another Hollywood flick as his "inspiration". Partner is a plagiarized copy of the Will Smith-starrer Hitch.

Everything that happened from the first reel to the very last frame in this movie was an awful pain for me. I just couldn't digest the typical Bollywood dose of endless songs and comedy scenes. And to make matters even worse, the brainless filmmaker has added stupid plot angles like Lara Dutta's son who has no father and Rajpal Yadav's track as Chota Don. Horrible!

Govinda looked old but his comic timing was not too bad, especially his scenes in the office cabin with Salman. But watching him dance was painful as usual. Salman Khan reprises the Will Smith role in Hitch diligently in his own inimitable style. Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif had nothing to do but look good and fake in front of the camera.

The music of the film is surprisingly worth listening to but the placement of the songs look forced and songs pop out now and then without any valid reason.

Fortunately for the first time in Bollywood history, the makers of Partner have been sued for copying a Hollywood flick. But no legal action had been taken!

(1) The Movie --: As far as the overall movie is concerned, it is a typical Bollywood entertainer, which makes you to laugh many times and entertains you well. Govinda's comic timing, first time pairing of Salman and Govinda, very good songs and music, beautiful locals and witty dialogues make it watchable.Though it would have been much better if director had done some extra job in screenplay but still he has done a good job to come up with such an entertainer as he has mastered the skill.

(2) An Acting --: As far as acting is concerned, Govinda stands out among all with his acting and comic timing as always but still he is not at his best. Salmankhan also accompanied him well and showed his screen presence with his personality. Again he has given good example by accepting role with Govinda as with Amitabh in "Baghbaan". Katrina looks pretty and suites with the role very well. Lara acted well but lacking in glamour as per need of the role. Rajpal Yadav also acted well as "Chota Don" and put in some humour.

(3) Music and Songs --: All five songs of the movie are good in one or another way. Sajid-Wajid has given a good music album. Title song is a well-made class song. "Dupatta" song is well-choreographed good dance number. "Soni De Nakhre" and O My Love" are also good dance numbers. " Maria" song is also a good duet song. All good singers of today such as Udit Narayan, Shaan, Sonu Nigam, Kunal Ganjawala, Sunidhi Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal and others have given good justice. Songs are also well choreographed in the movie.

(4) Improvements --: Though movie is a good entertainer but still it has some drawbacks. Screenplay is the major fault in the movie. I don't think copying from Hollywood is wrong idea but it needs some additional work to make it perfect Bollywood filmy story. Lara Dutta acted well but somehow she doesn't add glamour to the role at the moment as per requirement. So she would have been replaced with other actress. The whole episode of child artist is boring and so it would have been changed with some other story line.

(5) Summary --: Movie is good to watch for Govinda's comic timing, for chemistry between Salman-Govinda and for very good songs. Just don't look for logic and leave your brain at home as per always said for David Dhawan movie. The entire movie is good to watch for entertainment and to have some laughter. Don't forget to get bonus (laughter) in the end.I would give it 6/10.

One can expect a lot from David Dhawan's films. He has directed some of the funniest movies of bollywood. Here comes his another comedy flick.

This film is based on movie Hitch. But you won't find much similarity, since Partner is very bollywood type movie.

Some of the scenes are direct copy from Hitch. Salman Khan is the love guru and Govida comes to love guru to seek his advice to win the girl of his dreams. Partner has its moments. Some are stupid but some are rather funny.

Overall if you are looking for some good laugh and don't like to think much about what's going on in the film then go and watch this movie.

I would give this 6/10. Would have given more if some of the annoying scenes weren't in the movie.

Very Funny Movie. The funniest character I liked most Choute Don. The director is really intelligent. We also liked Salman & Govinda. As usual, Govinda is always funny as usual....hahahaha...
