Partner (2007)

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

A Masterpiece!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

David Dhawan is one of those directors who provides masala entertainers in his style and after his early films which didn't work, his comedy brought him several hits though a few craps. David Dhawan is known for copying films from Hollywood and this statement is true. But so what, even Abbas Mustan copies films and they seem to click at the box office. Anyways, this film isn't that bad but the problem is it get's too silly at parts which is a big headache. Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya was somewhat similar to this but this is far better than that though that has less silly ingredients but all these films are far better than Rascals David Dhawan's latest which was a cheap erotic comedy. Coming to this film, it is about Prem(Salman Khan) who's profession is bringing lovers together and he is called the love guru. But, he is at first reluctant to help Bhaskar(Govinda) patched up with the girl of his dream the multi millionaire's daughter Priya(Katrina Kaif) but later agrees to help him. The rest of the film is about how Prem gets Bhaskar and Priya together and how he gets his love Naina(Lara Dutta) also. The film is good and provides several laughs. But some portions like the baby missile thing was absolutely silly, the airport scenes were average but the rest seemed to be funny. The Sweety Se Pyaar movie they were watching in the hall where the guy imitates Aamir Khan is damn funny. The ending is a bit prolonged and the honeymoon thing is sort of overdone. But, the film on the whole is actually not as bad as everyone says. Salman Khan plays the same character he has played a million times and his acting is actually average he is good when he's delivering dialogues but his emotional scenes need working just like Sunil Shetty but he's not that bad. Lara Dutta is OK, she was better in Challo Dilli. Katrina Kaif is pretty but she is better in her films nowadays and not back then in 2007 when she was sort of still a newcomer. The rest provide good support and fill the bill. The songs are good but Soni De Nakhare is hilarious, Govinda doesn't know how to dance does he LOL. Overall, not a bad film it was a super hit and it is a full entertainer people will enjoy this even though it's silly.

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!!!:)

First of all let us discuss about the story. It is a copy of the movie "Hitch" with an added Indian Flavor to it. One guy, who is a Love guru, and another man who is seemingly a sucker when it comes to ladies, and how this seemingly sucker becomes a charmer with the help of the love guru forms the story. Salman Khan is the love guru, and Govinda is the lame guy.Now coming to artists' performance, Salman Khan overacts throughout the movie, he tries to be funny, but fails big time. You can see Salman shouting throughout the movie, no real acting is seen in his performance. Govinda pairs opposite Katrina Kaif(Oh, my god, she is one heck of a girl. A real Beauty)is in real life a 50 year old dude, and Katrina is a girl in her early twenties. In the movie Govinda looks like Grandpa of Katrina Kaif. What a pity! Coming to Execution of the movie. This movie feels like a B-Movie, and a poor imitation of the movie Hitch. Where Hitch looks like a movie with a purpose and depth, this movie is shallow and purposeless, nowhere there is justification or clarity.Just forget this movie, for it is nothing but boring, typical Bollywood fare. Actually I give 3/10 because this is the lowest I go.

Soon after this movie was released,Salman Khan was handed over a 6 Year Imprisonment.(Read further to know why am i mentioning this.)And i heaved a sigh of relief.Not that i was happy that he got jail for something which because he was a celeb but i was happy cus this meant No more Salman Khan movies,no more his histrionics and no more over hyped Acting(read Overacting).This movie made no sense whatsoever. The scene where the kid belonging to one of the family makes a rocket which was voice activated .According to the movie script it would chase anyone.But ultimately it finds only Salman Khan Bare Chested. Well this is what happened.The Rocked gets activated in another foolish way and you have to have an IQ of .001 to believe that. Then it chases Salman Khan ,who was on his water scooter and the chase continues unless he is done with all the possible stunts he could show to foolish audience. (In my regard all those people who have given this movie 5 and above ,unless they are paid to do that.)Another of breath taking ,unbelievable scene was at the end when all the arrangements about the marriage is made and Salman Khan with Govinda in Disguise comes and stall the marriage by another of those highly unwanted songs .Later on even though everything is done and ready a mere confession of govinda and Katrina Kaif to katrina's Father and Bingo . Everything is fine and Govinda marries Kartina....This made me wonder if convincing was so easy why did not they do that and tortured us for so many hours and wasted my Money.This movie is must avoid and don't even think it had any scene worth watching . The plot is way too disconnected with characters popping from no where and ultimately vanishing..for ex Choota don...What a waste of characters.After this movie i took a pledge that i would not watch Salman khan Movies for the rest of my life unless it wins an Oskar...(hahahah...which means i would never watch)
