Partner: Movie Review

Since I’ve already wasted around 4 hours of my precious time (including travel time to the theatre) on this movie, I don’t want to waste any more of my time writing a lengthy review. And certainly want to save your precious time, by telling you that I didnt quiet like this movie. Yes the movie was that bad….this is the third time in my life that I have hated a movie so very much.

I had some hopes with the movie what with Govinda and Salman Khan together in the remake of Hitch. Now Hitch wasn’t a bad movie and only if David Dhawan had not decided to introduce his own storyline, even Partner would have been fine. However, he did use his brain and what turned out to be was an utter disaster. The movie takes about forty minutes of some seriously inane, D-grade dialogues and sequences, before Salman Khan’s character decides to help Govinda’s character to get the girl of his dreams (Katrina Kaif).

Lara Dutta looked average and like Katrina didn’t have much to contribute to the first half. Chota Don played by Rajpal Yadav had maybe one or two funny lines and was a complete waste. The only scene that I could say did justice to the amount of comedic talent this movie had was when Govinda gets Katrina’s phone number. I really laughed hard in that scene and it was because there were no stupid dialogue in that scene, but just brilliant improvisation by Govinda.

I am still going to watch a Govinda  movie and a Salman Khan movie and any other movie starring Lara Dutta and Katrina….but it’ll take a REALLY strong reason for me to watch another David Dhawan movie. The movie gets only 2 stars for wasting my precious time. I really had expected a lot from this movie but it was an utter disaster. Now which sensible humna being doesnt know what he is supposed to do on his first night after the wedding. God !
