PARTNER - MOVIE REVIEW

HE SAID:

This is a surprisingly good movie. One would not have expected such quality from looking at the cheesy publicity materials. Although loosely based on the English movie Hitch, this Hindi adaptation has worked exceedingly well.

The story is loose but funny. Salman Khan, who I have never considered as a serious actor, has proved yet again that comedy is his strength. Govinda is awesome as the bumbling middle aged man in love with a beautiful millionaire. Lara Dutta has got to be the most underrated actress in Hindi cinema. She gives a scintillating performance as a single mother. Katrina Kaif is wooden and has no talent whatsoever.

The dialogs are actually poem verses. The songs are jaunty Bhangra-pop.

Overall, a very enjoyable film.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 7.

SHE SAID:

This is an OK movie. Nothing to rave about. The Salman - Govinda combination works out well for comedy purposes. The heroines are just eye-candy. The music is upbeat and easily forgettable. The dialogs are difficult to follow.

I would not remember this movie 3 months from now.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 4.
