Review - Partner...
David Dhawan comedies are beyond me. At first, it felt good to get away from the daily drudgery that life is and submit myself to the histrionics. But, a few very good laughs in exchange for an arbitrary bunch of stories thrown around a Hollywood chick...
I think MEETU u are BIASED at some places. Dont take it otherwise, but it was`nt SUCH a film that u give it a "2" out of 5 . . .
I could easily give it 3.5/5
GREAT ONE-LINERs & DIALOUGES
GREAT SONGS (UR MY LOVE & PARTNER)
GREAT PERFORMANCE espicially by the KID "ALI"
A perfect TIMEPASS
If having an opinion is being biased, "haan judge-saahab, main mujrim hun" (Yes, My Lord, I plead guilty).
But Ashish, if you are talking about my attitude towards the cast and crew as being biased, I think I deserve more credit there. As I mentioned, I went with an intention to submit to whatever it is they had to offer.
Believe me, I was not looking for rationality. But is some kind of connection, however irrational, too much to ask for between different sub-plots. Is acting/comic timing from the lead cast not a requirement either? As far as, music, I guess you liked it, I did not, there is nothing much we can do about it.
It is really sad when you have 4-5 ideas that you think are cool and just throw them together thinking that the audience is there only for timepass, anyways.
awesome reviews meetu...i've bookmarked this site...now i only read this site for movie reviews...
Thanks, girish!
WTF is going on? I saw the movie twice and I loved it. Am going to buy its original DVD
You people will never appreciate anything new. You just want to watch the old things, old jokes of Munnabhai, comments on Gandhi. Grow up!
Hey RAHUL, it's great that you liked the movie. But, calling Munnabhai jokes old is ,"in my opinion", taking it a bit too far! Anyway, as I always say...to each his own...
Keep visiting!
Great review guys. Here is our attempt at reviewing the movie on our blog. Partner Bollywood movie
Thanks Hetal and Anuja! Interesting site you have out there.
hey guys..... this movie is damn good.... just amazing .......
special thanks to GOVINDA,SALMAN KHAN,KATRINA KAIF,LARA DUTTA....... THEY WERE
JUST OUTSTANDING ...... i almost saw the movie 5 times...... it's really really good...
and it's a good example for the teenagers... because it can help us in flirting .......
ha! ha! ha! we almost felt like flirting in the theater.... and in fact we did..........
watch it guys its fun and specially with your girls.......
film is so boring.....it is not better than Hitch....but Salman and Govinda have a done good job.
Partner was 1 of d grt movie n comedy of d yr 2007.................sallu bhai n lara jodi was d bst.......salman was superb..........govinda was good..........n katrina......was pretty good
HEY GUYS THIS IS GREAT MOVIE . YOU ALL MUST WATCH IT .IT'S SIMPLY TERRIFIC
At first when I heard that this movie was a remake or Hitch, I was pretty pissed, but Oh My God!! This was just AWESOME!!! I mean watching someone with Govinda's physique dance away and be able to minister such impressive choreography and manage to look amazing even though he was standing along side Salman Khan..well it was just great, and I have never really even seen Salman perform so well, the dance moves for ur my love" and "do u wana partner" were just amazing and not 2 mention the other songs as well..i mean we have our own tastes, but really, it would take someone really "numb" to not enjoy this movie..yes scenes were copied but what our indian actors were able to offer, haha, Mr Smith and Eva Mendes were'nt able to show... I have been watching this movie from last week and becoz i love dancing and music, I have been watching the dance sequences nearly every nite!!!!Hail Govinda and Salman Jodi!!!
This was a great movie. Very funny..
HEY GUYZ........!
THIS MOVIE WAS DAM DAM GUD I SAW THAT MOVIE MORE THEN 20 TIMES . THIS
MOVIE SONGS WERE AMAZING I LOVE ALL THAT SONGS IS REALLY GUD GOVINDA
LUKING REALLY COOL I LUV U ................
This was a great movie. Very funny..
After catching the music video of "Do you wanna partner" on YouTube, I had to find out what this film was all about. One week later and I have already purchased the movie as a download and a dvd, bought & downloaded the soundtrack, downloaded wallpapers and still can't get enough!! It's very refreshing to watch something with 'charm.' For me, a lot of it has to do with Govinda who is charismatic, but the music & dance moves are incredible.
Who is this meetu? I am not questioning his/her/it's intellect. What I am actually trying to say is that why do you need to use your intellect to see a Hindi movie? When I pay Rs. 120, I want to forget my daily grind of life and have a few laughs - which is what David Dhawan movies provide. They may not be "intellectual" movies which the highly Bollywood-illiterate meetu talks about.
Manish, that's the point I was trying to make. Even though, I kept my intellect at bay, I did not enjoy the movie.
oh-no, don't abuse me by calling me "bollywood-illiterate" and highly at that! Like in food, the masala in a masala movie needs to be of the right quality to make the dish enjoyable.
great music and movie
