    Good topic but bad presentation

    As per the title the movie supposed to show the relationship, understanding and problems between Couples. Topic was really very interesting but Director fails to show the perfect picture of understanding or problems between couples. This is basically story of two friends one of them is fardeen (a rocking guy and sincere employee) whose life goes upside down when he marries his girlfriend Genelia (a rich girl, whose father can do anything for her). Chemistry between these two are really amazing. Other is Tushar (who belongs to a traditional family) who marries Prachi Desai (a mature and well educated girl), tushar got stuck between traditional value of his family and modern living of her wife. There is also an Divorce lawyer Jeet (Govinda), friend of these two, who always gives them suggestion to stay away from marriage. Acting wise Fardeen and Genelia was good and entertaining, Tushar was at his worst, though I am typical tushar fan, but I really hated his work here, Prachi was okay, Govinda again shines in such a small role, he did his best to make us laugh. He is still the best comedian. I will rate this 6/10

    very good family entertainer highlighting current post marriage problems and solutions

    It is a great entertainer giving very good message on marriage and relationship. All the lead actors have done a great job. It is not a good idea to compare any movie with other movie instead we should watch any movie as per it's genre and how it has been presented for it's target audience. Life partner is well made entertaining movie which I greatly enjoyed watching in the theatre. I strongly recommend this movie to all as it is full of fun and entertainment with a good message for everybody. If you haven't seen it in the theatre then you are missing the chance to have great fun and full entertainment with your family which is hard to find.

    I am the person who know what is the class as per my improved taste and I always enjoyed whenever such movie is there while on the other side I am also the person who always enjoy the films which appeals to the mass audiences and which is termed as typical bollywood film. Life Partner is a typical bollywood family entertainer which has been succeeded in its goal as to enlighten post marriage problems and also give message about how to deal with such problems arises in the post marriage life of different type of marriage by providing good entertainment.

    As far as acting is concerned Govinda is the actor who comes after amitabh. He is such a talented Indian actor who can do any type of act with ease and can give real effect to the any scene. Whenever he present on the screen you are sure to be entertained provided he has been given the chance to act and not being restricted like they did in Bhagam Bhag. Here Govinda is superb and not being restricted. I greatly enjoyed his presence and his act in this movie. Fardeen khan and Genelia impressed with their act. Tushaar kapoor and Prachi desai played their part very well. The culmination is also very good and it turned out to be a complete bollywood entertainer having full entertainment and fun filled experience.

    One Time Watch...

    Rumi Jaffery made his directorial debut with the disappointing'God Tussi Great Ho', thankfully his 2nd outing 'Life Partner' doesn't remind of his previous work.

    First things first: Don't watch 'Life Partner' with huge expectations, chances r you might turn it off. If you watch it with limited expectations, your bound to have a good time... to an extend!

    The first hour doesn't work, that's mainly because the story hardly moves. The film takes off when Prachi Desai enters the scene. The second hour is interesting and has a silly, but gripping climax.

    The music is good, with every song keeping the mood alive. While the Rumi Jaffery's writing is faulty at times. As a director, he does what his script demands.

    Performance-wise: Prachi Desai, undoubtedly is the life of 'Life Partner'. She looks damn cute and delivers a natural performance from scene A to Z. The second in command is Fardeen, who excels throughout. Tusshar is decent, while Genelia D'Souza hams. Anupam Kher, Vikram Gokhale and Darshan Jariwala are perfect in their parts. Veteran Comedian Jagdeep does a hilarious cameo as Fardeen's ill client. Amrita Rao is wasted. And last but not the least Govinda. He's first-rate in an extended special appearance.

    On the whole 'Life Partner' may not be the best film to watch on a Sunday, but not the worst either! Average.

    Okay

    Rumi Jaffrey after the disaster GTGH last year returns with a family type comedy film

    The film isn't a comedy as the promos showed instead it tries to balance a comedy and a relationship based comedy

    The film starts off with some comedy scenes but actually gets better when the characters get married and many of the gags work Tusshar- Prachi episode though straight out of TV serials yet works as it looks real while Fardeen- Genelia episode is also handled well though at times the comedy is too much The film however ends very badly as if the director wanted to hurry up the film The Amrita Rao episode looks too sudden and also the end looks too contrived

    Rumi Jaffrey seems to have improved a bit Music is okay

    Amongst actors Govinda works till he plays a casanova it doesn't suit him and also his styling looks made up yet he does a good job in his short role Fardeen Khan though too loud and winny at times does a good job in his role, he is improving Tusshar too though does annoy with his expressions in comic scenes does well in serious portions Prachi is a natural, maybe because of her experience playing such roles on the idiot box Genelia however goes OTT and shreiks so badly with her annoying voice she makes JTYJN performance look a classic Amongst rest Anupam Kher is okay, Darshan Jariwala is very good Vikram Gokhale is likable

    Amazing and Hilarious!

    The film portrays the various stages of relationships, from courtship to marriage, and highlights the importance of trust, love, and understanding in a relationship. The movie is filled with hilarious moments and witty dialogues that keep the audience entertained throughout.

    The performances of the cast are top-notch, with each actor delivering their best. Govinda's comic timing is impeccable, while Fardeen Khan and Genelia D'Souza's chemistry is.

    Overall, "Life Partner" is a funny, heartwarming, and entertaining movie that can be enjoyed by audiences of all ages. It's a perfect film to watch with family and friends, and it will leave you with a smile on your face.

      The girl with which Tushar Kapoor (Bhawesh) was sleeping on the bed after the song Kuke Kuke wasn't able so understand a word of English that Tushar Kapoor spoke, because she was Russian. However, in the scene where Jeet was making out with her new client, two of his older clients also arrived at the moment. When Sanjana walked up to them and told that Jeet was cheating on them, the same Russian girl is able to understand everything which was spoken to her in English.
