Mumbai: Rumi Jaffery’s multistarrer flick ‘Life Partner’, which released all over this Friday, is nothing but another terrible attempt at comedy by the director after his recent debacle ‘God Tussi Great Ho’. Remember! ‘Life Partner’ is basically the story of two couples Fardeen Khan-Genelia D’Souza and Tusshar Kapoor-Prachi Desai. Karan (Fardeen Khan) and Sanjana (Genelia D’Souza) are firm believers of love marriage. Their friend Bhavesh (Tusshar Kapoor) goes in for an arranged one with Prachi (Prachi Desai). Soon, both the couples get irritated with their married lives and decide to go in for a divorce, and to help them enters a divorce lawyer, Jeet (Govinda). And what gets them to re-affirm their faith in the institution of marriage is what the rest of the film all about. Govinda has again managed to add his perfect comic timing to the character of a lawyer apparently loves to break marriages. Tusshar Kapoor too has done justice to the role with his goofy comic act. But most of the jokes in the film are not even close to funny and are rather silly. Fardeen, as usual, seems to be trying hard to be funny but tends to get too loud. Prachi Desai plays the progressive Indian bahu-straight out of her TV serial days. Genelia seems to be in an urgent need to work on her dialogue delivery. On the whole, this one can surely be avoided. Rating: One cheer for ‘Life Partner’!
