Partner

Partner
2007
4/5 stars

Prem (Salman Khan) is a Love Guru, helping the less prepossessing men to marry the women they love. When Bhaskar Chaudhary (Govinda) comes to him for help to win the heart of his boss (played by Katrina Kaif), Prem accepts a near impossible challenge. Meanwhile, Prem himself falls in love with Naina (Lara Dutta), who resists all his attempts to woe her.

This is a sweet and funny movie. Khan is charming and plays his role well. Govinda is hilarious, and does an excellent job. The chemistry between the two is great. Kaif's character is rather one dimensional, whether the fault of the role or the actress is uncertain. Dutta is cute and personable as Khan's love interest. The music is good, with average choreography. Costumes and filmography are great.

This movie would be a 5 star one, but for the plot line with the Don. That either needed to be eliminated or expanded. It just didn't work well the way it was.

Otherwise, Partner is a fun movie, with laugh-out-loud moments that is worth watching more than once.
