Review of the film Life Partner

Review of the film Life Partner

Govinda tested his fortunes in the film Life Partner along with Tushar Kapoor and Fardeen Khan. Director Rumy Jaffery had taken veteran artists and did not experiment with the new comers in the film.

In the film Fardeen Khan had affair with Genelia Desouza. But they never knew whether marriage itself could have cemented the relationship between the two of them. Fardeen Khan’s friend Tushar Kapoor had a different approach in life.

For Tushar Kapoor, arranged marriage had better social recognition than love marriage. He came to know Prachi Desai, but wanted to marry her only if there was approval of her parents and relatives about the marriage. For him understanding between the husband and the wife were not enough for long term bond which could be restored only through the blessings of the relatives of both the spouses.


Govinda played the role of a lawyer who specialized in cases relating to separation. Suits relating to divorces attracted him more than any other cases. He did not believe in the institution of marriage. He meant that the institution of marriage depended on the relationship between the two spouses. If either of them never wanted to compromise, there was no logic for the other spouse to compromise just for maintaining the marital relationship.

The film revolved around the story of the three friends in achieving their goals with their related ideologies. Govinda did well as usual. The script was not strong enough for Tushar Kapoor and Fardeen Khan.


Genelia Desouza did well, but she did not look as gorgeous as Jane Tu Ya Jane Na. In a nutshell the film has ingredients of entertainment, but cannot address the demands of every type of viewers. The film may do average business. The story is not that innovative to make the film superhit.

Happy birthday to Imran Khan.

Happy birthday to Imran Khan.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Imran Khan on 13th January, 2009. Imran Khan, the relative of Amir Khan had created a lasting impression in the minds of teenagers with the performance in his first film Jane Tu Yaa Jane Na.

Amir Khan produced the film keeping in mind the taste of the young generation of viewers. Imran Khan acted opposite Genelia D Souza, who was also another newcomer in the bollywood industry. The film was related to the life of Imran Khan, a rajput whose father Nasirruddin Shah believed in warfare.

His father Nasir died and Imran’s mother never disclosed the identity of his father and asked him to believe in non-violence. Imran was known for his peace-loving attitude in his college. He had an affair with Genelia but he could not say it to her.

Genelia was engaged with an egoistic person who even slapped her before marriage. She decided to go abroad to pursue her higher studies. Imran Khan went to the airport, broke the security over there and brought her on horseback. All the wishes of Nasir to see his son going to jail, riding on horseback, etc., the signs of rajputs, were fulfilled by his son.

The romantic theme of the film was enhanced by melodious and catchy music of AR Rehman. Songs like “kabhi kabhi”, “pappu cant dance”, etc., became the greatest musical hits of the year. The film stands in the list of the greatest hits of 2008.

Furthermore, Imran Khan has all the possibilities of bagging the filmfare best debutant award for his performance in 2008. Eve his other film Kidnap had a unique storyline. Imran Khan accepted the challenging of playing a negative role after one film, which other actors in his place would not have accepted.

He had kidnapped Sanjay Dutt, the father of Minissha Lamba in the film Kidnap, in respect of ransom. Sanjay Dutt communicated with him about the ransom. He was a very influential person and used his resources to track down Imran Khan and free his daughter. The tassle between Sanjay Dutt and Imran Khan created a new dimension for the viewers and it ended with the release of Minissha Lamba.

Although the film did not brig adequate revenue as the viewers these days had not shown much interest in watching action films, Imran Khan’s acting effort in the film was well appreciated by the critics.

The competition in bollywood films in very severe. In that scenario actors like Imran Khan will compel veteran stars like Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Amir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan to do even better in the years to come to remain in competition. Imran Khan has a bright future in bollywood industry.
