Often heard the quote "Never judge a book by its cover", but sometimes we do judge and the judgment comes out to be correct. Similar is the case with Rumy Jafferey's so-called "comedy flick" Life Partner. The movie title and its star cast made it already clear that it’s a deliberate attempt to rehash life-after-marriage drama. As expected, Life Partner is just another movie which has neither innovative concept, nor outstanding casting. However, a few gags are entertaining enough to make you laugh for a while. But yes, it can be called irksome comedy. The story is spun around the lives of two couples - one believing in love marriage and the other believing in arranged.

 

Karan (Fardeen Khan) and Sanjana (Genelia), who are madly in love with each other, get married to know that all marriages (both love and arranged) are same. Bhavesh (Tusshar Kapoor) finds his dream-girl in Prachi (Prachi Desai), who also comes with the family approval tag. After marriage Sanjana enjoys partying herself, while the audience feel as poor as Karan. Her constant nagging leaves Karan, merely a tortured husband. On the other hand, Prachi comes into a conservative family where traditions get ruined if she has separate TV in her bedroom.

 

All of a sudden in the second part of the movie, the plot requires to be fed with a divorce and thus, the life partners took the help of an accomplished divorce lawyer Jeet (Govinda). Up till now, the viewers could have understood the slow pace of the screenplay, but the climax is surprisingly swift in which couples reunion is shown in hardly any time. Another hurried sequence put an item-girl (Amrita Rao), who steals the heart of unromantic Jeet in next to no time, and the couple finds respite in marriage. The humour of the film is quite unexciting and calculating, which make you foresee each sequence before it’s actually played onscreen.
