Loins of Punjab ? Resounding Yes!

Movie: Loins of Punjab Presents Compliment the user
Overall Rating
Story
Cast Performance
Cinematography
Cast: Shabana Azmi, Ayesha Dharkar, Ajay Naidu, Seema Rehmani and Jameel Khan.
Director: Manish AcharyaLOP is a spoof on all the talent hunt competitions suddenly springing up all over the world. Only this one makes you laugh this hard that you are actually begging for it to stop! The movie is all about a Desi Idol competition organized in a New Jersey motel by a company called Loins of Punjab by a completely over the top and crass event organizer played by Jameel Khan. The man has taken flamboyance to a whole new level and never misses a moment to have his audience laughing at his act! The contestants consists are very well thought out characters that will leave you thinking (and if you are like us then even giggling!) long after you have left the theatre. From a Rita Kapoor (Shabana Azmi) - a typical desi socialite to Turbanotorious B.D.G (Naidu) - a gay rapper, Sania Rahman (Seema) - a wannabe Bollywood actress who has problems speaking Hindi, Preeti Patel (Ishita Sharma) who brings with her the entire Patel family to American Josh (Michael Raimondi) who is highly fascinated by the Indian culture all of these characters make the entire movie so enjoyable that you almost feel like hitting rewind!

Well this movie is attracting a lot of criticism and appreciation at the same time..

My take on this movie is that it is " a light hearted slap stick comedy”

Yes there is no logic in it bt then ur nt supposed to apply or expect one in David Dhawan's flick! And ‘Partner’, his comeback film after a long gap does carry a good dose of comedy

Its a good copy of Hitch.. but the jokes and the gags have a desi, street flavour. The music by Sajid Wajid is funky and goes well with the film’s theme. And there are some dialogues that are indeed hilarious.

Govinda as famous fr his comedy has done a good job, this is his come back movie and he has done justice to bhaskar's role. a  chubby, bespectacled dreamer  who is in love with his stunningly beautiful boss, Priya (Katrina Kaif), a multi-millionaire heiress of Jaisingh group of industries, giving the right expressions and inquisitiveness of a first time lover He is a good actor and a fabulous dancer( which he has proved again in this movie) and his expressions are just too good .

Salman khan who was born to be a love guru suits his role. He was born among girls, grew up among girls and now gives advice and guidance to people about how to woo girls.

The comedy in the dialogues is in rhyme. For instance when Govinda finds Salman with his (Govinda’s) girlfriend on a boat, he says Tu meri girlfriend ka saiyaan ban ke, naiiya ke upar, chaiyya chaiyya kar raha ha Or in another scene when Govinda forgets to wear his pants, Salman says: “Dude, you’re practically nude”. Or when Govinda gets too happy he begins weeping and exclaims: Itni Khushi!.The film has many more hilarious dialogues like these with rhyming words.

There is no doubt about the fact that the chemistry between Govinda and Salman is awesome. However, Govinda dominates the movie scene simply because of his superb comic timing. Salman, too, gives a few moments of laughter, but he is no match for his chubby partner.

The ladies do not have much to do in this film. Yet, Katrina Kaif looks mesmerizingly beautiful. Lara Dutta plays her part well. Rajpal Yadav in a spoof of SRK’s don is okay..

The best sequence of ‘Partner’ comes in the end, when both Govinda and Salman are having their honeymoon in adjacent rooms. In this final sequence comes the comedy that leaves the audience in splits.
