Amrita Rao steps into Katrina’s shoes in Life Partner


With Katrina deciding to take a break and holidaying with family in London it was Amrita Rao who had it all going good for her. The Abbas-Mastan film was a big hit and so Katrina was the obvious choice for the sequel Life Partner. However, with Katrina not being able to spare any dates for the shooting it was Amrita Rao who was approached and yes, she readily agreed.

The film would have Amrita being paired opposite none other than Chi Chi ( don’t know how the couple would look…right now it seems a perfect 10…no pun intended guys). Genelia D’souza(Sanjana) and Fardeen Khan(Karan) is the other pair in the film and with the promos already out, the film seems to be surely generating some interest. There is also a third couple in the film – Tusshar Kapoor(Bhavesh) and Prachi Desai. A bunch of youngsters its going to be (will Chi Chi who plays a divorce lawyer Jeet in the film Life Partner too fit this category).

The film as the name suggests is all about Life and your Partner. Marriage - is it important to walk the age old path of love and marriage or is being single the mantra to happiness? Is it important to put the seal of marriage for a relationship to be successful and happiness to creep in? Is arranged marriage the way to go or love marriage the ultimate stop? Is family an important part of any marriage, is it important to be a good daughter-in-law to fit the mould and being your husband's ideal woman? Many films have in the past decided to look at marriage and life from different angles and here is yet another one. Of course, the approach does matter, hope Life Partner is able to bring in a fresh feel to the same giza pita subject. Shaadi ka ladoo jo khaya woh pachtaya jo nahi khaya woh bhi pachtaya. With the institution of marriage being so very important in our society it is yet another Bollywood movie that takes you on an introspection of life and marriage.

It has all the ingredients for the perfect Bollywood masala flick, but whether Life Partner manages to impress the audience only time will tell. With the release date of August 14th fast approaching do we see the seats filling up or is it yet another come and go for Bollywood? It is going to be a release for Genelia D’souza after a long gap and hope she is able to recreate the Jaane Tu Jaane Na magic.Prachi Desai too needs a hit after her Rock On performance to seal her place in Bollywood.
