The story revolves around two young couples and their
lawyer friend. When both the married couples face rough
times, their lawyer friend who specializes in divorce
cases, comes to their help.
Bhavesh Patel's (Tushaar Kapoor) ideology - "
Dating?.... My marriage will be arranged and I'll love
my wife no matter what..."
Bhavesh is an obedient son, who will never go against
his family's wishes. He staunchly supports monogamy, and
has all his romance reserved for his would be wife. His
belied - ' Marriages are made in heaven and arranged on
earth'. The one thing that he is absolutely sure of is
the success of his marriage. After all, arranged
marriages have had a proven track record in his
family..'Prachi
Jadeja (Prachi Desai) is a girl with strength, dignity
and poise. A home-maker who cares for the people around
her, she will always stand by the commitments she makes
and the decisions she takes. Her expectations from a
life partner are that he should be supportive,
understanding and true to his words.
Karan and Sanjana are madly
in love with each other, and marriage is the logical
next step for them. While Karan keeps pursuing the
proposal, Sanjana is waiting for the right moment. And
this right moment just suddenly materializes at
Bhavesh's wedding in India.
But life after marriage isn't exactly what either of
them had expected it to be. Karan transitions into a
husband quite effortlessly, but Sanjana wants to be the
carefree 'party-hard' girl-friend that she used to be.
Their sizzling chemistry is over and have problems after
marriage.
Enter Jeet Oberoi (Govinda)
who is a divorce lawyer extraordinaire, who has the
knack to separate even two stone statues. The ladies
can't resist his charm or his irreverent wit. He does
not believe in spending his life with just his loved
one. He believes in spending time with many loved ones.
Single women are just not his style, he would rather
spend his time "consoling" women he has just helped...
to get divorced! After all they need SOMEONE to help
them through this emotional phase.

Bhavesh and Prachi's marriage has all that it takes for a
successful marriage... the parental blessings, a
monogamous husband and an ideal wife. But is this enough?
Bhavesh's somewhat conservative parents stifle Prachi, who
is progressive and assertive in nature. He gets caught
between his loving wife and doting parents - confused and
undecided whom he should side. His family or his wife??
While Karan Malhotra (Fardeen Khan) believes "Love
marriage is the perfect bet..."
Karan believes that love marriages are the way to go.
After all if you know each and everything about your
partner before settling down with her, how could anything
go wrong. His lady means the world to him.
Sanjana Jugran (Genelia
D'Souza) believes that marriage is just the official union
between two people who have already chosen to spend their
lives together. Change in marital status doesn't signify a
personality makeover for her. She would rather remain the
eternal girl-friend, even after marriage...
Jeet's philosophy in life - "Marriage are you nuts?... Do
you know why the divorce rate is so high?...
Because people get married..."
Govinda is in terrific form and Fardeen Khan is very
likable. Tusshar Kapoor pitches a remarkable performance
yet again. He looks so perfect for his part. He is nice.
Genelia D'Souza sizzles on the screen and Prachi Desai is
realistic as the true Indian wife trying her best to
adjust with her in-laws.
Life Partner mildly entertains with its comedy which comes
along with preaching the meaning of marriage and its
tradition.
