Partner a bollycat of Hitch
The only thing different (or missing) here was not using a person's name for the title. Partner... Why not Ajay, Kumar or Salman? Wouldn't that be more befitting for this Hitch copy? Anyway, as far the two movies are concerned, they both follow a dating
guru who guarantees a girl for losers like Govinda or Kevin James. Added is the usual pinch of song and dance according to taste.
But there's another thing that's seems unworldly for this case: Hollywood is actually suing - or thinking about suing - the makers of Partner. We believe this is a major shift in Hollywood's policy towards unofficial Bollywood remakes. And the biggest reason is Bollywood's ever growing market overseas. Think about it, Sony would make much more money (they're making nothing now!) if the the producers of Partner had actually paid Sony to do a remake, or better yet Sony Pictures India had done it on it's own? That's a no brainer. We don't really expect Bollywood producers to touch their ears and stop
copying just yet though... I mean there are so many good Hollywood
movies they are looking forward to Hat tip: Curry Bear & Jerry M.
