Director
Ashwini
Chaudhary's
latest
film
Jodi
Breakers
is
an
unusual
romantic
comedy
of
unusual
pair
R
Madhavan
and
Bipasha
Basu.
The
movie
has
all
essential
masala
elements
for
the
film
goers.
The
movie
is
different
from
other
Hindi
films.
Majority
of
Bollywood
movies
are
about
people
falling
in
love,
but
this
one
is
about
a
pair
that
separates
people.
Jodi
Breakers
is
a
love
story
of
home
breakers.
Brilliant
performances
by
Madhavan
and
Bipasha
Basu
are
the
major
highlights
of
the
film.
Salim
and
Sulaiman's
music,
camera
work,
Omi
Vaidya's
wonderful
comic
timing,
good
script,
clever
and
crisp
dialogues
and
beautiful
locations
of
Greece
are
its
other
attractions.
What
spoil
the
beauty
of
the
film
are
predictability
and
lack
of
freshness
in
the
second
half,
and
poor
editing.
The
movie
is
all
about
dysfunctional
relationships,
which
eventually
lead
to
break
ups.
The
big
strengths
of
Jodi
Breakers
are
its
script
and
wonderful
dialogues
that
keep
the
story
going.
The
film
starts
as
a
comedy,
but
gradually
morphs
into
romance
and
loses
momentum.
The
suspense
element,
interesting
twists
and
turns
in
the
first
half
keep
viewers
enthralled.
The
movie
goes
predictable
in
the
second
half
and
it
lacks
the
freshness.
Sid
Khanna
(R
Madhavan),
who
has
parted
his
ways
with
his
wife
and
no
longer
believes
in
marriage,
is
a
break-up
specialist,
who
helps
wronged
parties
out
of
bad
relationships.
He
happens
to
meet
and
Sonali
(Bipasha
Basu)
at
Nano"s
(Omi
Vaidya)
pub,
where
he
offers
her
to
become
his
partner
in
his
business
as
a
Jodi
Breaker.
The
duo
runs
a
pretty
good
business
until
they
come
across
a
deal,
which
though
lucrative
turns
their
lives
upside
down.
Sid"s
ex-wife,
Mark
(Milind
Soman),
Maggie
(Dipannita
Sharma)
and
Mark"s
granny
Modanna
(Helen)
are
the
clients
in
this
deal.
What
happens
next
will
form
the
crux
of
the
film.
As
marriage
breaker
Sid,
R
Madhavan
looks
superb
and
he
has
delivered
wonderful
performance.
As
his
business
partner
Shaonali,
Bipasha
Basu
is
also
brilliant.
And
it
is
a
delight
to
watch
the
romantic
moments
between
these
unusual
pair.
The
man
adds
comic
spice
to
their
romance
is
3
Idiots
fame
Omi
Vaidya.
Others
like
Milind
Soman,
Dipannita
Sharma
and
Helen
are
also
good
in
their
respective
roles.
There
are
no
big
attractions
in
the
technical
front.
Salim
and
Sulaiman
Merchant's
music
is
average.
A
romantic
song
and
'Bipasha'
are
good
to
listen.
The
dialogues
sync
well
with
the
theme
of
the
film.
Although
cinematographer
has
beautifully
captured
the
locations
of
Greece,
he
fails
in
sentimental
sequences.
Editing
is
another
big
drawback
of
the
film.
Overall,
Jodi
Breakers
is
good
entertainer
and
you
can
watch
it
at
least
for
superb
acting
of
M
Madhavan
and
Bipasha
Basu.
