Jodi Breakers – My Review


I don’t know where to start, the movie is wrong on so many levels. Let’s have a little background first.  The movie is about a guy - Sid (Maddy) who gets divorced and gets into the business of getting the unhappy couples out of their marriages and avoiding the alimony by putting the guilty party to test. He himself loses his prized procession (His Beloved Audi) as alimony. In the due course, he meets Sonali (Bipasha) who becomes his business partner and helps him do the same task efficiently.

Now with this background, I think that the subject provided a good masala for a 2 hr movie and the director should be able to do justice to this story-line. However, this one failed miserably.

As mentioned above, the movie suffers from a lot of wrongs. Bad editing, below average music, very very bad dialogues, below average acting coupled with some very sloppy dubbing. These things just put you off right from the beginning and you lose interest.

Bipasha still has not accepted that she cannot act; she is just good in those fitness videos and should stick to those. Maddy, though has done a decent job in acting, is looking fat and I mean really fat and does not deserve this role(Sorry Hai Jee for the Maddy’s Die Hard Fans) and the dialogues are written keeping in mind that you are a 10 year old kid who needs explaining after each and every act.

Omi has been stereotyped into the same 3 Idiot kinda role, though his jokes are somewhat funny, they get to you after sometime and start putting you off. However, he is still the saving grace as others will fail miserably at their job.

The other decent part of the movie is Milind Soman and Dipannita. Milind has done a decent job and Dipannita is looking way better then Bipasha and has done justice to her small however significant role. I really liked her in this movie.

The director thought that putting good looking women in skimpy clothes in the starting song sequences can make the movie run, Well, I am sorry Mr Director, you thought wrong. Today’s intelligent audience is looking for a mature plot with a good storyline and dialogues which gives their intellect some boost. Though, skimpy and scantily clothed women are always welcome :-D, however you can’t run  your movie based on them:-P.

The Greece sequences are picturesque and otherwise screenplay still keeps you a little bit interested and also keeps you distracted from the other non interesting stuff (Read.. Everything Else).

My Verdict – If you have nothing else to do on your weekend, are as so bored sitting at home that you would kill the neighbour's cat, I would still say that kill the cat and stay at home. Dont watch this movie. Yes. Its that bad. (Unless you want to look like the guy on the left :-P)

Rating : 1 Star (Barely)/5 Stars
