Partner
Partner is the Bollywood reincarnation of Hitch, in a way that doesn't resemble Hitch. A Bollywood Nerd named Bhaskar falls head-over-heels in love with his beautiful boss, and asks the "Love Guru" Prem for help to woo her. There's lots of singing and dancing, Slapstick, and random elements that make this movie.
Tropes used in Partner include:
- Almost Kiss
- Always Camp: Wedding planners
- Arranged Marriage
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: Nina and Prem
- Beta Couple: Prem and Nina
- The Blind Leading the Blind: Prem starts out as a successful love guru, but he can't give good advice when he has his own problems.

- Faux Yay: Bhaskar to the wedding planner
- Good Bad Translation: The English subtitles have some weird lines such as "Move the pillow, it is heavy" when the couple is about to kiss.
