Since the time Indra Kumar turned director with Dil, he has directed all his films himself. The only exception is, of course, his next release Daddy Cool, which is helmed by K. Murali Mohan Rao. "Murali has directed several enjoyable entertainers in the past. I've always wanted to work with him some day. Plus, I wanted to sit on the backseat and let someone else call the shots," Indra Kumar tells me.But, ironically, Murali has never ever directed a comic fare. So was the decision right? "I know him as a person and I've realized that his wisecracks are truly funny. Now when I look back, I realize Murali's done as good a job as I would've, had I directed Daddy Cool," the veteran states.

Direction : Rumi JafferyCast : Fardeen Khan, Tusshar Kapoor, Govinda, Genelia Dsouza, Prachi Desai, Anupam Kher, Amrita Rao There's so much negativity surrounding Life Partner, even though you don't have a clue about its content/material. Even though you have no inkling what it has to offer. Also, the buzz is clearly missing.But, never judge a book by its cover. To answer the questions I raised at the very outset, let me say that Life Partner isn't innovative or ground-breaking, but it's interesting and entertaining. One may assume that it's a nonsensical comedy, but it isn't. Instead, it's a 'family film' [a popular term for socials/paarivaarik films within the industry]. It gives you a sneak peak into the lives of two couples -- one, who believes in love marriage and the other, who believes in arranged marriage.
