Review By Bobby Sing,
Why we keep on repeating ourselves in the name of New Concepts? - DilFilmy.com

Beginning with the inspirational connections, JODI BREAKER takes the idea for its lead couple’s strange profession and its title from a 2010 French film HEARTBREAKER,
but it is not a straight copy as was being said before its release. The
plot no doubt had the potential of making a fine romantic comedy but it
unfortunately doesn’t work at all due to the same old repetitive stuff
which we had earlier whole heartedly appreciated in BAND BAAJA BAARAT,
where we had Wedding Planners instead of Marriage Breakers.
Interestingly, this concept of a team of JODI BREAKERS or Divorce
Specialist might be fresh for many, but as I recall, Govinda played a
similar kind of specialist in his 2009 comedy LIFE PARTNER too which also couldn’t sustain at the box office.
The
unimpressive promos of the film already had me in doubt as they clearly
revealed the whole movie in a single line dialogue. In one of the key
promos, Helen yells at both Madhavan and Bipasha saying “You two were
only the cause of their break-up and now you two only would bring them
together again.” Now this one line only clearly gives away the whole
plot of the film in just a few seconds and I really couldn’t understand
how the director Ashwini Chaudhary could approve such kind of revealing
promo for his film made quite unintelligently. The promo, heavily
publicized at all the leading channels simply ruins the whole surprise
element of the film which could have been easily avoided.
Further
it has a very boring and uneven script which neither allows it to
become an enjoyable sex comedy nor a good romantic film in its both
unimpressive halves. In fact the first half of the film is so
distasteful that one loses all the hope of getting anything interesting
in its later reels. The disappointment continues post intermission too,
as it once again offers those same old rotten love sequences lacking any
freshness. The writers also throw in few weird comedy sequences here
and there to fill in the spaces. But the unpleasant humor in them fails
to do the trick wherein we are shown a Baba Kamdev (referring towards
Baba Ramdev), a sexually psycho wife and few doctors fighting in an
operation theater right in middle of an operation, with the patient
sinking in front of them.
In
the acting department, its again a big letdown since no-one is able to
deliver something exceptional mainly due to its lousy script. Madhavan
looks tired in the whole film with an untidy kind of get-up. Bipasha,
apart from her item song, doesn’t look ravishing as she did in her
previous films. Moreover the chemistry between the two.....more
