Life Partner is a Bollywood romantic comedy-drama film from 2009, starring Govinda, Fardeen Khan, and Tusshar Kapoor. The film is directed by Rumi Jaffrey, with Shabbir Ahmed and Kumar Bhatia as the writers. The movie revolves around three friends who have different perceptions and opinions about marriage and relationships.

The film begins with the introduction of the three main characters. Karan (Fardeen Khan) is a successful lawyer who believes in love and marriage. Sanjay (Tusshar Kapoor) is a software engineer who is happy being single and having casual relationships, while Jeet (Govinda) is a divorced businessman who is cynical about love and relationships.

Karan meets Bhaveshree (Genelia D'Souza) and falls in love with her. Bhaveshree is a sweet and innocent girl from a small town who is looking for a life partner. They start dating, but Karan's mother doesn't approve of Bhaveshree and wants Karan to marry his childhood friend, Anjali (Prachi Desai).

On the other hand, Sanjay meets a girl named Anushka (Amrita Rao) on a matrimonial site and starts dating her. But, Anushka is a feminist and doesn't believe in the institution of marriage.

Jeet, who is skeptical about love and relationships, meets a woman named Sheena (Archana Puran Singh) while on a business trip. Sheena is a confident and independent woman who repeatedly tells Jeet that she doesn't need a man in her life.

As the story progresses, each of the characters faces different challenges in their relationships. Karan struggles to convince his mother to accept Bhaveshree, while Sanjay and Anushka's relationship hits a roadblock when Anushka's parents get involved. Meanwhile, Jeet's relationship with Sheena takes an unexpected turn when he finds out about her past.
