Bodyguard

Although Indians are not good at action movies, they're really good at romance. This film is a mixture of both of them. Some scenes were not logical, for example when Lovely got private number calls again and again he chould have prevented it. Instead, he kept talking on the phone with that unknown person. Another illogical thing was that how he could fall in love with a person whose face he has never seen. Apart from these, the film is amusing and the music is so touching. It made me cry. Salman Khan is such a good actor. And so is Kareena Kapoor. To sum up, the film is worth watching though there are some illogical parts because it's a romance and Bollywood is really good at romance.

the movie has no story, sorry ass comedy, just some ass kicking, totally not worth watching full of crap movie.Salman's acting sucked as well as Kareena's.even the bullshit story was stolen from south Indian movie.i think Salman want to be the Rajnikant of Bollywood.its as bad as ready,empty plot,no acting,no special direction,crappy script with disturbing songs i don't how did it went blockbuster hit. this is not film making,this is movie is just a humiliation for Bollywood

not worth watching waste of money and time if you love Salman and want to watch this movie just to show your support,then you should be ashamed of your self. go watch "that girl in yellow boots" if you want to see a good film. to conclude bodyguard is just bullshit

With this new EID release of another SALMAN KHAN movie, I would rather like to go for its review in a different mode.

First of all let me tell you that as far as the economics of Film Business goes, this has "A New Blockbuster" written all over it without any doubt. Releasing on a national EID holiday (on Wednesday), with more than 2,500 prints and 10-15 shows in a multiplex, plus full houses in the single screen theaters too, How can such a film can ever flop, irrespective of its content or quality? Considering the phenomenal fan following of the STAR, it is bound to become a success in any case before even the week starts on Monday. So, if you want to know the box office result of the film, then in all possibilities this should make a hat-trick of Hits for Salman, unless the Indian viewers wake up miraculously from their media created sleep.

Now secondly coming to the content of the film, what can one think of the story of a film, with the title BODYGUARD? Obviously it has to be the love story between the Bodyguard and the owner of the body he is guarding. Hence in that respect the film has got nothing new and it remains completely predictable from the first frame itself where the viewer very well knows what he is going to see in the next reels.

So it all comes down to the treatment of the film, which sadly is again below the mark and not at all impressive as expected. Salman's magic is there for sure, but he is not given the perfect action or entertaining sequences which can win over the viewers as compared to his WANTED or DABANGG. The humor is pretty lifeless and sounds outdated with all 80s kind of jokes which fail to create the required impact. However, it seems that the writers were very much aware of its boring plot and therefore they thought of adding an unexpected twist towards its climax. But, believe me, this last reel addition is one of the most bizarre climaxes I have ever seen, written very poorly without any kind of sane, real life vision.

In few words, it's a big disappointment in almost all its departments ranging from the story, script, direction and execution. Though the stars acts convincingly putting best of their efforts, but they alone are not capable of giving you a good time in the theater. Honestly speaking, I enjoyed only the first opening song when SALMAN enters the screen in the entire film and was really thinking why this was chosen to be re-made in Hindi since it had nothing to rave about in its script and content.

Nevertheless, SALMAN is there with all his trademark moves in the film, along with doing another kind hearted gesture for his own real life bodyguard, Tiger. Very sportingly Salman wears the uniform of Tiger's own Security Agency and also makes Tiger dance standing next to him in the opening song. I guess that's one of the reason, why SALLU BHAI is loved all over the world for his numerous similar kind of humble, friendly acts.

To end the review, I would like to tell you that why I almost walked out of the theater while watching BODYGUARD.

The film is directed by the same director, for the third time in a different language. Now who would have done it to satisfy his creative urge? Clearly this was a project undertaken for money and money alone, otherwise what is the charm of directing the same script for the third time? As a real creatively concerned person, the director should have given the project to another talented upcoming director and he could have been the Creative Visualiser of the project to keep an overall look on it.

But coming to the main point of my distress, there is a scene in the film, where people are standing around a pyre on which the dead body is lying covered in white. To be precise, this is a sequence in which they all have gathered to burn one of the main villains of the film, killed by Salman. Now, to my shocking surprise, the scene has been shot by the talented director in HEAVY RAINS. The water is pouring heavily from the sky, the pile of wood is all wet, the body is all wet and here come a person holding a burning mashaal to set the pyre on fire. And as filmy it can get, he also successfully puts the pyre on fire and then we are shown the body burning calmly just in the middle of a heavy rainfall.

If this is what you call direction then Sorry, I am not interested in writing about this film anymore. For me its just like playing with the innocent loyalty of your millions of fans. And all the BIG STARS like SALMAN really need to give it a serious thought.

After Dabbang and Ready, this film is going to be third consecutive feather in Salman's cap.

I felt a little disappointed with the treatment of the movie. The screenplay rushed at an odd pace. The first half was intriguing and speedy, but the second half stammers a bit. Again, in the last 20 minutes, we see a hurricane of emotions.

The movie has all the proportionate elements of a Masala Movie, but I seriously felt a letdown in the humor quotient of the movie. The so- called "Tsunami Singh" was a high disappointment, rather than him, his T Shirts looked funny. The dialogues were above average.

A die-hard Salman fan might get disappointed, but it was a pleasure seeing Salman in a romantic movie; that too; was totally unexpected. Music boosted the movie, due to which, the faulty screenplay gets sidelined.

Salman Khan is in top notch here. Kareena is back in the form. Mahesh Manjrekar, Aditya Pancholi, Raj Babbar are remarkable. Rajat Rawail as Tsunami is a letdown. He acts well sans comic timing.

Editing by Sanjay Sankla is good, he manages to keep the movie on track in spite of futile screenplay. Cinematography by Sejal Shah is marvelous.

Himesh Reshammiya has lived up to the expectations from the fans. Background score from Sandeep Shirodkar is top class.

After watching this one, my recent favorites from Salman goes in the following order. 1. Dabbang 2. Bodyguard 3. Wanted 4. Ready

Finally, watch it! Even if you are not a Salman Khan fan, you wont regret watching this one.

The 'Try to be' remake of Dabangg but its all waste and crappy. One body guard trying to protect our heroine from the villain but there is one thing missing, the Story. There is no story in this film and to make some money out of it main attractions has been all the cast list. I would advice Salman Khan to stop experimenting because Dabangg was one family venture which went all excellently right but this piece of crap is down the drain. No doubt the action is good but acting is very poor and also the story line Two Hollywood movie stories cannot make one Hindi movie. Telegu action sequences OK acceptable. Salman's acting have also deteriorated in this movie other than Dabang. I give only 3 out of 5 to Salmans action and total movie acting rest of the cast sorry to say, made a mess.
