Bodyguard

Bodyguard directed by Siddique is average.

The movie is better than Salman 's previous movie READY but not as good as DABANGG or WANTED.

The movie starts off well,has an absorbing middle and an lengthy ending,which makes you bored.

Story:-Lovely Singh(Salman Khan),is a bodyguard.And now he has been appointed to guard Divya(Kareena Kapoor),the daughter of Sartaj Rana(Raj Babbar),the king of a town Jaisingpur.the mafia brothers Ranjan Mhatre(Mahesh Manjrekar) and Vikrant Mhatre(Aditya Pancholi) seek revenge against Lovely Singh since he killed one of their men.While Divya wants to get rid of Lovely,she plans to have a fake-affair with him through a phone.In the mean-time of the fake-affair,she gets to know his real-identity and then falls in love with him.

The storyline is okay.

The writing is half-baked.The first half is entertaining,while the second hour is jarring.

The music is alright with the title track,Teri Meri and Desi Beat being icing on the cake.I Love You is slow but sweet.

The action sequences are like those South-Indian movies where the hero will fly in the air,jump over the trains and punch him twice-thrice.

Salman Khan is the star of the show.No doubts!Be his dialog delivery or his stunt performance.He wins your heart.Really,he is the King of Masses. Kareena Kapoor acts okay.Raj Babbar is fine.Aditya Pancholi is excellent.Mahesh Manjrekar repeats his usual act.Hazel Keech is good.Rajat Rawail as Tsunami is funny. Katrina Kaif looks amazing in the tittle track.

All in all,Bodyguard is for Salman fans!The fans who worship him!

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.

Bodyguard seems to be a follow up of Dabbang and Ready, Salman Khan's previous blockbuster but it seems a more messy mash up of these earlier versions. The film didn't show any promise neither from its trailer neither when the reel starts rolling. As the painfully hilarious proceedings go on there is no way you can concentrate except to wonder how far Salman's star power is going to drag this film. It is evident that the director has put all his test on Salman and played a rather bold step. Not surprisingly the movie will be a crowd pleasure for many a viewer but there a re many who will be fatigued by its lack of plot and tactless story telling.

Meant to be a love story the movie is as predictable as a five year old can imagine. But the most painful scenes are the incessant annoying jokes from the side characters and the naive portrayal of the lead character.May be fat jokes were never this bad. In this male star power driven film there is definitely no space for Kareena Kapoor to show her talent. Whatever but as time passes by and peril hovers on the female lead the action scenes we are fed is not that brilliant too. As many previous films have proved that hero worship is not bad for box office but at least they should be made credible enough for all to believe or at best convincing. But no Bodyguard is a far cry from this and instead we get is a lot of crappy and cheap special effects. And the last and the most important scene of unbuttoning Salman's shirt was by far the worst creativity anyone can come up with. Its really sad that after so much of crazy mishaps there was some substance at the climax of the film. Though the writing at the climax should be praised it is too less an too little after two hours of stupidity.

At least Salman's charisma works enough for you to wait till the end. Its surprising that a single performance can put such leverage to a film as such. And a special applaud to the song 'Teri Meri' which was much better than all other mediocre tracks. At the end it doesn't seem fair that a single star and a single song put so many audiences through the film. May be such case shouldn't be criticized rather appraised for such a daring feat.

Starting from Wanted, Salman started a special genre of movies which stars a hero which is Crazy, Insane, carries a unique attitude and style of doing things, have a punch line always with him, moves his body in a fashion, no one ever did and creates an aura around him, which overshadows all the other characters in the movie. After Dabang and Ready which just manages to maintain this, Bodyguard takes the Wanted tradition to a new height, spare the ending of the movie. Salman as a Bodyguard named Lovely Singh has a bookish and sincere approach to his job with all the strange rules, which certainly brings smile on your lips. His "Ahsaan" dialog, his breathing biceps as a dance step and his ruthless beating black and blue to the Gundas surely makes his fans jumping on their seats.

The movie starts with a sensational entry followed by a blasting action sequence of Salman. From the very beginning movie creates its own aura that continues in spite of few longer romantic sequences until movie reaches to last 15 mins. After Salman finishes and breaks down all the possible danger to Karina it was all well taken by the audience, whistling, applauding and shouting in praise and madness.

Nobody would have even imagined about such a pathetic ending of a nicely directed movie by Mr. Siddique which seemed to be handed over to some other writer for its ending and director for last few scenes. The end of the movie can very well be the last fighting sequence and everybody in the theater would have gone back with dancing legs, a smile and a tickle about such a Strange but lovable stud hero. Movie completely lose its track in its last 15 mins. Why these twists and turns when movie is actually not intended to be made in such a way.

Not to forget, mentioning the marvelous action in the movie which undoubtedly is the best in bollywood in last decade. Music as well as background score is also a positive for the movie. Overall it was again a Sallu movie and quite and entertaining one.

Cut this ending and release it again with an alternate one.

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.
