    It may earn many more crores than before, but for me its like playing with the innocent loyalty of your millions of fans.

    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 The humor is pretty lifeless and sounds outdated with all 80s kind of jokes which fail to create the required impact.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.

    worse than bad

    unless you have 12 kids or believe in having your own gold elephant then you will not like this film. you know dancing weak looking little guy probably plays for the other team and this freak is the hero. lots of dancing extras. just pure rubbish acting stereotyping at its very worst, talk about how to show a people in a bad light. i have seen many Bollywood films and this goes up there with superman really have to see that one just cause its so bad this film is so bad i want to go to war. well apparently i have to write 10 lines of how much i hate this film yes its really really bad, so bad it gave my neighbour cancer,cause he heard 1 minute of the music,this film caused a zombie attack to be cancelled because they did not want to come back as long as this existed

    sucked big time

    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

    Bodyguard is Salman's show!

    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!

    Worth watching for the ones who like Bollywood

    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.

    • Trivia
      Salman Khan had offered the role of Lovely's father to his good friend Sanjay Dutt, but Sanjay declined, feeling there was not enough of an age difference between them. Later Salman decided to drop that character.
    • Goofs
      In the final fighting scene where Lovely Singh (Salman Khan) kills Ranjan Mhatre (Mahesh Manjrekar), he is shown topless, but after this scene he is shown carrying Divya S. Rana (Kareena Kapoor) while wearing a black shirt. How could he have wore a dry shirt when earlier he dropped it in the water while fighting?
