Bodygaurd - Complete Entertainer
"A Fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a BODYGUARD " Bruce Lee
Just few years back people from North make fun of South Indian Films, due to their loud acting, over the top expressions, high action sequences, senior actors dance with young actress & so on. But today it is very surprising to see that most of the recent movies made in Bollywood are blatantly copied or plagiarized from the south movies. Some of the directors simply remake & some even go to the extent of copying the original movie scene-by-scene.
Most of the recent hit movies in the Bollywood are inspired, copied or remake of South Movies. Anyhow after watching Salman’s Wanted, Dabangg & Ready my expectations on Bodyguard were on an all-time high. One can love him or hate him, but no one can ignore him. Salman Khan is a man of all seasons. Despite several controversies, he is still rules the roost in Bollywood.
Bodyguard is a remake of the Malayalam movie of the same title, which had Dileep & Navantara in the leads, while the movie was also made in Tamil as Kaavalan by the same director Siddque with Vijay & Asin in the leads.
The movie revolves around Lovely Singh (Salman) Bodyguard of Divya (Kareena Kapor) daughter of business tycoon Sartaj Rana (Raj Babbar) Lovely Singh is very courage’s & punctual with his duty, but due to his protective nature Divya gets irritated with him & plans get him out of the way. Rest of the story moves with lot of twists, high action, comedy, songs, dance, naughtiness, romance & the list never ends.
The first half of the movie moves slowly but there is a twist just before the interval. There are several interesting events of twist in the film which will keep the audiences to wait anxiously till the end.
The film undoubtedly belongs to Salman Khan, the role was physically demanding and he delivered brilliantly. He didn't have much to portray his acting skills. There’s a big problem for Salman, he is getting too repetitive. Salman is not a great actor; but of course he is a star. He should remember that few years back even Akshay Kumar was riding high success after giving continuous hit movies. But very soon Akshay’s fans rejected watching his movies because he was too repetitive.
Kareena suits the role perfectly. Her character was pivotal to the plot and she did a fantastic job. Katrina Kaif has rocked in the Item number. Sincere attempts have been made by the supporting actors Raj Babbar, Mahesh Manjrekar, Aditya Pancholi, Rajat Rawail, Asrani to give a good performance. It’s interesting to see Salman Khan’s original Bodyguard Shera appears in the visuals of this film. Other characters were aptly casted with good performances.
Director Siddique has very cleverly used Salman factor in the film to the optimum level. The director brings interesting ideas on screen and succeeds. Undoubtedly this is the most entertaining film of the year so far. Siddique’s screenplay focuses more on characters and situations rather than the story.
Music given by Himesh Reshammiya, Pritam is excellent. Title song ‘Aaya Re Aaya Bodyguard’ ‘I love you ‘& ‘Tere Mere’ are very hummable. Action Choreographer Fefsi Vijayan’s works should be highly appreciated. Sejal Shah’s Cinematography in the movie ranks among the best in the industry. Editing by Sanjay Sankla would’ve have been little better.
Overall the movie was very entertaining & worth watching. Specially for Salman fans this movie is a complete Entertainer. A full Paisa vasool film.
