After
Wanted
and
Dabangg,
Salman
Khan
is
back
with
yet
another
release
this
Eid
festive
season.
His
latest
movie
Bodyguard
is
his
usual
masala
entertainer
film,
but
director
Siddique
seems
to
have
grown
beyond
Salman's
limits.
The
film
is
sure
to
rock
the
family
audience
with
its
simple
and
captivating
story.
Bodyguard
is
remake
of
Malayalam
movie
with
the
same
name,
which
is
a
romantic-action
film.
Salman
Khan's
rocking
performance
is
the
main
attraction
of
the
movie.
Rajat
Rawail's
comedy
timings,
Himesh
Reshammiya
and
Pritam's
music,
Sejal
Shah's
cinematography,
Vijayan's
action
sequences
and
beautiful
costumes
and
act
direction
are
the
other
highlights
of
the
film.
The
movie
Bodyguard
has
simple
and
engaging
story
that
is
relatable.
Nothing
much
happens
in
the
first
half
of
the
film
and
it
runs
with
a
routine
Bollywood
masala.
But
the
movie
turns
serious
with
a
twist
at
the
end
of
the
first
half.
Siddique
has
shown
the
best
part
of
the
film
in
the
second
half.
The
film
has
an
unexpected
twist
in
the
pre-climax,
which
is
completely
shocking.
Lovely
Singh
[Salman
Khan]
is
very
punctual
and
perfect
guy
in
his
duties.
He
is
becomes
a
bodyguard
for
Divya
[Kareena
Kapoor],
who
is
the
daughter
of
a
business
tycoon
named
Sartaj
Rana
[Raj
Babbar].
He
follows
her
to
her
college
campus,
but
soon
he
becomes
a
menace
for
her
with
his
over-protective
nature.
In
bid
to
avoid
him,
Divya
makes
up
a
fake
lover,
who
falls
in
love
with
'private
number'.
Who
is
that
girl?
Is
she
really
in
love
with
him?
Will
he
gets
his
true
love
in
her?
All
these
questions
are
answered
in
the
climax.
With
Bodyguard,
Salman
Khan
has
returned
to
a
genre
he
started
out
with
love
story.
He
emotes
well
in
sentimental
sequences
and
he
surely
rocks
the
viewers
in
action,
music
and
comedy
sequences.
Kareena
Kapoor
has
a
tailor-made
role
and
she
has
really
used
it
to
show
her
acting
skills.
Rajat
Rawail
provides
perfect
comedy
timings.
Aditya
Pancholi,
Raj
Babbar,
Mahesh
Manjrekar,
Hazel
Keech,
Asrani
and
Vidya
Sinha
have
delivered
their
best
to
suit
their
respective
roles.
Himesh
Reshammiya
and
Pritam's
soundtracks
are
major
highlights
in
the
technical
front
and
they
fit
well
with
the
genre.
The
title
track
and
'Teri
Meri...'
are
sure
to
rock
the
audience.
Sandeep
Shirodkar's
background
score
is
also
good.
Sejal
Shah's
camera
work
is
the
other
attraction
in
the
technical
stuff.
Vijayan's
stunts
are
stylish
and
Sanjay
Sankla's
editing
is
also
commendable.
Overall,
Bodyguard
is
a
good
masala
entertainer
and
it
can
be
a
perfect
time-passer
for
this
Eid
and
Ganesh
festive
seasons.
Salman's
fans
should
not
miss
to
watch
this
movie.
