The
combination
of
Venkatesh
and
Trisha
is
enough
to
generate
interest
and
also
provide
the
recipe
for
success.
The
hit
pair
is
back
once
again.
This
time
it
is
with
a
remake
film.
Bodyguard
is
a
remake
of
the
Malayalam
film.
Let
us
see
if
the
director
has
made
any
changes
or
remained
loyal
to
the
original
story.
Story
The
story
begins
with
Tanikella
Bharani,
the
owner
of
a
private
security
firm
sending
Venkatadri
(Venkatesh)
to
work
as
the
Bodyguard
of
Prakash
Raj.
Venkatadri
readily
agrees
as
Prakash
Raj
had
saved
his
life
and
that
of
his
mother
when
they
met
with
an
accident
during
his
childhood.
Venkatadri
lands
up
in
the
village
of
Prakash
Raj.
Soon
he
learns
that
the
real
threat
is
not
to
Prakash
Raj
but
his
daughter
Keerthi.
Kota
Srinivasa
Rao
and
his
son
are
after
the
life
of
Keerthi
in
order
to
take
revenge
for
the
death
of
Kota"s
son.
Prakash
Raj
sends
the
Bodyguard
to
safeguard
his
daughter
Keerthi
who
is
studying
in
a
college
in
the
city.
Swathi
(Saloni)
and
Ali
accompany
Keerthi
and
Bodyguard.
Keerthi
cannot
stand
the
Bodyguard
following
her
all
the
time.
She
plays
a
prank
on
him
in
order
to
disturb
him
and
hopes
that
this
will
keep
him
of
her
back.
She
keeps
calling
him
up
and
telling
him
that
she
loves
him.
Bodyguard
is
an
innocent
guy
who
believes
that
a
girl
is
really
in
love
with
him.
In
a
sudden
twist,
Keerthi
starts
loving
the
Bodyguard
for
his
sincerity
and
honesty.
She
however
does
not
reveal
this
to
him
and
continues
to
call
him
in
the
name
of
'Bangaram".
Venkatadri
has
the
highest
regard
for
Prakash
Raj
and
so
Keerthi
is
sure
that
he
will
never
marry
her
if
he
learns
that
she
is
the
one
who
has
been
calling
him
and
proposing
love.
When
Keerthi"s
marriage
is
fixed
with
Subba
Raju
she
has
no
other
option
but
to
take
a
firm
decision.
She
plans
to
elope
with
Venkatadri
but
is
not
sure
if
he
will
agree.
Meanwhile
Prakash
Raj
learns
that
Venkatadri
is
running
away
with
his
daughter
but
it
is
not
the
case
as
Venkatadri
does
not
know
the
identity
of
the
caller.
What
happens
next?
Will
Keerthi
elope
with
Venkatadri?
Or
will
Prakash
Raj
kill
Venkatadri.
This
is
the
suspense
element
that
unfolds
on
the
screen
in
the
remaining
part
of
the
story.
Performance:
Venkatesh
is
cool
and
stylish.
He
does
a
perfect
job.
His
comedy
timing
too
is
perfect.
Trisha
looks
good
and
she
makes
a
good
pair
with
Venkatesh.
The
two
come
up
with
another
winning
performance.
Saloni
is
okay.
Ali
is
a
little
subdued.
Prakash
Raj
and
Kota
are
their
usual
self.
Subba
Raju,
Tanikella
Bharani
and
others
have
brief
roles
and
they
do
justice
to
their
roles.

Verdict
The
film
Bodyguard
is
a
simple
but
decent
love
story
with
enough
commercial
ingredients
to
appeal
to
all
sections
of
the
audience.
The
film
makes
for
a
decent
watch
during
this
festive
season.
Venkatesh
has
not
disappointed
his
fans
and
he
is
back
on
a
winning
track.
