BODYGUARD- Review



With a caution the mindless entertainer it can be, we still chose Bodyguard. That was the biggest mistake and I demand Siddique my 200Rs back..

Few minutes into the movie, you know it is a straight rip off from a Telgu movie..Few traits to identify like gravity defying stunts, huge haveli, rich father protecting his pricess daughter, unreasonable enemies from generations ever ready to tussle..

Then there are the usual Salman movie starrer scenes like water pipe gushing over his body to tear open his shirt, invention of wierd dance steps, one punch dialogue for which you create situations so that it recurrs, signature ringtone which gets to your nerves after sometime, one 'trying to create comedy' man for which he tries hard and goes to extent of ripping his shirt but you should be a die hard Salman fan to succumb to such mediocre jokes and finally a bone head who falls for such idiocy..You have no reason to fall in love with his character Kareena. He is only doing his duty of guarding..Unless you are paid a bomb to act so brainless..Mix these ingrediants in a cocktail and you have an assured box office blockbuster or so thinks the director.

From the beginnning of the movie, you wonder why there is a pretty girl next to Kareena who sits/eats/sleeps/walks with her. Only at the end you know the reason why she agreed to play such a sly role. To have a "different" climax, the director did not think twice while aping the famous Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. On one side the romantic track surprises you, the comedy track kills you and the action track frustrates you. You wait for Intermission in the first half and wait to get out in the second half.

RATING: *
PS: Its not even a mindless entertainer. Its pure mindless
