Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Gypsi Bates Bodyguard Lovely Singh (Salman Khan) has been assigned to college student, Divya (Kareena Kapoor). She is frustrated by having him tag along and comes up with a plan to distract him: by giving him a secret admirer. Divya's plan works well, and Lovely falls for the mysterious Chhaya of the phone calls, but Divya never foresaw the results of her actions.This film is a mix of action, romance, and drama. Khan's character is a too-serious, over-conscientious one, and the movie pokes fun of itself through him in a thoroughly funny way. The fight scenes are unbelievable, but no less enjoyable for that. The musical scenes, costumes and film work are average. The story, though, becomes entirely engrossing, and throws a few surprises. Overall, I recommend it, as long as the viewer knows not to take it too seriously.

Vivekmaru45 I found this film an entertaining TIME PASS film. If a film succeeds in entertaining you it deserves a good rating. The script is decent yet not outstanding. If an established script writer the likes of Gulzar or Javed Akhtar had modified this weak script, the result would have been very different. Siddique remade this from his own 2010 Malayalam film of the same name.Raj Babber, Hazel Keech, Asrani, Aditya Pancholi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sharat Saxena all have small supporting roles to the main cast of Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor.The core of this film is a love affair through mobile correspondence between the bodyguard and the woman he has sworn to protect with his life. This is a happy-ending, feelgood type of film. All's well that ends well being the motto. Love prevails in the end.Plot: Balwant Singh is a bodyguard of Sartaj Rana (Raj Babbar) with high competences. During one night, Balwant, along with his pregnant wife, get into a car accident. While the accident causes Balwant to die right away, his wife is rescued by Sartaj, and she later gives birth to a child named Lovely. Lovely Singh (Salman Khan), now grown up, is the bodyguard of Sartaj's daughter Divya (Kareena Kapoor). He is very devoted to his duties but irritates her all the time by following her everywhere. Consequently, Divya and her friend Maya (Hazel Keech) call Lovely and start a prank love affair, hoping to keep him away from them. Lovely starts loving the mystery person but doesn't realise that it is Divya who was behind all of this. Divya tells Lovely that her name is "Chhaya". Meanwhile, Sartaj begins to suspect that Lovely and Divya are together and sends his men to kill Lovely in case his lover turns out to be Divya. Sensing this, Divya sends her friend Maya to tell Lovely her true identity. In a twist, it is revealed that Maya is also in love with Lovely. She falsely accepts that she is his lover. They marry and have a child. Maya dies early and reveals to her son in her diary about her fraud and asks him to unite Lovely and Divya.Several years later, Sartaj invites Lovely and his son to his house, and apologises for his behaviour. Lovely is shocked to know that Divya never married. His son grows closer to Divya and on their last day of visit, while leaving, he asks Divya to accompany him as his mother. Lovely asks his son to apologise but he refuses. Sartaj tells Lovely that he too feels the same and he should take Divya with him. At the railway station, Lovely and his son are accompanied by Divya. The son throws Maya's diary into the dustbin but Lovely sees it and retrieves it. He reads it and comes to know that Divya was his actual lover. In the last scene, Divya is called by Lovely and he addresses her as "Chhaya". Divya realises that Lovely has come to know of the truth and they hug each other, happily watched by Lovely's son.The producer of this film is none other than Alvira Agnihotri who is Salman Khan's real life sister who married the well known actor Atul Agnihotri.

Avinash Patalay Undoubtedly its raining Salman Khan. It happened with Amitabh, it happened with Rajnikanth - and then they said it marks the end of the phenomena. The mass-hysteria, the madness will never occur again. With yet another 100-crore feather in his cap Salman Khan not only reigns supreme at the box-office but marks the sighting of Haley comet phenomena. No longer he needs Abhinav Kashyap, Anees Bazmee or Siddique. Audience are drawn into the cinema halls not to question the logic but to witness the sheer star power and "Bodyguard" is no different. Cinematic liberties are masked out with shirt buttons being ripped off and goons defying the laws of gravity. Kareena is gorgeous. Raj Babbar and Vidya Sinha are dependable. Rajat Rawail is the new comedian in the block (in an unwarranted comedy track, least to say appalling comedy). Asrani was a glorified extra. Aditya Pancholi, Mahesh Manjrekar and Sharat Saxena lend adequate support. Hazel Keech has a strong screen presence. In his last few outings Salman Khan has formed his camp encompassing his trusted soldiers which is yielding results.Himesh Reshammiya gets back on all his fours into the fold of his mentor. "Teri Meri" grows on you over period of time, only to prove why HR was undisputed king of the masses in his prime. The last 30-minutes will have the audience divided, they will either love it or loathe it. And yes there is tribute to famous "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge" train sequence & "Kuch Kuch Hota Hain".PS: Don't be eating your own words a few years down the line, should you see Salman Khan doing "Rishtey mein toh hum tumhare baap lagte hain.... MIND IT".

rahuldgod I've seen a lot of the reviews by some of the IMDb members!But i strongly suggest to reconsider their opinion about the film! Siddique's a new director and we must appreciate his courage to make salman act in this romance-main film plot. It may be well.....overcooked with salman's action and all, but one must see siddique's original script in Malayalam movie bodyguard! In how many films have you seen such a twist in the climax? It's a new one, r8? I thought Indian viewers liked some changes or new plots! Well this is one of'em. Don't review this film just coz it's a salman movie and it's a slow one!!! That's how bollywood films are(well most of'em)! Please guys at least give the director some credit! He's a great director! I have a feeling we'll see more lively and brilliant films from him! I'm sure of it!!!
