Bodyguard is a worthwatching movie. Though the initial half is boring with under rated comedies and poor performance by the comedians which was never expected in a Siddique movie, the second half takes off well enough with a good love story.Also Nayantara finally got a chance to perform on her acting skills and she fairly did it well and of course in the second half her character drives the movie.There was nothing new from Dileep and the script did not give any importance to other characters.

The film is not that bad and there are some good moments in the second half where we can feel the love they tried to explain.The climax was fine and avoided any dramatic scenes.

Its a one time watch..!!!

Nowrunning is certainly hundered times better than Sify and Indiaglitz. They just sing support to the stars and do nothing else. Whereas Nowrunning gives a more accurate analysis of the film.

no..nowrunning reviews are very biased to certain actors…for example they rate lacklusture perfomance of prithvi in kangaroo and oneway ticket as above average…they r grossly biassed …. and i felt bodyguard as an above average movie definitely better than he above two….but they get more ratings …….

Body Guard is not a bad movie at all. There are some good jokes, but it lacks a good climax.

I think, the poor performance of this film was due to the long-delay in its making, the same thing was happened to Johny Sagarika’s earlier movie, ‘Mouse and Cat’ (directed by Fazil). As ‘Mouse and Cat’, this film also is an entertainer till the interval, but lags after that. The reason for the delay may be the date-clashes or somewhat else. Normally, Fazil and Sidheeque are famous for making a film within two months. Sidheeque has utilized the value of Nayanthara at a maximum for the film, which Fazil couldn’t do with the newcomer, Ashwathy (she is more gorgeous than Nayanthara) last year. The producer has given good marketing for this film (Mouse N Cat ad was published on the newspapers only on the releasing day, and there were no promotions on TV and railway stations even after its release, and no wall posters were affixed on streets for that film. Body Guard is lucky in its marketing side).

Anyway, Johny Sagarika should learn some production and marketing techniques from these two experiments.

It is very unfair to blame the reviewers, especially for a film like ‘Bodyguard’. It has become a fashion to blame the reviewers if their views happen to question those of these so called fan bases. Every time Raja Sen posts a review on Rediff, this happens.

Personally, I read the reviews at nowrunning and I think they offer the best reviews that are impartial. There is no chamchagiri at all in the reviews on that site.

The NowRunning reviewer appears sincere. Others are like paid reviews. Part of Producer’s advertisement campaign.
