What’s Good: The film adeptly sustains suspense, captivating audiences from start to finish. It diverges from investigative thriller conventions by not introducing a family for Tovino, instead focusing solely on the investigation without unnecessary diversions, thereby enhancing its appeal.
What’s Bad: Specific viewers may find a lack of emotional connection to the investigating officer, a characteristic often present in films of this genre. Tovino Thomas’s character, however, lacks any personal connections such as a girlfriend, wife, or children.
Loo Break: Given the intricacies of the plot, it’s not advisable to take breaks as they may lead to missing vital information.

Though everyone's rushing to make a remake, Siddique, the director of the Blockbuster hit Bodyguard, has no plans of attempting a remake next. "My next film boasts of a fresh subject," he informs me. In fact, Siddique had signed his next Hindi film much before Bodyguard hit the screens last year. "It will be produced by Shyam Bajaj and Narendra Bajaj," he states, "We have locked the script. The casting should be finalized this week." Post Bodyguard, Siddique was flooded with film offers.

Bodyguard, starring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor, is one of the biggest hits of the year 2011. Director Siddique is more than happy with his Hindi debut as a director and is now ready to get back to work on his next.
After the huge success of Bodyguard, offers from several big banners started coming in for Siddique, but he refused all of them. Why? Because he had already made a commitment with producers Shyam Bajaj and Narendra Bajaj.
When Bodyguard was being shot last year, Bajaj was looking for a good director. He enquired about Siddique. “I asked Salman about Siddique and since he was happy about the way Bodyguard was shaping up, he told me I should work with him,” said Shyam Bajaj.

It has now been well established that if you’re a production house lacking a good script look to your Southern counterpart who may have just what you need. The latest remake to join the list is that of Gautham Menon’s path breaking bilingual romantic drama films Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya in Tamil and Ye Maaye Chesave in Telugu.
The films that originally starred Trisha Krishnan and Simbhu in Tamil and Samantha Prabhu and Naga Chaitaniya in Telugu will hit the Hindi screens early 2012 with Prateik Babbar and Amy Jackson in lead roles. Rahman takes the position of composer again and Gautham Menon has directed the film himself.
While Prateik Babbar is not a new name to the fans of Hindi cinema, Amy Jackson is a new one. The British actress and model debuted in the blockbuster Tamil historical drama Madraspattinam. This will be her first outing in Hindi and it...

Salman Khan. He made his acting debut 23 years ago with a minor role in Rekha starrer Biwi Ho To Aisi, had his first commercial hit with blockbuster Maine Pyar Kiya a year later. Salman Khan has gone on to star in some of Hindi cinema’s most successful films such as Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, the National Award Winner Dabangg, and the recently released Bodyguard. Ahead of his schedule in Dublin and fresh from his surgery in America, Salman charmed the London press that had gathered for a special round table conference with him. Dubbed the Bad Boy of the Indian Film Industry by the press, all I can say is the media present was putty in his hands.
On his surgery
“I am sick of speaking about how I am feeling” was his first line for the evening. I can understand why. Only Salman Khan...

Who knew there was a missing link between Mike Leigh, Andy McNab and The Wicker Man? That's how unpredictable this macabre and outlandish tale is, but it unfolds in a credible modern-day Britain scarred by foreign wars and domestic recession. Circumstances lead a blokey hitman and his partner to accept a dodgy new assignment – and by the time they start asking questions, it's too late.

While expectations from a Salman Khan film on Eid are very high, Bodyguard has beaten all pre-opening estimations.
Bodyguard has taken a stupendous start at the global box office, smashing many box office records for an Indian film in the process. These include the single largest days collections in India and the highest opening day in India and the UAE: Rs. 20 crore in India and 11 lakh dirham (Rs 1.36 crore) in Dubai.
The film has also opened a record mid-week opening in the UK. Tuesday saw limited screens at 32 cinemas taking £64,000. Wednesday’s full release was record breaking, with 51 cinemas, culminating in £195,000, making it the highest opening day for any Indian movie to date.

Writer-Director: Siddique, Actors: Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor etc.
Salman Khan’s Bodyguard is a debacle unless you are one of his blind worshipers in a packed cinema hall who would whistle and clap at his every move. The film is disdainful to your sensibility and unfortunately even lacks any entertainment value; if in-your-face risqué dialogues and bosom-bottom jokes still manage to titillate you, it’s quite another thing.
It takes you merely the few first scenes to be able to predict the entire film. But who watches such a film for plot anyway? It is a case of a star outgrowing the very medium that lent him expression and desperately trying to repeat success through his body language, trademark dance movements and tacky one liners—‘mujh par ek ehsaan karna, ki mujh par koi ehsaan naa karna (Do me a favour, that never do me a favour)’ is the one here.

We have another exclusive for all you Bollywood fans out there! An interview with Salman Khan, the star of the massively anticipated Bodyguard and one of the reigning king of the Hindi Box office for the last few decades. Releasing at Eid in a theater near you (at least if live in London).
Salman Khan is easily the world’s most loved Khan (With Shahrukh being the top dog and Amir being the thinking man’s Khan). Last year, his Eid release “Dabangg” became the 2nd biggest grosser in the history of Bollywood. He followed that up with “Ready” in June this year which became the 4 highest grosser in the history of Bollywood.
Trade analysts have predicted that Bodyguard is also slated to get into the record books of top Bollywood grossers.
Salman Khan (45) is also immortalised in wax, at Madame Tussauds, London, due to popular demand for his stardom and famous physique.

Salman Khan. His name is synonymous with Hindi Masala cinema and blockbuster films. This actor can do action, he can do comedy, he can do drama, and he can even do all three at the same time. He can dance and he most definitely can romance and it is all done in that Sallu signature style that make audiences whistle and clap. With Bodyguard, he once again delves into this genre and brings to the screen all that filmi goodness, but from what we hear, he even adds a few surprises as well! Directed by Siddique, Bodyguard is the third version of the film. It is a remake of the original Malayalam film that was also made in Tamil. Both were huge box-office successes. The action-romance, which also stars Kareena Kapoor, is set to release in theaters on Eid and is predicted to be another smash hit. In the film,...

Bodyguard, being released on August 31st, stars the very exciting jodi of Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor. Directed by Siddique and produced by Alvira Agnihotri and Atul Agnihotri, Bodyguard is action, it is comedy, it is music, it is dance, and it is, of course, romance. Kareena plays Divya a girl who just wants to go to college, but things go very wrong when her father hires her a bodyguard, played by Salman Khan. To get rid of him she gets the idea to get him involved into a fake love affair: “Once he’s smitten by the girl of his dreams and is reveling in his new-found romance, he will leave us alone, and we shall be free to do our own thing unhindered’, says Divya to her friends. However, this being Bollywood, the hero and the heroine have to fall in love and on the way have many adventures…...

There are three people looking for a hat-trick from the upcoming release Bodyguard: Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor and film director Siddique.
Salman delivered two blockbuster Eid releases in the last two years— Wanted (2009) and Dabangg (2010) and is now looking forward to delivering a hat-trick with Bodyguard this Eid. Kareena Kapoor delivered two blockbusters in the last two years – 3 Idiots (2009) and Golmaal 3 (2010) and is hoping to score her hat-trick with Bodyguard. Also hoping for a Bodyguard hat-trick is director Siddique who delivered two super hits with the original versions of Bodyguard in Malayalam and in Tamil and is now hoping the same for his debut Hindi version.
So what’s the difference between the three versions? Well, in addition to a much bigger budget, according to Siddique: “The major difference is the characterisation of the hero. In the Malayalam and Tamil versions, the hero was a college dropout who becomes a bodyguard.
