Analysis :

Director Gopichand Malineni stuck to the original version script without many changes making it a genuine remake. Bodyguard is a simple story with an unexpected twist in the end but what makes you fairly engaging and connects to the movie is the interplay of characters, emotional content, ease in narration and engaging dialogues. Also, Bodyguard has all the commercial elements, high voltage action sequences, the comedy is handled well, songs were shot in beautiful and scenic locales. First half of the film is packed with fights, romance, and humor while the second half is an emotional galore and the climax is an asset for the film. Bodyguard has its own flaws but can be overlooked on a whole.

Performance :

Venkatesh character showcases love, happiness, comedy, sorrow and all other emotions equally and one has to agree he is the right choice for the movie. Trisha is fascinating and she has delivered her best in performance. Saloni in the role of Swathi as Trisha’s friend performed very well. Prakash Raj is regular, Pragathi is alright. Ali and Venu Madhav are hilarious, Kota Srinivasa Rao is good, Subbaraju is fine.

Final Word A family entertainer
