REVIEW: Bodyguard (2)MISS AND HIT
Siddique’s Bodyguard comes with built-in advantages—the right timing for release on the Id holiday extended weekend plus Salman Khan’s lucky period. It is already a hit even before it reaches the cinemas, which makes a review more or less redundant… just for the record. His fans right now, would go and see the film even if it were the worst film ever made.
REVIEW: BodyguardDUMBER AND DUMBER
The most important creative decision the writer/director of a Salman Khan film has to take is how to tear his character's shirt off in the most dramatic fashion possible. The rest can be a rehash of all his old films from Maine Pyaar Kiya to Dabangg. So Siddique of Bodyguard, doesn't flex his brain muscles too much and just assumes that Salman's ageless persona will carry the film through.
Perhaps it will. But even as popular entertainment goes, this is pulp fiction at its uncultivated worst. The justification would be that it caters to the lowest common denominator, which, as it happens, we seem to be striving to push even lower with each passing year. Having already said everything that could be said about Salman's abnormal physique and expressionless face, it's now time to just state the facts.
