Movie Review: Bodyguard
Cast: Dileep, Thyagarajan, Nayanthara
A family drama,
Bodyguard, is director Siddhique's ninth such film which does not disappoint. A decent entertainer, though not very heavy on storyline,
Bodyguard is Siddhique’s way of proving that the audience still love a good laugh with some fights thrown in.
The story
Jayakrishnan (
Dileep) has a strange passion. To be seen with the brave and powerful. He doesn’t mind taking risks just to among them. He leaves college to train as a body guard for the goons in his locality. One day he hears of the city’s feared goon, Ashokan (Thyagarajan) and sets out to befriend him. He gets lucky when he accidentally rescues Ashokan and his family from being murdered. He lands a job as Ashokan’s bodyguard.
Ashokan bids goodbye to his earlier life and settles down to a retired life, keeping on the right side of the law.
When Asokan's daughter Ammu (Nayanthara) rejoins her college for her final year, Jayakrishnan is sent along, posing as a student, to give her the needed protection.
From here, the protagonist turns comic and for most part, you see him in suits and sun glasses, accompanying Ammu and her friend Sethulakshmi everywhere. Annoyed with this, Ammu finds various ways to get rid of him, trying unsuccessfully to find him a girlfriend. When she finds no takers, she herself takes the plunge and begins to pretend to be in love with him, eventually falling in love with him.
The movie has great visuals and steady narration, although the chemistry between the lead stars leaves much to be desired. But the movie definitely has its moments. Dileep has been successful in generating few laughs and Nayantara looks elegant and stylish.
A good watch, nevertheless.

mr dileep. i am salim mather from dubai. Body guard is realy fantastic movie.
Seriously Its not a good film which i expect from Mr. Siddique, Okey it may success in tamil, but in malayalam… i dont think so.. consider dilip as a comedian too. It would have done Prithwi i think the result would have another one.. Dilip’s comedy was good, but love scenes was bore… nayan’s acting and lip movements was too bore, i think she totally changed in to a tamilian.. hehe
