Review:

First one to be appreciated is Dir. Siddique for creating such a nice story that is a complete winner across languages and culture. Bodyguard (Telugu) is a nice adapted remake which doesn't affect the crux of the story and also adding essential elements to the Telugu audience. Kudos to Dir. Gopichand Malineni, for making it appeal to the audience once again. The role of Bodyguard is tailor-made for Venkatesh, with all elements of Comedy, Action, Romance and Sentiment. With all his experience, he carries the film on his shoulders. A special mention to Trisha, she proves that she is an experienced and seasoned actress and she can enact all emotions with maturity. Prakash Raaj does his role to the T, so does Saloni, Ali, and others. Thaman's music adds value to the film in the songs and his RR keeps us into the mood of the film. Chota K Naidu's camera captures beautiful locations of Canada. If they could have avoided some dull moments and a song in the second half, it would have been a perfect fit. Overall, Bodyguard is a good film that appeal to the complete family audience. A definite winner for both the creators and the audience.
