Bodyguard Movie Review (BD)

Bollywood Dil Se Movie Review: Bodyguard

Rating: * * *  1/2

Movie Information: IMDB Link

Cast: Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Raj Babbar, Hazel, Mahesh Manjrekar

Direction: Siddique

Genre: Action, Romance, Humor

Duration: 2 hours 29 minutes

Movie Overview:

After Dabbang and Ready, this film is going to be third consecutive feather in Salman’s cap. The movie, is remade thrice, which itself proves its worth and impact on the box office. This version of the movie, as the other two is good.

But here’s the game, I felt a little disappointed with the treatment of the movie. The screenplay rushed at an odd pace. The first half was intriguing and speedy, but the second half stammers a bit. Again, in the last 20 minutes, we see a hurricane of emotions.

The movie has all the proportionate elements of a Masala Movie, but I seriously felt a letdown in the humor quotient of the movie. The so-called “Tsunami Singh” was a hugh disappointment, rather than him, his T Shirts looked funny. The dialogues were above average.

A die-hard Salman fan might get disappointed, but it was a pleasure seeing Salman in a romantic movie; that too; was totally unexpected. Music boosted the movie, due to which, the faulty screenplay gets sidelined.

After watching this one, my recent favorites from Salman goes in the following order.
1. Dabbang
2. Bodyguard
3. Wanted
4. Ready

Give it a try folks!

Quick Review:

Cast:

Salman Khan is in top notch here. Kareena is back in the form. Mahesh Manjrekar, Aditya Pancholi, Raj Babbar are remarkable. Rajat Rawail as Tsunami is a letdown. He acts well sans comic timing. Hazel Keech (as friend of Kareena) is noteworthy.

Story And Screenplay:

Story and Screenplay by Siddique are both adopted from the original version. Story is good with strong subplots (though over looked in the movie), where as screenplay is inconsistant. Dialogues needed to be more powerful.

P.S. the phrase Main Maarta Kam, Ghasithta Zyada Hoon was missing in the movie (thanks to my friend who noticed it)

Editing And Cinematography:

Editing by Sanjay Sankla is good, he manages to keep the movie on track inspite of futile screenplay. Cinematography by Sejal Shah is marvelous. 

Music And Background Score:

This section proves to be the strongest backbone of the movie. Himesh Reshammiya has lived upto the expectations from the fans. Background score from Sandeep Shirodkar is top class.

Direction:

It would be an amateur statement to state Siddique as a debutant.This man has 27 films on his credits (Tollywood, Kollywood and Bollywoood), out of which most of the movies have turned to be a cult hit. He is flawless on the director's chair.

Finally, watch it! Even if you are not a Salman Khan fan, you wont regret watching this one.

Force Music Review (BD)

BD Music Review :Force

Force

Music Director: Harris Jayraj, Lalit Pandit (Dum Hai To Aaja)

Lyrics: Javed Akhtar

BD Music Rating:***

Khwabon Khwabon

Singer: K.K. ,Suchitra

First of all, the movie is a remake of Surya starrer Khakka Khakka  The music director of the movie, Harris Jayraj (his second Bollywood movie after RHTDM, almost after 10 years) is kept intact for the Hindi version. This song is recreated from Uyirin Uyirae (Cheliya Cheliya in Telugu, I play it too often on my Ipod). The music arrangement, singers and everything else is served without any change from previous versions except lyrics. The lyrics by Javed Akhtar make this song equally beautiful. K.K. as usual is good but female vocals by Suchitra are remarkable.

Chahoon Bhi

Singer: Karthik, Bombay Jayshree

Wow, Bombay Jayshree in Bollywood! I still hear her "Zara Zara" from RHTDM, and it seems that I will be looping this song till her next one comes in the market. The song is beautiful, Melodious, Jazzy; to conclude, the song is a typical Harris Jayraj song. Karthik fills up the bill in the second interlude of the song. The album has progressed well till now.

Dum Hai To Aaja

Singer: Mahua Kamat

This song is by guest composer Lalit Pandit. It's good to hear a rock song from him, but frankly the song is a mediocre attempt. Lyrics and Vocals by Javedsaab and Mahua Kamat are good, but somehow the song lacks the feel and attitude of a rock song. The singer tries too hard to create an impact but the overall ambiance of the song is sub-superior. 

Main Chali

Singer: Naresh Iyer, Shreya Ghoshal

This genre is the fortage of Harris Jayraj. Melody with beats. I have listened his so many Telugu albums and I love his Orange or recently Rangam, this album sounds much like those two. The lyrics fail this time, sounds more like some Tollywood movie dubbed in Hindi.

Dil Ki Hai Tammana

Singer: Vijay Prakash, Shalini Singh, Neha Bhasin

Again a melodious tune from Harris Jayraj. The lyrics are very good this time. Vocals by Vijay Prakash are remarkable. The song lacks new innovations and is thus, an ordinary attempt.

Now, the album comes to a sudden halt. Only five songs in an album by Harris Jayraj!! This is something unexpected. Overall, This is an ordinary Harris Jayraj album. Songs make you feel good, but don't leave a deeper impact on you. RTHDM was a cult, unfortunately, FORCE is not!
