Venkatesh’s Bodyguard Review
35mmrahuls rating:4/5
Cast : Venkatesh, Trisha, Saloni Aswani, Prakash Raj
Director : Gopichand Malineni
Producer : Bellamkonda Suresh
Music : S.S. Thaman
Story: Varadarajula Naidu (Prakash Raj) saves Venkatadri’s (Venkatesh) life during his childhood. He is later raised by Thannikela Bharani who thinks Venkatadri should be sent as the Bodyguard to protect Varadarajula Naidu. When Venkatadri comes to the village, Varadarajula Naidu tells him that it is his daughter Keerthi (Trisha) who has threat from his opponents and needs bodyguard. Venkatadri then falls in love with a girl in a frequent mobile conversation. Then a series of romantic and melodrama twists change his life.
Analysis
The script of Venkatesh starrer Bodyguard isn't much innovative except for few minor changes to suit the nativity. Getting into the reality, regardless of the title Bodyguard and Venkatesh's biceps, the film is totally inclined towards a love story than an action entertainer. It remains lighthearted for the majority of the runtime except when the villains suddenly surface at times and towards the climax. Venkatesh’s body guard is totally off guarded and does not look convincing. Surely, the movie draws comparisons with its counterparts from other industries and you have to tell that the Telugu version did not do justice to the original version. Unnecessary songs, routine fights and clumsy screenplay makes the movie uninteresting.
Venkatesh works more for a surprise element in the climax but it isn't something that you can't see coming. In fact, you can relate the same climax to Nagarjuna’s Santosham. And though the climax is predictably clichéd, he doesn't leave much scope for melodrama. The pacing is not so quick, music is not peppy, action is stylized and editing towards the second half should have been better.
final word: Venkatesh’s Bodyguard review: The movie does not lift the spirits and reach the expectations of its Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil counterparts. With festive season, perhaps Bodyguard’s run at the box office would be interesting!

Story
At a time when Mumbai police announces
that there are no Bhai’s in Mumbai and everyone can run business, Surya
(Mahesh Babu) lands in the country’s commercial capital with an
intention to become a don. He slowly gains momentum and in the process
also traps Chitra (Kajal) who is police commissioner’s (Nazer) daughter.
Surya then locks horns with big shots and his juggernaut continues to
the point where the plot will be unveiled as to why did Mahesh Babu came
to Mumbai with such an intention.
Analysis
Businessman is an action packed roller coaster ride and its Mahesh Babu’s show all the way. An ideal movie for Mahesh Babu to hit the screens as the superstar took over from where he left in Dookudu. Typical Puri Jagannath’s one liner dialogues coupled with Mahesh Babu’s terrific action sequences hogs the limelight in Businessman. The film gives you glimpses of Pokiri and other mafia based movies like RGV’s Satya but Puri managed to bring his own style of innovation. He has handled it very sensibly ensuring that there are no duplication of thoughts. Given the fact that Businessman movie was just made in 72 days, boy the output is brilliant and hats off to Puri Jagannath and Mahesh for making the movie in such a short span of time.
Businessman is a perfect mass masala extravaganza which satisfies the undemanding viewers. Mahesh Babu has strong screen presence that works to the advantage of the film. Puri Jagannath is raw, creative and daringly different like he usually is. When such a dynamic director gets the authentic acting support from his superstar, you can expect fireworks on the screen and that’s what happens in Businessman. Mahesh Babu and Kajal give sterling performances to the shouts of 'action' and 'cut' of Puri Jagannath for Businessman movie. The result is that we have a massy entertainer in the face of stiff competition from other strategically released action movies this season.

Performances
Who else? Mahesh Babu comes up with a
stunning performance. His dialogue delivery, bdoy language and the ease
with which he utters them is simply fantastic.
Technicalities
Music is a huge asset for the movie. SS Thaman once again brings his skills to the fore for the superstar. ‘Saar Osthaara’ number is an instant sensation. Camera work by Syam K Naidu is stunning. His shot selection and camera angles were brilliant and he captured the best from Mahesh’s Babu’s close shots. Editing towards the second half should have been crisper but action mater Vijay needs to be commended for his great work.
Final Word
Businessman movie review: Businessman movie is a mass masala extravaganza and carnival for all those who relish seeing Mahesh Babu in a masala ride. Looks like the crazy combo of Puri and Mahesh has done it again!
