SOMEONE GUARD US FROM BODYGUARD (film)



Film: Bodyguard (**)
Director: Siddique
Stars: Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Raj Babbar and one promotional song by Katrina Kaif
Review: My hunt for director Siddique is still on. I'd like to express my apologies toward his lack on imagination. And also such brutal use of a fabulous starcast of Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor on a weak script like this.

HYPE: The hype for Salman's Bodyguard was gripping in the days that followed Eid (31st Aug). And cinema halls across India went house full, clearly out of curiosity to see how Salman 'Bhai' would entertain us as a bodyguard with rippling muscles and eight pack abs.
The film opens with Katrina Kaif, looking absolutely hot in a black number. And as the storyline progresses, Salman (Lovely Singh) was chosen as the bodyguard for Kareena (Divya) as there was threat to her life from gaon ka goondas. Kareena's dad Sartaj (played by Raj Babbar) was a surprise element as he looked quite young to play the dad of a 22 year old Divya.
When Divya saw Lovely Singh risk his life for her at a nightclub, she fell for him and in between also fell prey to her own prank of making anonymous love confession calls to Lovely Singh from a girl called Chaya. Chaya and Divya are two faces of the same girl. As Lovely Singh falls further and further in love, Divya is unable to control her emotions.
But as word leaks out mysteriously from maid servants to Divya's parents, the game plot falls apart. Divya pushes her best friend (played by Hazel Keech) to act as Chaya and save Lovely Singh.

THE BORING TWIST: Incidentally, the best friend and bodyguard get married, have a son but as luck would have it, best friend dies and Divya waits for her knight in shining armour to return. Her father understands the 'hidden' plot in his daughter's mind and ask Salman to accept his daughter three-four years after the fiasco had ended. (And we thought the torture had ended). Of course, after some dramatic scenes, Salman and Kareena get together (baby already in place from nakli Chaya).


Girl with the blue scarf says: All's well that ends well. Boy, were we glad that the film got over.

When a man makes an indecent proposal..to a man

The 'casting couch' is serious trouble for male models in India The Casting Couch is a reality. Not just for female models but also the males in India’s buzzing fashion industry. In a quest to make it big, acquire fame, money and a high-profile lifestyle, many male models face the rude reality of ‘talent hunts’ under the guise of ramp show auditions. While many such auditions are genuine, others are ‘indecent proposals’ or a fast dial way to make it on the ramp for big designers and then to the silver screen. Incidentally, under the scanner of late is model Sid Gupta (name changed) , assistant director in a recent Shah Rukh Khan film, who was given a shot on the ramp to open and close the KJo-Varun Bahl’s menswear show in Delhi and the India Couture Week in Mumbai. Fashion circles in both cities are abuzz with rumours about he being a toyboy for his godfather. Not just him, in the recent past model Inder Bajwa and then Lalit Trehan were rumoured to have been the boyfriends of d...

Choreographer and IPL fashion show coordinator Prasad Bidappa defends his expression of art — a calender of nude men, which leaked out in the public recently Prasad Bidappa was a hassled man recently as he prepared for the Indian Premier League 2011 show in Mumbai. Reason being: His hobby of exotic photography was costing him his reputation and ruining his sleep. Some of the pictures he had shot of nude males, which were sent to an exclusive friend list on email were mysteriously leaked out to in the public eye. Apart from hushed talks amongst the modelling circuit who are participating in Bidappa's own IPL fashion shows, a fashion blogsite too posted this incident as a scandal. Bidappa was unhappy, worried and restless. THE TALE: It was Sri Lankan photographer and artist late Lionel Wendt who's work inspired Bidappa for years. So, last year, Bidappa shot pictures of nude males in different sexual positions and compiled it for a select invitee list of friends. It was done wi...
