Siddiq's Bodyguard is a bit boring and could best be enjoyed with a blindfold on. Jayakrishnan (Dileep) has had a strange character to face with risks ever since he was a small boy. He grows up admiring a men who live as a bodyguard to an almost legendary thug, Asokan (Thyagarajan). When the don's daughter Ammu (Nayantara) joins college, Jayakrishnan is sent along with her as her bodyguard, and it's not long before Cupid breaks their guard.
When the infamous railways station where almost all love tales wind up in Malluwood comes up, we breast ourselves for a dramatic climax. But what actually happens there in this case is almost unmentionable. I am not talking about spoilers here, I am talking instead of one of the most ridiculous twists witnessed in recent times that should leave an entire audience speechless, on account of its silliness. This isn't a twist really, it's a twist-till-it-snaps kind of a bombshell that makes the destruction complete.
The most off-putting instants in the film hence occur during the last fifteen minutes, when there are sudden jerks between flashbacks and when the final disclosure arrives, you feel sympathetic towards the Bodyguard. You realize that the script has made him out to be a man who has lived a life without any purpose, and who is as brainless as a jellyfish. And then suddenly, with barely five minutes left before the credits start rolling, everything starts working out like a keyed up alarm clock, and by the time the bell goes off, everything around him has fallen into place. And that includes his messed up life as well.
Dileep as the Bodyguard is strictly passable; the actor has seen better days and certainly better scripts. Thankfully, he doesn't strut around perking up his muscles except to rake up some laughter, though he does flash the dragon tattoo on an almost-bulging bicep. Nayantara in her new size zero avatar looks drop-dead dazzling and definitely makes eye-popper material.
Forget fascinating, there's hardly anything memorable going on here. Strikingly underwritten, Bodyguard suffers from a serious lack of imagination that drops it straight into a big black hole.
