Taking great pride in what he does, he spares no effort in giving his everything to his profession. Summoned for an assignment of guarding Divya, the daughter of Sartaj Rana, a business tycoon, Lovely Singh accompanies her to her campus, but ends up rubbing her the wrong way with his over-protective nature and paranoia about security. She finds him to be a major obstacle in leading a regular campus life. To throw him off-track and get him out of the way, she comes up with a 'master-plan'- that of trapping him in a fake love affair. -- (C) Reliance

Critic Reviews
-
Nick Schager, Village Voice
Even more than its overwrought music-video numbers and needlessly complicated finale, Khan ups the movie's ridiculousness.
-
Andy Webster, New York Times
A twist near the end sends this contrived movie into a maudlin stratosphere from which it doesn't recover.
-
Maitland McDonagh, Film Journal International
This spin on the 1992 Kevin Costner/Whitney Houston movie about a bodyguard who falls for his difficult charge is silly and derivative, but sneakily entertaining nonetheless.
-
Phelim O'Neill, Guardian [UK]
Here the fight and stunt sequences are afforded as much care and attention as the song and dance scenes; it's all top-notch stuff.
