Reception edit
Critical response edit
B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote that "There is hardly any depth in other roles as the film itself was meant to be a walk in the park. As such, this Bodyguard has little cinema muscle to show except the last 20 minutes of the film. The film perks up interest then and makes up for the rest".[3] A critic from IANS wrote that "Ashok's camera work and Vinaya Chandra's music are much better when compared to other technical work in the film. 'Body Guard' is just an average flick which can be enjoyed only by ardent Jaggesh fans".[4] A critic from The Times of India wrote that "For a change, Jaggesh is in a different role. It's a serious story with good narration that can be watched with family and friends. It's Jaggesh's show from the beginning to end".[5]
