Analysis: There is always a demand for thriller movies. If it comes with good content, it will attract if it engages the audience. Another thriller `The Guard` has come in that order. This movie is made with a combination of thriller and horror. There is nothing new in terms of story in such movies, how much we have engaged, how much we have thrilled, how much we have impressed the audience is important. If you succeed there, the movie is a success. It can be said that `The Guard` movie has impressed a lot in this regard. There is nothing new in terms of story, but it gives a thrill experience from beginning to end. Sushant supervises as a security guard at night. In this order, some terrible sounds give a new thrill feeling. They engage. It creates curiosity about what is happening? What is going to happen? That can be said to be the hook point for the audience here. The whole first half goes on engaging in the same way. At the same time, another boss trying to trap a girl named Anita, another person suspiciously watching her, another person loving her, all these are elements that create a lot of doubts and engage the audience. Now the ghost story starts in the second half. Who caught Sam? What is her story? It is revealed why she changed like that. That story gives clarity to the movie. At the same time, there is a feeling of some routine. Every ghost story has such an element. It feels like this is the same. But the way the story is directed after that is important. In this, the story runs in a very engaging way rather than routine. In this order, the fun done by the hero's friend Krishna works out. The scenes of these two being afraid of seeing the ghost make people laugh. These are the elements that give relief to the audience. However, it can be said that the lack of novelty in the story is a minus. There is also some lag in the second half. After that, the scenes bring a routine feeling. The ghost episodes also give us the feeling that we have already seen them to some extent. The climax was thrilling till the end. But the kick and high moment that should be given in the climax should have been given even better. It would have been better if it had been taken to a peak and ended. As the whole movie takes place in Australia, we don't get our own feeling. Telugu flavor is missing. Overall, it can be said that this movie will entertain those who like horror thriller movies.

Actors: Viraj Reddy Chelam has done well in the role of Sushant. He did not go for heroism and acted very settled, tried to act naturally. He also did well in emotional scenes and love scenes. It is special to show the fights naturally in this. Kamal Krishna acted well and made people laugh in the role of his friend Krishna. Mimi Leonard in the role of Sam seemed okay as far as she was there. Shilpa Balakrishnan also rocked in the role of Anita. These are the main roles in these movies. The remaining characters seem okay as far as they are there.

Technically: Technically this movie is neat as far as it is there. Camera work is good. Night scenes are visually colorful and neat. The color tone of the movie is reminiscent of Hollywood movies. Editing should be sharpened further. Okay in terms of music, but more care should be taken in terms of BGM. RR is very important for such movies. Director Jaga Peddi has chosen a regular story, but he has shown his mark in terms of taking. He did that magic. As the movie takes place abroad, it seems to be for the overseas audience. It would have been better if priority was given to our emotions. But it can be said that the director has impressed a lot in making the film and running it engagingly. Production values ​​are also fine. Finally: `The Guard` for those who like horror thrillers. Rating: 2.5
