Decent watch with family. Kudos to Director for presenting an age old story in a refreshing way. Brave effort considering all first time actors and technicians. Sound, cinematography , music hit the right spots. With key twists enhanced by background score. Directors passion for movies is quite evident. First half was pacy introducing characters and setting up the plot nicely for Second half. Only one song but catchy with neat picturization. Second half could have been a bit better with few edits. Overall excellent effort for a first time director. Expecting better product in the future. Should do much better on OTT.

Guard - Revenge for Love"

One of the worst Telugu movies in recent times. The story is painfully routine, with zero logic, no depth in character arcs, and a screenplay that feels lazy and overly convenient. The acting is hopeless, with no scope for actors to shine. The only saving grace is the cinematography and background music. Songs and fights are bump in the screen play climax is nothing but a forced sequel pretty sure will not happen.

The director needs to focus on crafting stronger dialogues, hiring better actors, and most importantly, working with professional writers.

Watching more well-made commercial films before attempting another project would help. Otherwise, it's just a waste of the producer's money and the audience's patience.

Just my personal opinion!

The Movie shoot has been done entirely in Australia and it has all the Indian movie flavors with extraordinary skills from Director. Each scene is meticulously crafted, capturing the raw intensity of love and vengeance. The seamless blend of suspense, passion, and heartache keeps the audience captivated from start to finish.

The cinematography is equally impressive, with breathtaking visuals that complement the storyline perfectly. The use of lighting, angles, and camera movements adds depth and intensity to the film, making it a truly immersive experience. The director's ability to evoke such powerful performances from the new cast is impressive.

I believe money spent on ticket is well worth for the movie which has entirely new cast and wish the director to produce more films to entertain the audience.
