Reception
[edit]Cinema Express rated the film one star out of five and stated, "Like countless horror films, the ghost in Guardian too is gripped with revenge. Even with a familiar story, the makers could have still made an engaging film with focused storytelling or at least they could have leveraged the thrills of the genre. However, the jumpscares are as bland as the story."[4] The Times of India had a similar assessment, calling it "An insipid film with threadbare antagonists and unintentionally comical scares".[5] Manigandan KR of Times Now rated three out of five and wrote "In all, Guardian is a reasonably good horror thriller that is worth watching once."[6]
