Guardian is all set ready to enchant your screens again, as it is premiering on Aha Tamil on October 30th. Right in time for Diwali, this thriller promises a spine-chilling experience for the festive season. But how was the film received during its theatrical run, and what can the OTT release bring to the table?
Guardian, which hit the screens on March 8, 2024, received mixed reviews from the viewers. While many appreciated the supernatural and human contents within it, the way Hansika Motwani portrayed Aparna – a woman who discovers that every wish is about to come true at a cost – had been greatly appreciated.
On the other hand, many felt that it was a poorly paced movie, which could have executed better if done sharply. All over this, the movie still gathered a decent fan base, especially among the enthusiasts of horror genres.
Now, with the Aha Tamil OTT release, it is a good opportunity for Guardian to reach a more extended audience. The benefit of OTT is that one can watch the movie at his or her convenience and is not bound by the time schedule of the theatres. This is very helpful in the Diwali season when families look for good content to pass their time together.
Moreover, the digital output will facilitate the crossing over of the film beyond national borders. Since its theatrical release remained regionalized, it implies that due to streaming by Aha Tamil, one can watch Guardian throughout India and beyond its own geography. It increases the number of viewers as well as public acceptance significantly.
Apart from the convenience and reach of an OTT release, it may spark conversations and buzz around the film. Social media platforms and online forums offer great mediums through which fans can express their views and reviews and perhaps bring in new viewers who may have missed it during its theatrical run.
Finally, although Guardian had mixed responses at the box office, digital release on Aha Tamil will give it a second breath. When the ability of the film to hook in a larger audience combines with the demand for thrilling content during the festive season, Guardian is well on its way to succeeding on the digital platform. So, get ready for a spectacular Diwali and plunge into the world of Guardian on Aha Tamil!
