Suicide Squad 2 - Movie Review

Streaming: HBOMAX Suicide Squad 1 was one of the finest DC movies(Minus Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy) to come out from their camp. Do not go by the reviews. It was so well received that Harley Quinn had her own movie. Now cut to Suicide Squad 2 with the famous James Gunn from Marvel camp at the helm, it barely meets the expectations.  Marvel made it seem so easy to write a super hero movie in super entertaining fashion with movies like Winter Soldier, Thor Ragnorak, Guardians of the Galaxy etc. But DC thought all they needed was the guy who directed Guardians to sell Suicide Squad. Oh my oh my how they were wrong. In one phrase, Suicide Squad is a gross mess that shines few times and far in between. Suicide Squad is no Guardians, not even close. The screenplay is messy. The visuals are gross but it aint Kill Bill. Kill Bill romanticizes with violence but Suicide Squad tries to romanticize with gross elements. To say the least, it doesn't work in favor of the movie.

Sri Rama Rajyam(Telugu) review



If you ever felt bad and sympathy for Seetha Devi in the male chauvinistic tale written by Valmiki called "Ramayanam", you would cry like I did in this movie. Almost for 1 hour of the movie I was moist eyed.Watch out for "evariki ee pareeksha" song in second half...pinnacle of emotions. Yes the movie is a remake of LavaKusa but more stress on Seetha Devi padda kashtaalu, aamekunna
bhoodevini minchina orpu. As a fan of old Lava Kusa, who listened to the movie audio(dialogues and songs of complete movie) over and over as a kid, I was looking forward to this movie and am really glad to say Bapu and Ilayaraja mesmerized me with their genius work. Credit should also be given to Late Sri Mullapudi Ramana garu and lyricist Jonnavithula for achcha Telugu sravananandakaramaina sambhashanalu mariyu sahitya bharitha, sannivesochitha paatalu. I dont think its an exaggeration to say that Nayanatara acted on par with Anajali Devi if not more. Balakrishna might be one of the best choices to play this role today but definitely not even close to the magnanimity and divine aura of Annagaru. His diction lacked the "soumyatha" needed for Rama.He looked right though. ANR was apt and his pure telugu dialogue delivery at this age needs commendation. Movie is rich in production values. This one mainly missed two things 1) "Ahaa emi aa tejassu, choosina ventane chethulu jodinchi namaskarinchaali ani pisthundhi" ane dialogue cheppinchukune anthanthi Ramudu leka povadam. 2) My fav song "Oorake kanneeru nimpa, kaaranam emamma" from old Lava Kusa.
I neither liked the old climax and obviously didn't like the same new one. After all the struggles she had been, she never gets to see the enjoyment phase. Poor Seetha Devi.
