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.

Autonagar Surya - Review

For Deva Katta, it is a tough act to follow Prasthanam. He proved with Autonagar Surya that his writing is better than many of his contemporaries. But where he clearly lacked is his execution. There are way too many drawbacks in this movie that make this movie just an average fare. A decent first half followed up by a complicated confusing narration of wafer thin plot in second half. All the songs are misplaced just like Prasthanam. But all the actors did their roles perfectly well. Dialogues in first half and few in second half are real gems. Scenes in Union office in the movie are very well written but still leave you asking for more. There are very good satires on human psychology. Some more focus on second half would have made this movie an above average one. But comparing with Prasthanam, this movie falls far behind. Main usp of Prasthanam was the intense mood of the movie which is lacking here. Autonagar Surya at best looks like some good 90s movies with socialistic ideas. I conclude by saying Autonagar Surya is not Deva Katta's best as director but still one of the best as dialogue writer. Better luck next time Chaitanya, if there is still a next time.
