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.

OK Bangaram - Review

Take a wafer thin script that has already been done before(Love Aaj Kal and Salaam Namaste) but add two super talented lead actors, back it with awesome soundtrack from Rahman and then fill it with loads and loads of unadulterated romance, Mani Ratnam style. That's how you get OK Bangaram. The man who gave South India Mouna Ragam, Geethanjali and Sakhi is back with OK Bangaram and it is no exaggeration that this is equally good. There are scenes of lead pair on stairs in front of a building, scenes in the buses, in trains, bike rides, beach rides, rain sequences and many more to bring back the Mani Ratnam nostalgia. Dulquer looks an able heir to Mammootty and with better looks. He looked cool in the role and did his bit good. Nitya is the one that steals the show with her role of life or as I feel the role that she was born to do. Nitya looked as if she was the girl God made after watching Mani Ratnam movies. She is personification of Mani's heroines. Nothing I say will suffice to explain her performance. Rest of the cast is also ably supporting. Ending, though predictable, helps you maintain that smile you have been retaining from first frame. If you love a good romantic movie, this is that perfect date night movie you need. But if you are a Mani Ratnam fan and you are reading this review instead of watching the movie then stop the blasphemy and book your tickets now.
