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.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani - Review

Unfulfilled love is definitely painful but that alone cannot make for a good watch if you plan on making a good movie. It needs heart wrenching music, capable direction, decent plot and well supporting dialogues in it. HAK suffers from lack of capable direction and well supporting dialogues. There is plenty of pain in the plot made more painful by the title song and Humnawa song. But they only occupy 10% of the runtime and rest is a been there seen that kind of melodrama and too much crying. Vidya Balan is wasted. Emran Hashmi and Rajkumar Rao gave their top notch performances. It is these two people and some soulful background score that make this movie watchable. What Aashiqui2 did with its great music, subtle emotions, brilliant direction and good plot is what even this movie attempts. It falls short though yet still manages to tug at your heartstrings here and there. So in a way its a painful story told in a painful way(pun intended)
