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.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan

A helpless little girl and an innocent do-gooder going lengths to help her is a story that is not new. Add to it the Indo-Pak rivalry which is also not new to Bollywood. But stick to the premise, get basics right and infuse enough emotion then you can have a warmth filled feel good movie at hand. Bhajrangi Bhaijaan is one such movie. It has a super cute first half though a little bit cliched . Second half again is cute and preaching unity of nations but narration takes the beating with unnecessary plot twists, impact less scenes and dragged out climax. Salman and the little girl did pretty good. It's a welcome change to see Nawazuddin in a lighter vein role and as always he excels. Kareena looks her bit well in first half and totally sidelined in second half. Rest of the cast fall in place. The actors that played Pakistani roles except Nawazuddin are all having very routine single dimensioned half baked characterizations. Movie in second half kind of reminds you of the director Kabir Khan's first Kabul Express. Overall it is a decent warmth filled movie but with some flawed/dragged narration in second half. Not a true Kabir Khan potential though.
