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.

Srimanthudu - Review

Two things I remember walking out of the theater are Mahesh babu and too many cracked bones sounds. Jokes aside, it is very tough for any Star hero to make a movie like Swades work. If it is made with no commerciality it might be lauded but will not work and if you plan to make it commercially viable it is even tougher task. Preaching and commerciality are tough to manage together. And that's what exactly Koratala Siva tried to do in Srimanthudu and frankly saying he failed. The movie is watchable only because of Mahesh's acting and screen presence. Both halfs of the movie look dragged. There are way too many fights, though very well composed. Songs are ok. Movie is very routine. In Telugu, "cinema kashtaalu ekkuva ayina cinema." Let me conclude by saying Srimanthudu is an honest social message based movie corrupted pretty badly by inefficient commerciality. Sadly, Mahesh is the only saving grace.
