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.

Shivam(Telugu) - Review

Shivam starts off pretty good. It is a commercial cinema but at least it tries to be different than the Srinu Vytla inspired format. It has a good first half but post interval everything becomes slow and stale. Flashback episode saves the second half a bit but then the climax again is a big letdown. A more detailed, more emotional flashback and less dragged villain threads in second half could have saved the movie. Ram is impeccable in the routine role but I think he needs to take the confidence levels a few notches low for his roles. Raashi is good looking and refreshing. Songs are decent on screen. Overall Shivam is a decent chance missed.

Ram is a decent talent in Telugu cinema but his back to back average movies are not doing right justice to his talent. His lack of strong fan base is the main reason his average movies are not becoming into hit movies. He needs more focus on good cinema than mass commercial cinema.
