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. Idris Elba is...

Fan Review

Let me warn you before hand that this is not our regular Bollywood movie. With no songs or any comedy this is a movie with zero bollywood commercial elements. Director Maneesh Sharma took a nice script and cast Shahrukh in it. His work was done then and Shahrukh took that movie to an altogether different level with his impeccable acting. His acting is so perfect that you won't see Shahrukh even for single moment. Gaurav is an image that would get imprinted on your minds but not Shahrukh. I still cannot come to terms that it was Shahrukh. Prosthetic makeup will not help unless the actor underneath it can perform well. And Shahrukh does just that and in a pretty awesome way.

What the movie needed was better screenplay. It drags in places. Also I felt usage of some original ShahRukh dialogues in some scenes of Gaurav would have been very nice.   If only Maneesh and his writing team had done better job then they could have taken some credit for the greatness of this movie. So now we are left with a okay movie that Shahrukh used to his full advantage to showcase his acting talent, I repeat acting talent not his usual romantic hero charm or his stardom. Also this movie will be thoroughly enjoyed by Pre-DDLJ fans of Shahrukh. He brings back all those memories of Darr and Anjaam days.

Watch it with bare minimum expectations on the writing of the movie and with huge expectations on Shahrukh's acting and he will still go beyond your expectations. A true classic act and one that will be remembered for years.
