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.

Janatha Garage

After two average movies turned blockbusters, Koratala Siva comes up with Janatha Garage. Let's just say that he is yet to completely learn his lessons. 


Janatha Garage starts off pretty good with two parallel threads one on nature and one on humanity. Then these two threads converge in an interesting way. What follows then is the Balavanthudu-Balaheenudu-For a change scene, which is the emotional high of the movie. Then starts the last 30 minutes of the movie where suddenly the pace slows down and writing becomes pretty flat bordering on illogical with zero emotion backing the variety climax. That, if had been avoided, the movie would have been top notch. Now it just remains to be scene how audience receive this.


Leaving aside the negatives, let's start with what works in favor of the movie. Firstly DSP background score. This is his best till date. Then NTRs yet another subtle performance with no punch lines or high pitched dialogues. Mohanlal is under utilized but his aura helps. All the Janatha Garage scenes in second half are major plus and whistle worthy. Unlike Srimanthudu, all the fights were done well in this one. All the songs were picturized well and placed well except that pakka local looks forced. Coming to heroines, they are just for namesake not even for songs. Devayani got more role and dialogues than Samantha and Nitya. Rest all the actors did good. 


In short, Janatha Garage is 4/5ths good movie and 1/5th dragged. In other words movie should have ended in 5 minutes after Pakka local song. Instead it drags for 30 minutes.
