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...

Ghazi review

First and foremost I would like to appreciate the casting team of this movie. Knowing very well that the subject is very novel to Indian audience and understanding the sale-ability constraints very well, they cast the perfect cast to make it cross the borders of the states and make it a multi-lingual. Kay Kay Menon and Atul Kulkarni to attract the Hindi speaking multiplex audience. Rana, a well known name in Bollywood circle post Bahubali and our very own Telugu hero. When time came to pick an actress for a cameo and to put her face on the posters, who better than Tapsee who just had a hit in the form of Pink in Bollywood and a very well known face in Telugu cinema. Picking the good actors among the Telugu supporting actors and the ones that come for less price too is the icing on the cake. So please give the casting team an award. And all the known actors live up to their reputations and the lesser known ones live up to the standards of the former. It is a treat to watch actors like Ravi Varma, Satyadev etc stand their ground before the likes of Kay Kay and Atul.

Coming to the movie, it is a good story and very novel setup. Submarine wars is never heard of in Indian cinema or at least as far as I know. All they needed now was at least a good narration with not much boring moments. That is exactly what is served. Yes it could have been better in terms of writing but you would not complain much. Yes you would feel there was something missing but patriotism infused by Rana's dynamic voice towards the climax makes up for it.

I would say that this movie is a must watch if you are really intrigued by submarine wars and how they are done and if you have not seen any Hollywood ones. And for others, yes it could have been better but you have encouraged worse ones before. So watch this.
