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.

Bhaagamathie - Review

I can not review it completely without spilling any spoilers. So I would keep it simple. Watch it for Telugu cinema's only Super Star heroine Anushka. Her scenes are Bhaagamathie are beyond any words. Watch out for one hand gesture she does in second half scene. One can watch the movie multiple times just for that shot. Saying that she is brilliant does not do the justice. Totally toally goosebumps inducing performance. The second hero of the movie is Thaman. He had decided to kill the people with his BGM in this horror movie. His BGM makes sure that this movie is not for the weak-hearted. His music mixed with those scary scenes are a perfect recipe. Raju Gari Gadhi 2 and now Bhaagamathie, he should be focusing on horror movies from now on instead of the commercial potboilers.

Biggest problem with the movie is that the movie stands out as just average if you take out the Bhaagamathie scenes. The last 30 minutes becomes predictable bordering close on illogical. Malayalam actor Jayaram is a wrong choice for the role. He seriously hams his way through the last 30 minutes of the movie. The role needed so much more finesse. Direction is good in parts. Art work and Camera are top notch. Unni Mukundan is very good in his small role and his voice by Hema Chandra is pretty good. Asha is good. Rest of the cast support well.

But still, movie is a must watch if you do not want to miss goosebumps inducing Anushka's performance mixed with awesome BGM by Thaman on big screen. Be warned, the scary parts can make your heart skip a beat or a few mainly due to the BGM. One last thing before concluding, "Take a bow, Anushka."
