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.

Malli Raava - Review

A decent love story is the one that entertains you through out while showing a simple love story. A good love story is the one that sweeps you off your feet with the love story. A beautiful love story is the one where you live the love story along with the actors. Malli raava is undoubtedly a beautiful love story.

I was skeptical, given Sumanth's track record but he surprised me the most in a role that is totally not written with him in mind. Aakanksha is also very good and suited the role very well. The kids were spot on. Usually in movies where kids play the childhood hero and heroine roles, the makers rush the scenes as there is more chance for kids to not live up to the vision. But Malli Raava is a movie where they could not do it. Here the kids had to shoulder the movie equally and boy how they do it! Both the kids act perfect and even the kid who plays dambu is good. Veteran actress Annapurna again proves why there cannot be an authentic bhamma like her in Telugu cinema. 

The director handles the whole 9th class love story in such a classy way. Even the by now famous dialogue "Cricket ante ishtam, dambu ante ishtam, Anjali ante ishtam" is just an example of the writing's master class. 

There is some good humor added to the movie. It fits in almost alright and, may be, helps relieve the seriousness in the love story. The most important aspect of this movie is brilliant screenplay that handles three time lines in parallel. It starts off as a risky gamble but by the movie end, you will fall in love with it. You would not have liked the movie this much in any other way. 

If you are a sucker for good love stories, then consider this a classic.
