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.

NOTA - Review

First things first I seriously do not understand why the movie is named NOTA. There is not even a single reference to that in the movie. If there was any subtext referring to NOTA, I completely missed it.

Now coming to the movie, Vijay is wasted in a role that does not need him to do anything, not even walk in slow motion like Mahesh in Bharat Ane Nenu. Yes the comparison with that was inevitable. Bharat Ane Nenu is still fresh in audience minds and NOTA makes BAN look like a great movie, which it is not.

The movie is a kichdi of too many things that happened in real life. It touches kids bus attacked by political party goons, MLA Poaching episode, Chennai/Kerala Rains episodes, something similar to Elephant corridor allegations on Sadhguru etc. But it all needed a direction and a point to drive home, which the movie clearly lacked. So it ends up as a boring saga of too many plots and plot twists. Let's not even talk about Nassar in second half. SatyaRaj has something like a role but not sure what that was. And Mehreen who plays his daughter now  holds a record for most insignificant heroine role ever in Indian cinema. All this boils down to writing and it has inefficiency and inadequacy written all over it.

Overall, this one Vijay Deverakonda movie is not worth it and for people waiting for him to fail, this is your day. But Vijay, with his immense talent, will and of course can bounce back soon.

    Political satire movie with real life incidents is enough for you to connect to the movie, unlike commercial political drama movie where hero is given unnecessary hype and elevation scenes in an inapt situation.
