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.

Stree - Review

Stree is a very smart horror comedy. The humor in this movie is a direct satire on the current political atmosphere especially in the region where this movie is shot in. There are so many references to atrocities/restrictions against women, some political groups narrow mindedness and even to Aadhar privacy issue. How the movie includes all this and yet tells the story of Stree is what makes this a smart movie.

Stree is a horror comedy based on "O stree Repu Raa" episodes that happened down south in Andhra and Karnataka states in the 90s. It is a very simple story but with very efficient writing and narration it is made for an interesting watch. The actors are all perfect. Raj Kumar Rao is his usual cute self. Shraddha is perfect in the mystical role. The supporting cast is good too. The small town atmosphere and people's thinking are captured well.

Overall, Stree is an interesting watch if you like the horror genre.
