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.

Rakshasudu - Review

People always use the phrase "honest remake" when reviewing a remake movie. There was never a movie which was as honest a remake as Rakshasudu. It is a frame to frame remake of the movie. It is so honest that I seriously doubt if the flashback episodes were reshot or just used from original.

Ratsasan(The original) is a very well made and decently researched psycho killer mystery. The movie has a focused approach towards the story. The director of the original uses all the world cinema's knowledge on this subject and makes a movie of his own.

In Telugu there is zero difference from the original except for the actors. Vishnu Vishal in Tamil is a decent actor with his limitations and his awareness of his limitations. Srinivas on other hand is yet to prove his acting abilities. He did alright in this except for his monotonous modulation. He plays a serious cop but yet his dialogue delivery sounds similar to his role in Sita. He needs to work on it if he is serious about his career in Telugu. Anupama did decent in the role. Rest of the cast is good. Ghibran's music is a major highlight. It captures the mood of the movie perfectly.

Overall, Rakshasudu is the perfect frame to frame remake of the original which is a brilliant mystery. So if you haven't seen the original yet, you have now two movies to pick and choose from to must watch.
