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.

Choked - Movie Review

Streaming: Netflix
Wow...Saiyami Kher..after two failed debuts of star son/nephew, this is truly your awesome debut. One, I could have never thought she could pull off the role of a middle class wife with such ease.

Choked is like a many moral stories we have heard growing up that end up with moral of the story being, hard work pays off or ask for only how much you deserve, do not wish bad for others and you will get in trouble etc. Add Anurag Kashyap to this and you have very down to earth very unbollywood-ish middle class story.

Choked is about a middle class wife who works as a banker during Demonetization times. Some might be happy or angry depending your prejudices about this movie's take on demonetization. My take is that movie used it as a very efficient prop for character development. At most Choked showed how it impacted common man without fictionalizing it and also how indifferent some hardworking people were/are about that episode and also PM.

The movie has its own flaws. The story is pretty basic but a nice screenplay helps you get through the movie. Also some plot points are left unexplained or left half-explained.

The actors are all top notch. For a change this is an Anurag Kashyap the whole family can watch and no I am kidding. It is true. Choked is Anurag Kashyap's complete family entertainer.
