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.

Gunjan Saxena - Movie Review

 

Sometimes the distant you are from a point the better job you can do in depicting it. May be that is what helped Sharan Sharma, the director, to do an honest job on depicting the story of Gunjan Saxena and hurdles in her way for being a woman and yet not sounding even a little bit feminist. That is what makes this movie a winner for me. 

Gunjan Saxena is a very very(mind the two verys) honest movie on Gunjan Saxena's story. The movie does not even try to grab sympathy for Gunjan's role. Instead at every moment it inspires. And thats why each viewer is bound to love this movie.

Coming to performances, the lead Janhvi rises up to the occasion and delivers. She looked middle class not just by her looks but by her expressions, body language and emotions. And given the very little scope of overdoing any emotion by the director, she excels in subtlety. Next comes, Pankaj Tripathi. I liked him in many of his roles earlier. But this time I loved him. You all will love him too. That scene with Gunjan in kitchen..."Love you Mr. Pankaj Tripathi". That scene could have gone wrong with a bad actor or an over achieving actor. But Pankaj knows exactly the right amounts and he delivers precisely that. 

The movie production design is authentic and the entire technical crew lines up behind the director's vision and gives us a very good emotional cute story of Gunjan Saxena. 

More than anything, watching this movie is satisfying.
