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.

Ajeeb Daastaans - Movie Review

 

Streaming: Netflix

Ajeeb Daastaans is a newest Bollywood attempt at bold plot lines revolving around LGBT awareness, Infidelity, Class Differences, Caste differences etc. 

The biggest plus point of this movie, which is a series of four short stories, is it's casting. Starting from Konkana to Shefali to Jaideep to Nusrat to Aditi to Fatima to Abhishek, everyone is casted perfectly in their respective roles. The writing and direction is also spot on. 

But still Ajeeb Daastaans does not succeed in doing what Paava Kadhaigal did, leave an impression. All the stories in Ajeed Daastaans are good but in the quest for an ajeeb twist at the end, I felt, the stories lost the soul in them. Also it feels as if the subject matters are only touched at the very surface level and the deep dives are what are missing. 

Ajeeb Daastaans may be watched for the cast and good stories but it misses the must watch x-factor.
