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.

Chaavu Kaburu Challaga - Movie Review

 

Streaming: AHA Movies

The makers of Chaavu Kaburu Challaga announced that they have taken the feedback from theater release and re-edited the movie. I have not seen the theatrical release and so this review is only for the OTT release.

Right from the word go, two things that hit the bullseye in Chaavu Kaburu Challaga are its hero Kartikeya and dialogues. Kartikeya picked up a role of a guy who moves bodies for cremation. His body language, slang and mannerisms are all perfect. Then he adds a layer of performance on top of it and comes out as perfect package for this movie. His acting in numerous scenes in the movie are top notch and on par with seasoned actors. 

Secondly the dialogues of the movie hit you real hard and make you get up and give the needed attention to the subject. Lavanya, Amani, Murali Sharma and rest of the cast are all apt. For such a unique and progressive film, the initial sequences of hero trying to impress heroines by following and borderline eve-teasing should have been avoided. Also the music should have been given more attention with some memorable songs added in the mix

Right from the moment, Aamani's role's significance is revealed 30 minutes in, to the last scene of the movie, Chaavu Kaburu Challaga is a must watch.
