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.

Uppena - Movie Review

Uppena after ruling the box office is finally available on Netflix. 


Uppena works for many reasons. First and foremost Vijay Sethupathy, next DSP’s one of the finest albums, the lead actors that acted so good for debutants, Camre work, art work and the production values. Uppena falls short due to dialogues that are good for one liners but does not fit well in the context. Direction is alright. 

Uppena’s first half is a breeze with some over the top dialogues but the actors make them sound cute. The second half especially towards the climax, it feels like the makers were searching for words to convey what they sought out to convey. The climax between Krithi and Sethupathy is a big letdown owing to the inept dialogues. It feels so forced why Rayanam is having a change of heart. 

Music is the hero of the movie. DSP proves his mettle with a claaaic album. Sethupathy is wasted in a uni-dimensional and lethargically dubbed role. Both Vaishnav and Krithi act so good. Rest of the cast are apt

Overall, Uppena is a different kind of love story that needed better handling but the yays outweigh the nays and so it’s alright.
