Super Deluxe Review

Thiagarajan Kumararaja is really talented and showed his visionary power through his debut film, Aaranya Kaandam which was brilliant and critically acclaimed as well. The Director-Writer plays in multiple tracks come with three equally talented writer-director to write the screenplay of Super Deluxe. That's provides a powerful plot with various themes to generate this superstructure. The strength of this film was its screenplay written by Mysskin, Thiagarajan Kumararaja, Nalan Kumarasamy, & Nelen K. Sekar.

In Bollywood, the writer-director struggles to find one original idea for a film. Kumararaja shows his class and comes with a web of four uncanny ideas that have four subplots transitioned between the story.

Collaborative writing is not new but the formation of dense narrative to support this kind of superstructure which results in making excellent films like Andhadhun & Tumbbad.

Storyline -

Mugil returns home with a neighbor's relative and found the dead body of the ex-boyfriend of his spouse in the refrigerator. Another one, a little boy named, Raskutti and his whole family waits for his father who is returning home after seven years appears as a trans woman named, Shilpa. Other, five friends skip school to watch porn and one boy, Soori found his mother in the film and the last was entangled with the third one, in which Soori runs to kill his mother with a screwdriver which involves his dad and mythologist, Arputh.

These unusual storylines were as feverish as the movie itself and Kumararaja presented with a warm and spectacular Cinematography, having the best actors on board to perform.

The contrast was so beautiful. The story is strong and gripping, keeps you engage even between the transition of the subplots.

The idea is new, unique and plausible. I didn't find myself at any point that I can predict anything or any scene or ending and there were so many incidents happening which keep you hectically, on the edge of the seat. After the introduction of different worlds, themes, realities. The film stands to connect us with different mythologies too.

Four stories start one by one and somehow connect with each other. Initially, I'm convincing myself that the concept may be the same as we saw earlier on Care Of Kancharapalem and all the characters may be telling the different phases of the protagonist but no it's not.

In these subplots, some characters traverse between the different timelines. Also, the characters of these distinct worlds are so excitingly written that they will surprise you every time with their decisions because the screenplay has dense roots with intense narration which brilliantly places every puzzle incredibly on the right floor.

The ending will leave you in a tremor because the way we're headed throughout the story, takes us to the diverse world at the end which we are not expecting and looks completely irrelevant by the sight of the film but it bangs on with the psych of ours in the end.

Blinking of green light in one scene was extremely bizarre when Shilpa begs for his son to Arputh. The methodology they believe was equivalent to madness.

Colors -

The shade is bright and energetic which shows the richness of the color palette that is breathing out heavily on the screens.

The contrast is warm to show the rawness of the character. The Cinematographer, P.S. Vinod & Nirav Shah shot most of the scenes which are aesthetically pleasing.

And I actually love the combination of lights they use to differentiate between the stories, to describe the character in a most effective way. They use Blue, Red, Yellow, & Green to explores this crazy world. The cinematography was really powerful and lustrous.

Performance -

Ramya Kriahnan as Soori's mother just nailed it with her powerful acting and presence. Samantha with her muffled voice as required for her character played frantically Accurate.

Gone to watch for Vijay and found Fahadh as a surprise ..

Because of Sethupati, who was in a Trans role, looks so intense in his character which starts my eagerness but I'm really surprised after founding Fahadh in this and want to watch more of his work and especially both together which is not possible in this film, both are in separate stories and didn't have any scene together. I think he deserves a Bollywood debut, will be good in any role but I want him to play Villian in Bollywood.

Ending -

The ending is really good and satisfying. But I want it more aggressive and raw because when you excite the audience with so many shocking and unique incidents that make our expectation high and want to end it at a very high note. I'm not saying ending is bad or unrealistic but slightly more aggressive I want.

But still, the concept what the director wants to tell us was different and unique like the entire film and that's why it ends like that, according to the theme, they present.

I'm still thinking and curious, why this is not the Official entry of India to Oscars ..
