Super Deluxe, 2019, Thyagarajan Kumara Raja

Four writers Thiyagarajan Kumar Raja, Nalan Kumaraswamy, Myskkin and Neelan K Sekar, together worked together to get Super Deluxe right.

I guess they took their own sweet time to get things together, but the end product is worthy of their efforts.

Not sure if any other film ever attempted to discuss the deepest philosophy through the the most easy to understand stories.

This movie is also another classic case where the writers and the film maker is having a lot of fun.

We can wait for Thyagarajan Kumar Raja, for probably another 8 years, I am sure we may have nothing to complain.

Here is my brief review of Super Deluxe when it was released

Profound and Stunning

Five star film making, that teases, tickles and at the same time sets you thinking about the travails of human existence and journey.

While many of the stories may be have been borrowed and adapted, the movie raises the bar, and is a much needed social commentary, that is bound to trigger a lot of conversations.

I am not really bothered that the film may have been influenced by other works of art, but to me, the movie questions the quintessential HYPOCRISY that engulfs our society.

Rajajgopalachari, would have been mighty pleased, that his short story "Hunchback Sundari", has been adapted beautifully, into the Vijay Sethupathi segment. Sundari's daughter always saw the mother as beautiful. the form(her hunchback), was not significant. Here the Hunchback has been mapped to a transgender. The profoundness of the concept needed be retold and I am so glad somebody adapted it this well.

While I enjoy Vijay Sethupathi, I always though he has a knack of making an impact, despite being repetitive. The look and feel would change, but we would end up seeing only Vijay Sethupathy. Mercifully, he has an opportunity to get to play the role of his life time, making our hearts melt.

While all acting performances are near perfect, Bags, Bagavathy perumal sizzles. His eyes are menacing, villainous and lecherous. The swag adds to the sizzle.

The technical quotient of the film is top class and so is the music

Hats off, to the entire team to put this together for a common man to savour and ultimately be able to think on the most profound philosophies of life.

Watch it with ADULT FRIENDS and ADULT family members and indulge in conversations, that are very much needed.

The Acceptance of Super Deluxe is also an indication whether Tamil Nadu/India is evolving.
