No doubt Thiagarajan Kumararaja’s Super Deluxe is one of the masterpiece and the cult classic film in Tamil. The moment I saw the posters of Park Chan-wook’s Sympathy for Vengeance, Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill and a picture of David Lynch at the DVD Rental store in the film, I was sold, that’s when I thought this is going to be full paisa vasool padam. You’re getting a full package of four Film (since it has four different story) wrapped and served on a platter.
In one of the interview Thiagarajan Kumararaja said he’s afraid to write and he’s lazy. Seriously…? When he can create wonders like Aaranya Kaandam and Super Deluxe when he’s afraid and lazy, just wonder what would be the outcome if he’s not lazy or afraid.
Take a bow to the writers – Kumararaja, Mysskin, Nalan Kumarasamy and Neelan K. Sekhar for crafting such a phenomenal story across their views on life, relationships, love, sex and spirituality. And an extra effort made by Kumararaja to hyperlink those stories along With Idiosyncratic and Palpable characters.
And our very own Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi playing the transgender women Shilpa, the episodes between him and his son Rasukutty (Ashwanth Ashokkumar) Was so pure, for sure you will fall in love with that kid. Bagavathi Perumal as SI Berlin is one character where the audience will feel like thrashing him, Shilpa-Berlin and Vaembu-Berlin scenes, will definitely fill the rage in the eyes of the audience for its own reasons. Leela’s (Ramya Krishnan) dialogue towards the end of the climax, will definitely hit you hard.
Fahadh Faasil as Mugilan, Mysskin as Arputham, Gayathrie as Jyothi and the four kids. You will witness some awe-inspiring performance by each and everyone, proving their caliber. Even the minor characters, has done some stupendous job in acting.
Once you understand Kumararaja, the same lengthy and boring scenes will now slowly transit to an interesting setting. Vinod and Nirav Shah cinematography elevates the story, the color pattern, the unconventional camera angles, along with the crisp editing by Sathyaraj Natarajan, I was spellbound.
If you’ve already validated ‘Rowdy Baby’ as Yuvan Shankar Raja best in career in terms of its quality treatment and popularity, then you must Watch Super Deluxe. As they say, there’s something more than that meets the eye, U1 ‘s sound design techniques is one among that. Every minute detail that you witness in his background scoring along with Illaiyaraja songs, is something which can be considered as the added bonus to your paisa vasool ticket. And the ride ends with the compelling climax.
If one can even enjoy the steady frame for more than 8 seconds and the silence within that. Then it has to be Thiagarajan Kumararaja’s Film.
Samantha as Vaembu, is one heck of a performance. For the fact, she wasn’t the first choice for the character, many leading actresses had turned down playing Vaembu. And now I can say, no one else could have done it better than Sam, she’s irreplaceable.

*** THOUSAND MESSAGES ONE MOVIE ***

Thiagarajan Kumararaja has conveyed and compiled so many messages as much as possible in a movie. I am sure the might have forced to have omitted few messages…
Thiagarajan Kumararaja has conveyed and compiled so many messages as much as possible in a movie. I am sure the might have forced to have omitted few messages due to the length of the movie.How do you feel when you have something to say to the world and it displayed in the form of a movie, it was such a kind of a movie.It is not easy to direct such movies without the influence of a higher intellectual.It is high time people change their perception and start accepting realities in life.Life is very simple, we spoil it because of our very own thoughts and deeds.This movie is to all those who have the ability to perceive and be receptive to adapt a new life. You realise life, because you are alive !!!
