This discussion gets into SPOILERS for SUPER DELUXE. You have been warned.
After making us wait for 8 years after his cult first feature AARANYA KAANDAM, Thiagarajan Kumararaja returns to the big screen with SUPER DELUXE. Starring Vijay Sethupathi, Samantha Akkineni, Fahadh Faasil, Mysskin, Ramya Krishnan, few Tamil films outside of the blockbuster mainstream have been as hotly anticipated and as immediately dissected online. And just with his first film, Kumararaja is not one to dance to Kollywood's tune.
Sindhu and Nikhil dig into SUPER DELUXE by first contextualizing why the film has been this awaited, then jumping into all the layers that we were able to find the first time around.
We also mention:
- Baradwaj Rangan's excellent review and Raja Sen's Twitter review of the film, both of which are great post-viewing resources.
- Magnolia, Amores Perros, Babel, Wild Tales - multinarrative/hyperlink films that Super Deluxe is similar to in structure.
- Aaranya Kaandam, Kumararaja's first film (also available for viewing on Hotstar)
