EntertainmentThis is by no means an exhaustive list and is only a starter pack! Tnm StaffMahesh Narayanan's C U Soon, released directly on Amazon Prime Video, has been getting rave reviews from viewers. Of special significance is the fact that the film was shot in under 20 days with an iPhone camera and the entire story is told through screens. These factors have piqued the curiosity of viewers and as a consequence, the film has attracted several people who may not have watched a south Indian — let alone Malayalam — film before this. Even film critics who don't usually review south Indian films have been lavish in their praise of C U Soon. Although there are four big film industries in the south, Indian cinema is often equated to Bollywood. Among those who haven't watched south Indian films, there exists a perception that "down south", the films made are all loud, unrealistic and grossly exaggerated.

KollywoodAmong the different stories that make up Thiagarajan Kumararaja's 'Super Deluxe', Vijay Sethupathi's performance as trans woman Shilpa is the most heartbreaking.Sowmya RajendranI was in college, second year BA English to be precise, when I was introduced to the concept of existentialism. The idea that god is dead (if at all you believed in such an entity) and that there is no pattern to our human lives which are but a series of random events. It's a difficult idea to accept because so much of the world is designed and organised around the thought that our actions will find logical ends, like well-aimed arrows finding their targets. Religion and its godchild morality certainly say so. But if we are to zoom out, observe our little, insignificant lives from a distance, the way the camera often behaves in Super Deluxe, letting us watch the drama unfold as mere spectators,...

Movies as diverse as “Short Cuts,” “Weekend at Bernie’s,” “Pulp Fiction,” “Magnolia” and “The Man Who Fell to Earth” are among the source material that inspire wink-wink allusions and tonal disruptions throughout “Super Deluxe,” an overextended and wildly uneven Tamil-language extravaganza that manages to impress largely because it’s such a shoot-the-works, go-for-broke mess.
You may hate yourself in the morning — hey, you might not feel so good about yourself while you’re actually wallowing in the excesses of “Super Deluxe” — but director Thiagarajan Kumararaja’s unstable mix of dark comedy, brutal thriller and Douglas Sirkian melodrama remains inexcusably fascinating even as it methodically jumps a school of sharks during the final third of its nearly three-hour running time.

KollywoodSound is an important part of the video, but much like the trailer, the promo too is presented as a puzzle.Tnm StaffYoutube/Yuvan Shankar RajaAfter an unconventional trailer, Vijay Sethupathi and Samantha Ruth Prabhu starrer Super Deluxe has a new offering – a “Ding Dong promo”. In a style that is now being associated with its director Thiagarajan Kumararaja, this promo’s narration is dependent largely on its sound, much like the trailer. The film stars Vijay Sethupathi, Fahadh Faasil, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Mysskin and Ramya Krishnan in lead roles. In this 'Ding Dong' promo, we have a loop of Fahadh swearing and Samantha talking in whispers, punctuated by Vijay Sethupathi’s character, Shilpa, uttering the phrase “ding dong”. The words tumble out of the character’s mouth while she looks confused; her hair ruffled and kajal smudged. This “ding dong” is a leitmotif, and the crescendo ends in silence...

Eight years ago director Thiagarajan Kumararaja stunned Indian film audiences with his debut feature, Aaranya Kaandam (Anima and Persona). Instantly hailed as an indie noir classic and the kind of crime film that much of India has been desperate to replicate in the years since, Aaranya Kaandam was seen as the birth of an incredible new talent, but then Kumararaja went silent for a bit. As audiences chomped at the bit for new material, he has been biding his time in putting together just the right project as a worthy successor, and here we are in 2019 with Super Deluxe.
