Super Deluxe

Director Thiagarajan Kumararaja's Super Delux is a  gem, if you haven't Netflixed yet..i strongly recommend you put it on your wish list. Although completely unrelated, it reminded me of Crash on the treatment, the way four stories are weaved and criss cross each other on a single day. 

What a beautiful flick, Just loved the rebelious narrative. The story doesn't conform to norms,  busts hypocrisy and taboo's, explores freedom, questions belief and confronts so called dysfunctionalities. 

Everything about the movie but specifically the story, performances( its loaded with the best, Aswanth, Vijay, Ramya, Fahaadh)  screenplay, direction are just plain awesome. Wonder why Gully Boy over Super Delux at Oscars. 

A clip from the story that touched me the most, the story of a gender dysphoric father/son relationship. Never seen such a beautiful portrayal of love, anguish, pain, acceptance that's written with such maturity of a subject that's complicated. And the conversations between them is ❤ at 24 carat. Vijay Serhupathi and Ashwanth - my bow🙌

Thanks Nikhil for this reco...  you made my year 😊
