Super Deluxe is a 2019 Indian Tamil-language film co-written, co-produced, and directed by Thiagarajan Kumararaja, and additional screenplay written by Nalan Kumarasamy, Neelan K. Sekar and Mysskin.

As a hyperlink film, it revolves around four groups of individuals who find themselves in the most unexpected predicaments, each poised to experience their destiny, all on one fateful day.

The cinematography was handled by P. S. Vinod and Nirav Shah, after P. C. Sreeram who initially worked on the film's first schedule, walked out of the project midway.

The film received highly positive reviews from critics, praising Kumararaja's direction, storytelling, cinematography, and cast performances (particularly Vijay Sethupathi, Fahadh Faasil and Ashwanth Ashok Kumar).

Arputham breaks the Jesus statue out of rage and desperation and finds long-forgotten diamonds inside it, which he uses to pay for Soori's medical expenses.

As he advances towards the unwilling and distraught Vaembu, intending to have sex with her, the broken TV thrown by the boys (from the rooftop) falls on his head and kills him (bringing to fruition Shilpa's curse).

The friends from the TV story are finally watching a porn film at the theatre, in which a doctor begins by speaking philosophically about the mysteries of life and patterns through the universe, with everything being interconnected in ways as yet unknown to us.

The nurse nearby blinks and starts to take her clothes off, as the porn film title shows its name Vaazhvin Ragasiyam ("The Secret of Life").

[15][16] The same month, P. C. Sreeram was announced as the cinematographer[17][18] and Yuvan Shankar Raja, who worked with Kumararaja in Aaranya Kaandam, was chosen as the music director.

[19] Sathyaraj Natarajan, who worked in the same month as an assistant to Praveen K. L. was chosen as the film editor, and Vijay Adhinathan was the production designer.

[22] He preferred to write the script using the Kino Fist technique – the manipulation of narrative by jumbling up the sequence of frames through shooting and editing – by Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein.

Ramya Krishnan was earlier announced as a second female lead after Samantha Ruth Prabhu and had also shot her portions for the film, but due to creative issues she walked out of the project, and Nadhiya was later brought on board.

[31] Gayathrie was paired opposite Vijay Sethupathi, which marked their fourth collaboration after Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom (2012), Puriyatha Puthir (2017) and Seethakaathi (2018).

[35][36] Filming of the first schedule began in October 2016, but it was immediately halted after 15 days of shoot due to demonetization implemented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the actors' commitments in other projects.

[38] As a result, P. S. Vinod, who had worked with Kumararaja in Aaranya Kaandam, was roped in to replace Sreeram[39] and Nirav Shah handled additional cinematography.

Unlike the previous film, which had no songs, Kumararaja planned a soundtrack album having a mix of retro style, jazz, and contemporary classical music.

[72] Baradwaj Rangan in his review for Film Companion South, praised the director on how he had concentrated on both the larger structure of the story and also on the minute details.

[74] M Suganth, in his review for The Times of India, gave 4 (out of 5) stars and wrote, "There is black comedy, double entendres, swear words, WTF moments, political and social commentary, romance, sentiment and even a musing on what it means to be life on Earth.

[75] Kirubakaran Purushothaman of India Today gave 4+1⁄2 stars (out of 5) and said, "Thiagarajan Kumararaja crafts a path-breaking film that deserves more than one watch to understand the depth in each characterisations".

He called the performances as "top notch" and considered the film as "Tamil cinema's most eccentric and boldest attempts in recent years".

[77] Sowmya Rajendran of The News Minute too gave the same rating and said, "Super Deluxe, like Aaranya Kaandam, will open new doors of possibility for Tamil cinema.

[80] Suparna Sharma of Deccan Chronicle wrote, "Super Deluxe presents, then lovingly creates and frames the most masculine of archetypes on one side, and on the other are women, seeming rendered powerless by morality, gender, sexuality, and virtue.

[82] A critic from Indiaglitz gave the film 3.75 (out of 5) and said, "Super Deluxe is an unforgettable, not to be missed top-notch cinematic experience that deserves to be celebrated".

[87] Ranjani Krishnakumar of Huffington Post said, "Super Deluxe is a delicately intelligent commentary on modern life with such powerful writing and artful filmmaking".

Despite the many interesting characters (and excellent actors) that share screen space, we understand and empathise with them[...] Kumararaja packs so much into so little time that we walk away feeling like we know these people, even if we don't really like all of them".

[88] Joe Leydon of Variety Magazine said, "Thiagarajan Kumararaja's unstable mix of dark comedy, brutal thriller and Douglas Sirk-ian melodrama is shamelessly excessive but undeniably entertaining".

He further wrote, "There can be no denying that Super Deluxe has more than its share of draggy sections where the passage of time and the escalation of humiliation make themselves uncomfortably felt.

[90] Critics Thomas McNulty and Merrick Sinclair of Hollywood Insider said, "Super Deluxe is a masterfully put together web of storylines.

With expert acting, beautiful cinematography, and a non-stop story, Super Deluxe transcends language barriers and is enjoyable by all audiences".

[92][93] The film received four nominations at the inaugural ceremony of Zee Cine Awards Tamil: Best Supporting Actor – Female (Krishnan), Best Child Artist (Ashwanth Ashokkumar), Best Editor (Sathyaraj Natarajan) and Best Art Director (Vijay Adhinathan), and won all of them, including a Jury Special award for Best Actor – Female (Samantha Ruth Prabhu).
