Vijay Sethupati's Highlight From Cinema Genius Super Deluxe

Super Deluxe is a high-energy octane-introducing movie. And it consists of a stellar cast of magnitude of performances.

The film of course, starts with seemingly innocent kids trying to purchase a movie R-rated. And in doing so, they discover something which they shouldn't. And it shows the pain, agony, surprise and the hyper-reaction of a kid.

It just simply translates that energy from one scene to another and keeps on doing that. It transfers energy to the kid's father, who believes in God because he was saved in a tsunami by the Christ statue, to another scene to the kid, who is very happy and almost practising every day to meet his father.

And of course, there is this amalgamation of everything, and it makes for a stellar movie; there are many things to learn from this genius movie and the highlight, of course, is Vijay Sethupati’s performance of a transgender. It showcases delicate moments with Good with the family members and the struggle of acceptance and the sheer pain from society. Society inhibits him and makes sure that every point of interaction is playing harassment, molestation, abuse, and sheer ignorance.

There's one scene when he goes to school, and whatever he says doesn't matter the other person just keeps on showing her away as if like she's an object and her presence doesn't matter.

The film makes for a compelling case of intertwining of stories it's I have never seen such a beautiful overlapping movie before ever in the cinema.

How Bad Remakes Ruined Bollywood?

Remakes aren't something new to the Bollywood, we have been making them from the 80s and it is a simple hit formula. Take any South Indian movie which is a hit, then you know the story is going to be a success, make a frame by frame copy and write the dialogues by the great Kader Khan. Since, there is no dubbing and the North Indian doesn't know South Indian languages, you have a formula for a bigger Hindi movie success. This worked and the trend kept continuing. I remember, when Salman Khan was going through a tough phase, he made Wanted, a remake with the high action, drama of the South movie and boom, his career revived. Surely, the remakes work. But now we have South Indian movies which are dubbed in Hindi and also there are people warming up to the fact that watching a movie with subtitles isn't bad. So in this era, is making a remake still a viable option. And what are are some characteristics of a bad or good remake movie which are made in Bollywood, the Hindi film i...

Welcome Back To The Jungle and The Issues With Sequels

 Welcome was a masterpiece. When I first watched it, I laughed, second time, I remembered some of the dialogues and now it is a culture to repeat dialogues. Amazing it was. Then came Welcome back. Bad. However, it was bearable to watch. A failed attempt to somehow make it work. Rehash everything that worked the first time. I never watched it again. I remember the dialogues felt forced and repetitive. What was once a good dialogue, now felt badly placed it. Now, we are watching the third installment, for which there shouldn't have been the second sequel too. But the game of money makes sure the people keep coming back to the theatres. There is money to be thrown, and somehow lets call it the same franchise and make it make bank. That's what they are hoping for. A failed attempt to do so. Because we all know the result, it will be a forgetful movie and then we move on. They aren't even attempting to do something original, songs are being reused, dialogues are reused and someh...

Dhurandhar Review

 When you think of a spy action film, you might think of Jawan or Pathan. But those are stylised and forgettable films. They work only on the stardom of the actors. But in Dhurandhar, there is substance, story and also the acting. All the ensemble cast are good, but three people who did a fantastic job are Akshay Khanna, Rakesh Bedi and Danish. You know you are the best actor in the movie when your scene is with Ranveer Singh in almost every frame, yet people don't notice the supposed star. You steal the spotlight and how. Rakesh Bedi has always been a performative actor, and he has been thoroughly utilised in this movie to the best of his capabilities. Danish comes as a surprise. I suspect the future is bright for him. Because he has got the charisma and the acting chops to take it forward. Dhurandhar wins because of the story, stellar performances but most importantly the music of the movie incorporating the right remix versions of the original song. Best use of the song. Let...
